I will be shutting down the AA Traders game shortly. I will be making numerous changes to the settings to put us more on par with the standard games the other AA Traders servers are running.

I'm hoping with the changes that we will attract more players and that we will slow down players like Mike, keeping him from being able to attack other players who are just getting started. Because of the settings changes, the games will be set to run longer because it will take longer to get established and get a ship and planets built up.

I apologize for the actions of Mike, who managed to ruin the game for a number of us. I will not stop him from playing, but I'm hoping the changes we make will force him to play differently.
