<t>One thing I've discovered that makes the game a lot easier is to pick my enemies. Whenever I find a race of the same philosophy I immedietely start working on building toward a federation. I recently finished a game with a 150 star galaxy and 5 opponents. Two of them were my philosophy so I ...

<t>Moo3 isn't a bad game. I think we'll see a core of fans develop and grow over time once the nuances of the game are figured out. It's definitely has a learning curve. It's like Tequila or Vodka. Once you aquire a taste.......<br/>
<br/>
I personally prefer SUDG because I like the faster pace but ...

<t>I think I'm getting into the swing of it.<br/>
One of my opponents decided to declare war on me after catching one of my spies in nefarious deeds.<br/>
I started hitting his resource planets fast and furious, destroying those routes that made the most money. Then as soon as they came out of ...

<t>OK. My first game. I've just reached anti-matter. I have 2 colonies plus my original world. Pirates have revealed the enemy systems. I have two opponents. Each one has more systems then I do. One of them is my philosophy, the other is not. I'm cultivating the first to try for federation. <br/>
I ...

<t>Thanks Eric and dragoniv<br/>
<br/>
I wondered how many systems other people were getting from each explorer trip. I seem to be averageing about 2.5 systems per trip before refit. Of course depending on the system and the strength of the guards. <br/>
I think I'll start going for beam weapons ...

<t>I'm not sure how the Freighter capacity works in relation to wastage. <br/>
A star system provides $20 and a freighter can haul $50 but it shows that theres $15 being wasted due to freighter limitations. Wouldn't there be excess space on the freighter?<br/>
<br/>
Am I to surmise from other posts ...

<t>What about artifacts that effect your whole race.<br/>
When should they be used?<br/>
For example, if a ship just found an artifact that gives your race a 25% production bonus, can you use it right away or do you have to drop it off on a world first? <br/>
<br/>
Oh. I finally picked up the retail ...

<t>I played the shareware version last night until my 100 years were up. Too bad since I really hadn't done anything. It's not a very good way to see if you like it or not. If it weren't for the posts here I would think the whole game is nothing but flying a couple of scouts around collecting ...

Question 1 has been answered. Thanks dragoniv.

<t>I decided to download the shareware version to see if I like it enough to get the retail. <br/>
<br/>
A couple of questions I have.<br/>
<br/>
1. I sent my scout to another system. It fought the guardian. Now it won't go anywhere. It refuses to move and the clock doesn't tick. The game is not ...

<t>I had the same problem with the shareware version. The ship wouldn't move. I'll bring it up in another post.<br/>

startrekdork, <br/>
I see you are a space 4x fan. I've played all those as well.<br/>
Also Acendency, Outreach, the original RFTS, Imperium Galactica etc. I try to collect them ...
