GalCiv, I think, calls these minor races. They aren't "full" AI opponents. But maybe these are the "full" opponents. I don't know if these guys are minor races or what.

RE: Is this a new feature?

<t> My automated ships have always engaged pirate ships when they attack something in my empire. This was in 1.02 as well as now in 1.03 beta.<br/>
<br/>
A bit off-topic maybe but the main problem for me was that un-automated ships did not engage enemies in range unless they were being shot at or ...

RE: Home World Type

The Race file setting appears to decide type of planet the race can colonize without needing tech. So the races with "Continental" setting has to rely on tech alone or integrating other races who can colonize other planet types.

The type of planet you start on depends on the "Home System" setting, which affect the whole system as well. I guess the Quick Start choices (apart from "random") have a fixed setting for this.<br ...

RE: What do you automate?

<t> I currently automate colonization and ship/base building and manual control on the rest. I also control fleet setup and designs. Sometimes I spam some shipyards with ship orders, send the odd colony ship to an interesting planet or build a resort base at some location. Overall I'm satisfied with ...

RE: 2 Economic Imbalances. Problems that Needs Fixing. Save the Economy.

Currently there's only supply/demand shown and I'm really missing the production/consumption(fulfilled demand) part.

I agree... display only the vector of selected unit/fleet. That would be for enemy/neutral/allied units as well. When I select it, I see it's vector (direction/velocity) as a line extending in the direction of travel.<br/>

RE: stumped?

You have to make a new design (from scratch or by using "copy as new") or upgrade an existing design (obsoleting it) and then editing the new design you get. Upgrade won't work unless you have researched at least one better component than the ones used in the old design.
