A couple of players in the chat were talking about how we bought out AI's (dropped players) first out of courtesy, so we decide to try the option, part out of wanting to enforce that and part out of just wanting to see how it would effect the game.
Problem is, there were no AI players at the time (at start till about the end of the game). So players could only buy offensively, and get defensive stock by buying out others who bought their stock.

This game could really improve if they just add a few more things (tactical combat, lan/hotseat play, internal politics options, carrier units.) but hopefully they'll be reco
