Protok St has provided a promising framework to extend the quality of life and playability of the game. One aspect of future development being discussed is the notion of streamlining the multiplayer experience, in particular consideration of intergrated multiplayer mods and tournaments. But it is also worth considering default multiplayer settings in general as well.

Key to this format is a standardized set of multiplayer game parameters which creates a homogeneous experience for tournament games. The question then becomes, which settings should be the settings established as the ones all players would use under such a tournament event?

Is normal game speed the best, or do you prefer slower or faster game pace? Are the default settings sufficient or should tweaks be made? For example: Are resource pods fair game or do they tilt the balance too far? Are the aliens sufficiently present or should they be set to rampaging? Are wonders too disruptive, or key to the experience?

Protok St is eager to get feedback in regards to settings standardization for both regular multiplayer and tournament play. What do you think?
