<t> Heya guys,<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Jus wanted to add my 2 pennys worth, i recently had my 1st encounter with the Shakturi while playing with the Zenox on a technocracy government, dont ask me the galaxy settings, think it were set to large. But anyway, the point is iv playing a while and not seen ...

Ahem.... :S

Ignore that last post, iv fixed it, me being bloody stupid!

<r> Me again <E>:D</E><br/>
<br/>
Iv jus checked if the races.txt file is where it should be. Iv actually jus re-read woodmans original post, saying where the files need to be. I had the races.txt file in the actual ship images file along with the about.png and about.txt files. Could that be the ...

Ahhh ok that makes sense
&nbsp;
Will try that once im home... cheers guys

<r> I am using ROTS and i think i have the race.txt file in the diverse worlds file. Infact im pretty sure it is. It definitely isnt automatic, for example i start a game with the gizureans and end up with the sluken shipsets. It seems like it is given me a shipset for that species, e.g insect types ...

<t> I love this mod, along with Igards Star Trek mods of course. I jus dont know how to line up the shipsets with the race they relate too. Its a tad annoying but i have my way around it by redesigning all the ship and saving them. I have IM'd Woodman but it seems he is away at the moment. <br ...

So the value of the zentabia will actually mitigate the cost of having a colony with low quality? Will have to experiment with that when i get home. Wasnt sure how it would work so thought id ask, thanks all.

<r> So i got a good game going. Got my hands on a nice planet with loros fruit and immediately set about colonising it and building a large spaceport, traded it with ally's and rubbed in the faces of the unfavourable empires of course <E>:D</E> <br/>
<br/>
Thats all fine and everything but i now ...

Haha thanks... well it seems a change of strategy is in order then

Yes, you can have it. But then again your question is the crux of the matter, most of us asked it and also asked for a feature on this. Atm we cannot make sure this happens properly.<br/>
A while back I had a workaround that can help with this ...

<t> Further more tony, I have used monitoring stations for offensive purposes. For instance, i got into an early war with an empire close by in my recent game and to find out what kind of fleet/troops he had defensively i built a few monitoring stations (2) close to some colonies i intended to hit ...

Welcome to the forum, James1234. One clarification: there are only a number of systems that have energy requirements and construction yards are not among them so you can build to your heart desire on an underpowered station, supplies are indeed ...

OK thanks cookie, i will bare all that in mind then

<t> Hello there, jus wanted to introduce myself and ask a few of my own questions. I have found this forum and its community helpful in that it has greatly benefited my ability to play the game. Also it has took me some time to find a game of this quality, most are TBS that have this kind of scale ...
