pfft..i suggested expoing the whole round 
..no one listened 
we could've qualified hehe
EDIT: just read zidi's post...making them longer and only 2 heats, would imo take the competition and skill away, it'll end up being all about staying active, motivated, keeping interest
i think the stages were fine, i would suggest possibly starting with more than 1 planet, so there's a jump start on attacking, as there'll be more resources generated for fleets
Well if you started on 2 planets which could be possible in the HS then it would work....means a lot more co-ordination to get planets filled appropriately and then exploring starting a little later etc. but then is it possible to take home planets from people or not? i dunno just to me sounds a little hard to organise....they could simple increase starting resources/cash although i have no idea what it was as i didnt play the last one.
the starting resources were preety decent, and i think we got like a couple of expos too ..if i can recall properly
i dont know if it would help, i'm just tryina suggest a way to get the conflict started early, and limit the expo phase..
Playing around networth restrictions is part of the game though. Like bankers taking from their own attackers even. Or having a small player so the HUGE ones with ginormous fleets dont keep clearing them. Having attackers with different nw's etc is part of the game. Remove p-mode and v-mode though obviously...
well lemmings were missing me in the 2nd heat
clearly why they didnt go through

Right... let's see...
TEAM NUMBERS
To mirror what a lot of others have said so far, I think teams of 8 is about right. Imo, its just the right number to keep things balanced within a family. Having too little members will slightly take away the emphasis on leadership, organisation and teamwork, which is what IC is all about!
STRUCTURE
Can't really comment too much on the number of heats/number of teams per heat/number of rounds etc until I get the team applications in and actually see how many people want to play. It's one thing getting people to sign a petition thing saying they're interested and another thing actually getting those people to play.
RANDOM TEAMS
I think keeping the limit of 2 random teams is about right. It is important to remember that the competition is all about pitting the best teams against each other. Having teams where members potentially haven't played with each other before doesn't really fit with this.
NETWORTH RESTRICTIONS
Triqster said that playing around the nw restrictions is part of the game and I agree. Vmode and pmode will definitely be removed though like last time.
MAP AND FAM POSITIONS
To achieve the advanced maps you've been talking about here will be pretty difficult with and without an active Stefan. With the last ICC, we had a set distance between each HS - i think it was 4 or 5 systems with the earlier heats and about 10 for the final and then teams were allocated their positions in numeric order. To make it any bigger than that would require a larger map and I think the general opinion is that a bigger map isn't really desired. Again, planning around the position of your HS is one of the major strategic "features" of this game and takes skill and experience.
WHEN? WHEN? WHEN?
This is input I want from you... when would be the best time to hold it and why? Obviously we can't please everyone and its pretty much impossible to satisfy everyone's individual requirements, but it would be useful to know the general consensus.

spot on.
As for When.
I think we all can agree that the sooner the better.
Families are forming, and people are getting excited about it. I would say begin the first heat around about 7th June.
Adter summer Arsy.. definatly. as for team placements, 10 ticks apart isnt that much, if the map is 40x40 figure out the maximum you can set, and set that then...
after summer is too late man..
after summer is like Sept!
it is May right now =\
diplomat is not a verb triq 
as for placements, maybe not make a random map but bring back the donut shaped one or so 
WHEN ?
After the summer obviously, right now is end of most people's schools, and working people take vacations etc. Also it will need some time organizing and setting up the shabang.
Lastly summer months jun/jul are months with a generally very low IC activity, known as a fact by alot of leaders around in the different galaxies.
Therefore scheduling it in the middle of august seems like a reasonable start. Gives some time for preparation, both for teams and mods. Gives people some vacation during the summer, without loosing out on IC's major event and it gives us most people being active, seeing as aug/sep are very high activity rate months IC-wise, with people getting back to schools/workplaces.
X(
not middle of august
end of august.
I'd come out of retirement for this 
That is if anyone wants to draft this old dog
yep ICC rocks
Maybe we can play together again Zidi and Noir
I doubt that very much Tico. Zidi is retired and Noir is taken
u gna be active talic?
looks like i will have to find a fam =P
when is talic ever active.
run another sd round and start after that.
if I join I will be
Haven't bothered for over a year now tho, and still figuring out if I will be for ICC
Talic is gay X(
in an online text-based community, that may be true, but outside that... Sorry to disappoint you nolman
