I have started a new Draco empire a few months ago, clearly a year after the core of the galaxy got underway.

 

    Pete.......What can I expect in the way of rumor reports way out here on the galactic rim?    Clearly I will never haves as many ships, larger economy, bigger army, etc...   than anyone in the Core.  Will I never get a rumor report given my very rural location in the galaxy?  Or will I get rumor reports that are indexed to others that started a galaxy about the time I did?  What will happen if my success if so vast (as I expect) that I, in fact, get to be bigger than everyone in the CORE.  Will I be compared against them or the others in my age group?

 

What will happen in say 5 years if I start a new Draco empire.  Still no reports or a report showing my status among others with the same birthday??????

That's a good question. How can a younger empire get a nice rumour?

Presumably you will be compared against everyone. Otherwise a rumour saying you have the biggest fleet is going to make you dangerously overconfident. A comparison to others in your age group won't tell you much since you don't know who else is in your age group, nor how many there are. Maybe you were the only empire to start up in that period of time, so being the best of that group means nothing.

I think by the open-ended nature of the game, younger empires are generally going to be weaker than established empires (awesome gameplay aside), and will thus miss out on the rumours.

One option might be for Pete to add lots and lots of categories. No-one can do everything. For example, in Andromeda, I started years after the CORE empires, but I built over 100 wormholes, creating my Hyperspace Highway. While I would not have got a mention for size of fleet, I might have got one for wormholes.

While you might not get a rumour for biggest fleet, maybe you could get one for "most fusion firepower", "largest drone fleet" or "heaviest shielded ships", if such categories existed.
