<r> Yes, I have had this many times, due to my centralization of research labs. Very annoying.<br/>

Furthermore if a mining ship is working on an asteroid, I can't order a build there until it finishes. It's ...

Speaking of Atuuk: does anyone know whether buying tech counts towards the "conducting research" race victory condition?

<t> Is it 1.9.0.7?<br/>
1. The planet's building queue might have some construction before the retrofit?<br/>
2. The spaceport might still be building yet, or retrofitting, that would explain both your issues.<br/>

If non of the above, well.. I'm not good at troubleshooting in text form ...

<t> I left a suggestion in master wishlist for them to nerf it:<br/>
instead of 1 big research bonus, give a very little bonus but for every advanced component.<br/>

When I'm pre-warp, and repair the advanced ship in my home-system, I get ADVANCED LOGISTICS (troop research) from retiring it ...

Select Explorer, ctrl+right click on the base then something like "investigate".

I like when it hurts
My Mortalen Generals and Admirals are definitely agreeing with you Shark [:)]

<r> You should fine-tune the victory conditions then, because with an Old galaxy, the Teekans are at 31% (overall)<br/>
with conditions set to: Economy: 67%; Population: 67%; Territory: 67%; with race-specific also allowed;<br/>
after 14 years, and I don't even know if they're winning, because I ...

<t> Then you must have victory conditions on a level too high, or limited to something like 50% territory OR population, which gives you the luxury to just sit and wait for the perfect opporunity.<br/>

Your last 3 posts also make me assume that your main problem is the lack of confrontation ...

No, it wasn't clear [:)]

I'm glad you agree.

Stimulating: Raise levels of physiological or nervous activity in (the body or any biological system).
Nothing does that like going out of your comfort zone.

Trust me, riding a flying horse is rather stimulating and fun.

I misinterpreted again. I thought you want a deep space base on enemy territory with huge amounts of troops on it for example.
Why would you want troops on the station just above your colony?

<t> Subjective means that, yes.<br/>
<br/>
Icemania is looking for a challenging game. Accepting the challenge means that you accept the fact, that you have to go out of your comfort zone (otherwise it wouldn't be considered a challenge, now would it?!). That starts when you have to do something ...

<r> Humans are nice.. they're pretty diplomatic, yes. I rarely play them, but then aim for a New Systems Commonwealth (from Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda) kind of scenario with them [:)] I don't destroy empires, just play the good guy.<br/>

The third "pirate base" is the Criminal Network. It is a wonder, you can build only one.<br/>
When it is built, you assume control of the colony it has been built on.<br/>
On your colony you can build colony ships and recruit ...

<r> Pirates will still raid unprotected colonies(low military presence), even with Protection Agreement.<br/>

But base attacks... not likely.<br/>
That only happens if the pirates have no interest in keeping the treaty going. Only they don't declare it until the first attack. You need more ...
