If you happen to have a save with the retrofit taking place, I could probably tell you why it didn't work.

Increase difficulty, increase aggression, increase stars. I think so few stars makes expansion difficult for the AI, when you factor in colonisation range limits and probability of viable planets.<br/>

So I was playing my 2nd game. 8x8 sectory galaxy with 250 stars.<br/>
Started prewarp, all normal settings, but starting civilizations.<br/>
No space monsters, no tech trading. No pirate respawning.<br/>
<br/>
Random race, random government. Max ...

Ah, nevermind. My own fault...

Good to know!

I just wanted to know if a 8x8 / 250 Stars game can in the end take THOUSANDS of hours to finish. I wouldn't want that. The scope would be just ridiculous...

A total noob here, eager to learn!

Started a game prewarp and just no idea if I should start fitting some armor/shield to those freighters and mining ships?

New player here.

Curious to know how the average playtime (actual hours) to complete/win a game varies depending of the star / sector size, if you start from prewarp.

Any guesses?
