<br/>
Are there any mods about that add or change galaxy map layouts?<br/>

<t> cant retrofit a house my tits! i live in a house that was once a shed! my childhood home was built as weatherboard and then turned into a brick house!<br/>
<br/>

<t> wow, that is really cool.<br/>
<br/>
like reading this thread I was kinda depressed to see that the game had such a killer bug but to see that it was actually just a depression killing your private sector... awesome!<br/>
<br/>
Although reading this thread is seems that the game would work ...

this game is great in that you can get larger and larger scale as you go without being held back by the little details.

manually duplicating then removing every single star-base atleast 3 times in one game is gonna hold you back.

<t> huh, i always assumed the private sector would retrofit its own stuff. kinds dumb for them not to after all.<br/>

<br/>
Another idea ...

<t> do multiple construction yards on construction ships speed up station building?<br/>
<br/>
I am currently building large space stations around my empire in gas clouds and other such to act as outposts and staging grounds. As they are large I want to do it as quickly as possible so I was ...
