When did I imply it was no blind exploration? 

There are gates that have to be entered or activated, so there is still blind exploration to be done.
[/quote]No problem with there being areas to explore. Variety is important.
And well, you pretty much based this after a game we should not mention so there being an interstellar council was very much implied.
No problem if it doesn't mean everybody is friends or that the regulations are more lax than in the UN in comparison.
That'd be actually better because then it gives more freedom.
But if this is an RP where we explore and establish first contact with each other then it's little if any different from the slew of others.
That and my civ idea can't even really function without that.
