I've read a lot of this thread - I assume that the thing to do is not install the mod at all and wait?

<r> I'm using the UI mod that Spidey mentioned here: <br/> <br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Spidey<br/> <br/> Sure, not a problem. <br/> <br/> I'm pretty sure I started from <LINK link="http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3226625"><s>[link=http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=322662...

I couldn't find any mods except the Star Trek.

So... anybody had this happen to them?

How do you keep your initial secret pirate base intact though? The AI keeps destroying mine. I have to constantly keep a presence with ships in orbit and do raids in order to maintain control and then rebuild the base over and over as they destroy it.

I'm going to watch your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

Great thread. Is it normal for the AI to repeatedly destroy your secret (not so secret) base over and over? I'm about 8 years into the game (game time). What exactly is the "Criminal Network"?

I had to look it up - Raptr is an app that tracks gaming stats (for the others who might not know, like me!).

I like your computer name .

<t> I think it will be a few days before I'm able to post attachments or links. Suffice to say, this has happened twice - I just started a new game and it behaved normally. I will be able to post links soon, and if it happens again I will upload the image to the forums. <br/> <br/> I had just assume...

What does that mean? I can't seem to make it "normal".

Just wanted to say thanks for making this thread. Helped me answer a few questions as well.

I found the problem. Custom Pirate Game with my particular galaxy setup just doesn't work, apparently.

Loading Pirate game in age of shadows went off in one minute flat. Any suggestions on a custom pirate game or is it broke.

<t> Game launch takes one minute. Is this normal?<br/> Loading a saved game takes about 15 seconds. (this is fine)<br/> A new game (250 stars, 10 empires, 15x15 map) takes upwards of 10 minutes.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Uncle Lumpy<br/> <br/> With that size of a galaxy, and so few stars, I can see how logistics can be a bit of a problem.

One more thing I just noticed! EACH asteroid in the field can yield a different resource! Lots of mining stations coming soon

<r> I'm 3/4 of the way through this campaign - and I am ashamed (should I be?) to say this is tough! I greatly respect this game. The logistics aspect of this game is what makes it difficult for me. <br/> <br/> Of course I ignored the thread referring to new players <E>;-)</E> and went with this for...

You guys are going to laugh - but I just opened up the Expansion Planner for the first time and figured out how to use it - gods... makes things so much easier. Now I know why I'm out of resources and where to get more
