Your idea of putting troops and an outpost on a planet is fine, it would even work alongside a territory system, but without a territory system it justs makes the go anywhere, claim anything without any consequences side of the game even more ...

O.o

The Player is a subspecies of Human, in my experience.

But wouldn't that be abit silly? Surely it makes sense to become an empire off hand, since independents can just be "spammed" with colonists or troops and it's back in your hands

<t> Independents can be from any race; they're aren't limited to the empires in the galaxy.<br/>

AFAIK a previously unoccupied world cannot suddenly have independents on it, but a world controlled by another empire can indeed rebel and become independent in its own right. In time, that world ...

War weariness is a problem because you automatically declare war back on somebody who has declared war on you.<br/>
I mean, this is my war minister. He declares war when I want to. However, everytime some insect on the other end of the galaxy ...

<t> I've never had races colonise in my systems, but I suspect if they think they can bully you into letting them do it they'll go ahead and try it, depending on how reckless and aggressive they are.<br/>

And the other races are pissed you're not trading a very rare resource with them. There ...

A ramscoop would be a nice way for a ship to slowly replenish fuel. Of course if engines are strictly tied to a particular element this may not work. And I guess bases actually refine elements into a form usable by ships but I don't know if ...

For example the insectoids declare war on you! So what, you don't declare war on them, you just keep playing and defend. Problem solved, you are not at war so there won't be any war weariness.<br/>
But if you actively declare war on somebody, then ...

Actually I found out in my game is that you can build them as long as you lower the size to 200. After I reduced the size I could build as many capital ships as I wanted...<br/>

In my current game I found a site that gave me cruiser and capital ship blueprints. This particular find is probably a bit over-powering as I found them relatively early in the game. It would be nice if uber finds like this couldn’t spawn ...

<t> I haven't tested this extensively, but putting energy collectors on your ships so that the Energy Collected exceeds Static Energy Use seems to prevent your ships gobbling up all their fuel while parked. The few ships I used them on, this seemed to the case.<br/>

Thanks a lot for the fast replies, Erik. I'll give that a try. [:)]
