Eek... Please don't have this in the protocol.  Else a miss-configured
meta server will tell players how many ships the other people have (This
is particularly bad when there are only 2 players).  

Maybe number of stars,which gives a nice indication of the approximate
size.

How about the current turn number?

I'm not interested in joining a game which is on turn 54.
