<t> I'll keep that in mind, last time I really played, bonus research sites were not not a bonus per type of research, but an overall bonus, so I could get away with having a few general purpose research stations around a black hole and not worry about it since the research provided was so far above ...

I've got just about everything in the automation options set to either manual or suggest, but it's still autobuilding research stations on it's own. Is there an option somewhere to manually control this that I'm missing, as I don't remember it doing this when I played last a year or so ago.

How does eliminating 2 pirate bases and having one surrender make my reputation 'dubious'? Last I checked, killing pirates was supposed to help your reputation, not make it worse. Shenanigans, I say!

<t> problem is, the home system is already well explored, and I show a demand for the gasses from the planet not showing.

<t> Just started a game with the beta patch. I tend to queue up a few initial mining areas and a colony or so before I let the automation mostly take over, and when I opened the expansion planner, the 'resource locations by empire priority screen was empty. After a few minutes of play, the list ...

In the expansion planner, if i change the list to "resource targets by your empire priority" The list comes up blank. Also, the demand for every resource is 0. "Resource targets by galaxy priority" and "potential colonies" still seem to work just fine though.

<t> Was playing as Quameno for mine, and I'm pretty sure I had the resources for my normal research station, as I had been building them manually with no trouble.&nbsp; Perhaps the automation has no way to tell a new design is a research station, and so defaults to the starting ones when it ...

<t> I've got my construction ships automated still, as so far they seem to be rather intelligent in their decisions, and the ability to cue up projects in the expansion manager makes them quite useful on their own. However, I had a construction ship decide to build a research station near a black ...
