any ship can do this, bombing a planet damages its quality.

make a design with lots of nukes 15 plus to combat population growth of a home world. once the planet population is gone the planet will not be able to be invaded you will have to use a colonizing ship.

really you wait years to build a station interesting, happiness does not help population growth other than migrants?

You'd have to use a find/replace program to insert a ImageScaling ;Scaled 0.8 line to the start of every DesignTemplate txt file.

Modding manual, page 32.

the option to scale the image is in the design screen, you can set the ratio to your liking.

it is very unethical to abandon a game when half way though making it, just to turn around and make a new game with the money you stole.

i have filed a complaint with the BBB against his company, i will never buy another of his products.

yes there is a limit of 1 per planet, if its a colonized planet you don't need a mining stations there. you should only build research stations on planets with a research bonus.

<t> throwing money at research does speed it up for a few reason's the scientist can use it to do mass experiments to find the fastest way to achieve the goal, even if the $ just goes to hiring 2x the amount of researcher's more can be done at a time then. imo the crash projects should have a % of a ...

is it intentional that you can select the mecanoids and shakturi as opponents in game setup?
