Sounds interesting.

But it would need to be a circular universe, where topclusters have short traveltime to the 1 cluster...similar with paras ofc. Then everyone will have the same amount of loweta neighboors.

It will also need continued private galaxies, galattacks will be so much more important.

But I don't think any traveltimes should even approach 24 hours.

edit:

I think overburn would mix well with this feature.. especially if its a percentage based eta reduction.

And traveltime researches could in addition to a fixed travelbonus give a reduced long-distance penalty.. instead of +1 eta per cluster, its every second, then every third and so on.

Reducing traveltimes that way would imo be preferable to putting a maxlimit.

Would make people have to fight in their own vicinity at first, and then, as the round progress you can take on more of the universe.
