<t> I think the space combat is significantly better than a number of the space 4X games I've played. That being said, I definitely wish I had more control over certain aspects of combat. For example, using torpedo ships, I find it extremely difficult to tell those ships to warp in at maximum range ...

Actually corwin90 if anybody is going to get sent off here it is you since your comment adds absolutely nothing but snark to the thread. It certainly does not add anything to the discussion.<br/>

Did you actually bother to read the thread? <br/>

I wanna see you defend (or attack [;)] for that matter) two systems at once with your mega-ship...<br/>

<t> I don't know if I want pirates to have real diplomacy. Instead of asking for money each month, what if the pirates asked for one of the following instead:<br/>
<br/>
1. Give me all your research on <X> technology<br/>
2. Give me colony <Y><br/>
3. Your last Cruiser looks really interesting ...

How many Ion Cannons does the AI typically place on ships and stations defending planets?

I hadn't even considered that Continental worlds are less common than Volcanic/Ice/Desert/Ocean. That plus the quality difference is very significant info. Thanks, much!

<t> I'm glad I saw this thread. I had been telling my first constructor to go refuel. Then, I was searching for a different constructor to come repair the station. Sometimes, I wouldn't have one free and would then "forget" about this incomplete station for a few years. From now on, I'll do what you ...

<t> I think it would be great if certain numbers such as the space control bonus were user configurable. In addition, I would like to see it divided into two numbers, offensive and defensive as described above. Then, players could adjust the numbers as they see fit and in accordance with their play ...

Thank you very much for this info. To be honest, I hadn't been using the Galaxy Map at all. Thanks much for the info on this incredibly useful tool!

There are some absolutely fantastic YouTube videos that give a great intro to the game. I'll post links later if someone doesn't beat me to it.

<t> The Expansion Planner shows a column 'Distance'. I assume this is distance from your home world. Is there any way to change the starting point from your home world to some other colony?<br/>

If I understand correctly, in simplest terms, my logistics problems are a result of not enough of ...

This update is awesome. I really appreciate the modding features.

New player here. Just stopped by to say the pictures of the races look AWESOME. Thank you for creating this mod.

<--- pffft...1B in 10 years? I mock your reproductive skills.

LOL!

<t> This is some great info I hadn't realized before. I was thinking the races starting on tier 2 (ocean/desert) and tier 3 (ice / volcanic) should have a significant tech advantage because they could gain access to more world types early in the tech tree. But if the tier 2 and tier 3 world types ...

I think 'CTRL' is used to select/deselect individual elements whereas 'SHIFT' is used to select ranges of elements.

<t> Thank you for the posts, everyone! I appreciate the responses. With only a couple of wins, I still have a ton to learn!<br/>

In my most recent game, I left the income tax rate on my home world at zero percent until my population was nearly maxed out. Before going negative on money, I ...

It seems like the auto-upgrade of my Medium Spaceport on Earth once blew away all my science labs...

<t> I found a way to get the luxury resource to my planet of choice:<br/>
<br/>
1. Built a military ship with cargo and luxury extractor.<br/>
2. Send the military ship to mine the planet with the Zentabia.<br/>
3. Send the military ship loaded with the Zentabia to your planet of choice.<br/>
