I do think the ship design screen is a little clunky and hard to use, but they are working on that.<br/>

The exploration pathfinding could be better, but that kind of thing is surprisingly hard to code. I think it ...

I like the music the game comes with.&nbsp; Barring that I would probably go with Radiohead for spacey sounding music.&nbsp; Anything from OK Computer on has some good futuristic sounding tracks IMO.

While not just include the ship type in parentheses after the ship name? Example: WryPrincess (Cruiser). There looks to be enough room for that and even if it truncates in some cases, there should still be enough information there to tell ...

So at 50% quality you get no income?&nbsp; Because if that si the case you didn't describe the formula correctly.

I have been very happy with all of my Matrix games purchases, which is not something I can say for many other places.

<t> I wish I could go back in time and kill who ever it was first introduced tech trading to PC games.&nbsp; It is a detriment in every game I have ever played with it, and several games have after the fact added in toggles to remove it.&nbsp; The AI can never use at as well as a player and it ...

Yeah area weapons are unusable and a detriment to the game as currently implemented.

<t> I am not tyring to pile on, but I am very confused how what he is asking for differs from the current implementation?&nbsp; He seems to be mainly objecting to the painting of that "in-between" space with color which YOU CAN TURN OFF with a filter.&nbsp; <br/>

He does not appear to have ...

<t> The prices are just completely out of proportion with the actual economy in the game.&nbsp; Frankly I am surprised many of the bases have any value at all.&nbsp; Their value is extremely marginal.&nbsp; Meanwhiel the teachs are WAY WAY WAY too cheap (both to research and purchase considering ...

You sure you can only build one? I'm pretty sure i've built both...

Only 1 troop modifier per planet I think.

balto-&nbsp; I think the piece you are missing here is that the reactors don't always run at 100%.&nbsp; They run on an "as needed" basis.&nbsp; They are not just off/on.

In all my games so far they have attacked me soon after the refugees arrive for reasons that are unclear.

I still don't understand why (other than role-playing reasons) you would ever have anything other than assimilate/assimilate?&nbsp; Can someone enlighten me.

2nd ACR is wrong.&nbsp; Resupply Ship Technology is down in the construction area.&nbsp; Carrier Ship Technology is with "tactical fighter" or whatever the 3rd fighter tech is.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is no size limit.

1. I thought that you would be able to colonioze worlds that were in another empire's area of control IF you were at war with that empire. I've had two games now that I have had to go to war and eliminate an empire just to colonize one of its planets. It would ...

<t> I don't seem to have these problems. I am playing on default settings for everything. Each game I get at least 20 colonies by colonizing, sometimes up to 40 or 50. That is without any invading. How many colonies do you want to have hundreds?<br/>

I do think the settings should give you ...

I saw them in my current game with 1 base surrounded by 4 defense installations and a pretty big fleet.&nbsp; I had to send in two fleets to kill it and I still lost a few carriers.&nbsp; About 1600 firepower.

<t> I almost never have explorers destroyed and I don't micromanage them? Am I putting more engines on than other people or what? I usually have 10-20 and maybe 1 will be destroyed outside of war all game.<br/>

I also cannot imagine having less than 2 reactors on a ship until you have much ...
