No matter which race I play, the private sector is always rolling in cash. I've never even seen them come close to running out of money.

Really? No one else picked Teekans? I feel so alone.

Teekans.

The extra cash and increased mining is just too good...

Also, it's so satisfying to rule the galaxy as the Teekans. It's like if Jawas ruled the galaxy, it's so ridiculous that it's awesome.

<t> Getting Utopia made me wonder about the special ruins for the Shakturi.<br/>
<br/>
I've explored 100% of the galaxy, but I haven't found the ruins anywhere... I'd like to get the way of darkness government type, and I remember finding the ruins in one game before the Shakturi actually showed ...

Well, I didn't lose, it's mine now .

Alright cool. Utopia will be mine then, thanks .

I've been wondering... if I invade Utopia, will the Shakturi still show up? Do the events still happen even if the Ancient Guardians aren't around to warn me/ally with me?

<t> So... I created a Teekan empire that controls about half the galaxy. For some reason the AI took it upon itself to start invading and capturing planets that I'm not at war with. I tried to find the reason for it in the treaties, but I can't figure it out.<br/>
<br/>
Why do my forces keep ...

NewZodiac, can you provide more information? I'm not sure what the exact strigger is for the Eruktah Refugee Beacon but I think it's something along the lines of having everything at tech level 5 all the way a tech line (e.g. high tech). You ...

<t> As the title says, the Shakturi aren't showing up. Infact, they haven't been showing up in my last 3 game sessions. I was wondering if there is a specific year they show up, or something? I read that some people think they won't show up if you get past a certain level of tech. I tech up really ...

<r> Alright. I actually made a new game and increased the research time. It really helped, I haven't been in the red all game. Not sure why it helped, but it did <E>:)</E><br/>

<t> Money isn't the problem. I can usually stay out of the red for my money, but my cashflow is always red.<br/>
<br/>
I've lowered the tax to 15%, any higher and the colony's happiness goes down. Cashflow is still in the red. Building more ships and more stations would make it worse. Do I really ...

<t> This is constantly in the red during the start of my games. In order to keep up with my technology, and the growth of other empires, my cashflow gets worse and worse.<br/>
<br/>
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to increase cashflow besides making colonies and having an absurd amount ...

Hi NewZodiac,<br/>
<br/>
As long as you have the original Distant Worlds storyline turned on, these ancient government types can be discovered in two specific locations. Exploring those locations triggers the discovery. Once you find ...

<t> Hey guys. I was wondering how exactly you get this form of government? I managed to get Way of the Ancients (still not sure how...) for humans.<br/>
<br/>
Which also gave me a few questions: Can all the races use Way of the Ancients/Darkness, or is it just for a few? How do you unlock these ...

I edited the save game name into the first post.
