<t> You can get Phaser lances at tier 4, and the last upgrade is a tier 7. <br/>
Phaser Lance is the only weapons that does this. All other tier 7 weapons is becomes available at tier 5 - and you often need several paths completed to get to them. <br/>
<br/>
This means that you are able to put ...

<t> The ships will have the exact same stats, but the AI (if you put the ship on automate) will treat different classes differently. <br/>

For example; Escorts will be used to escort freighters and destroyers will be assigned into fleets and used for attacks (if you allow that automation ...

Yea add a super project Planetary Engines which will cost a few hundred thousands of creds, tons of steel and whatnot and burn non-stop consuming thousands of fuel keeping planet in place. So freighters can dock faster.

<r> Wait what? <br/>

I often fire off a shot or two at other constructors to scare them away, but this increases tension, so quite a few wars have broken out over that. Even if war doesn't break out they will often send out escorts to attack my "provoker". <br/>

Is your blaster tech higher than phaser tech? - If it is then haven't this (or similar issues) always been the case?

I.e. a Racial techs beeing replaced by regular tech, when the regular tech is of a higher tech level (but stat-vice inferior)

You could do this trough the character file BUT names and stats will no longer be random.

New to the game and playing around with some mods. For now I'm just going for cosmetic or sound mods because I'm still learning the game. I am experimenting with GEM v2.4 and a couple sound mods at the moment. Are there any must have mods ...

<r> Silvermist is a disaster, so if you disable that option during game setup, you will not encounter them. <br/>

I don't think storage of resources is required, only optional and will make the upgrade process smoother.

I have had very little hands-on time with shadows though, so I could be wrong...

This looks awesome, but..

I got nothing.
This just looks awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

at 19:25. That's kindof epic to get that [Spoiler] event within those few minutes of game time. [:D]
