A noob question: what does corruption actually do to your colonies?

<t> I second this. Option to turn off independents would be nice. I like independents yes, but I think it would prove an interesting challenge to a game, since you don't have that advantage to get developed colonies, but more rely on actual colonization. Expanding in the galaxy would definitely be ...

<t> I don't think its a bug, but a feature. Are those freighters have grey circles around them or do they have colored indicating they are indeed pirate freighters. If they are, then that means the pirate freighters have been "identified" and military forces will automatically shoot them down.<br ...

<t> From time to time I'll check on my freighters and see what they are transporting, and then I realize that some of them grab a very tiny amount of resources from the mining stations to bring back to planet. For example, a mining station will have like 8000 steel, 6000 lead, and 6000 gold sitting ...

<t> I don't think that patch fix really balanced it. I'm using latest patch, yet my first colony still will be maxed out around the time I reach warp field precursors. Bear in mind I play with very expensive tech costs though. I do notice however it does not work as well on races that have lower ...

Do you have enough reactor power. I believe assault pods use energy, so if your short on energy that may be why they are not filling all the way up.

OMG, I'm so happy this bug is fixed! Cant wait for the official release. Thank you!

<t> In all my prewarp games, I like to set taxes on my starting planet to 0% taxes so that the population grows super fast, and then when its maxed out, I'll tax them. My GDP is far ahead of all of the other AI empires as they don't use this "trick" and I end up having large military which I then ...

I've had this issue too. Eventually my whole home system was effected by this bug. Had to quit the game after that . This game is unplayable for me until this bug is fixed.

You guys forgot to update the Galacticpedia with the current changes.

Any way I can change the background of the Main Menu to Shadows. I loved the Shadows background, and want to have it replace the current background.
