Also, why are these random empires able to make monotoring and mining stations in my territory without my permission?

The Anticans made a monitoring station right there ^

Yes... I didn't give them permission.

Are you sure it wasn't there BEFORE you claimed the system? Or maybe they discovered it and took it over. Just spit balling here....GP

I have mining stations in systems owned by another race. I put them there before the other race built a colony there. It was not my territory at the time....GP

Well the Andorians didn't seize any of my ships, we've had good relations with them from the start.

In all of the screenshots I provided, including the one with the Anticans, I was playing the UFP Scenario map.

No, I watched as they created monitoring and mining stations in a number of places, this happened with the remans among others too. Annoyed, I destroyed their mining stations at the cost of my reputation.

Where do I check to see if the Andorians are using my photos for some reason?

OK. Can you upload a save some place where I or a team member can look at it? Or PM the save to me. I will have time tonight after work or tommorow morning to take a look....GP

Absolutely, I'll upload one on mediafire and give it to you

Do they have Mining rights?
That could explain it.
You may want to delete and download and reinstall....GP

Knickers;

I've just looked at both the Andorian ship family (#1) and inside the Andorian race file:

'Designs picture family index: index of default ships pictures used for this race from ship pictures contained in Images\units\ships\ folder or Customization\YourTheme\shipImages\ folder
DesignsPictureFamilyIndex ;1

This tells me either you have a corrupted Andorian Race file, or the DesignPictureFamilyIndex number has been changed to 0 (which is the design number
for the Federation ships.

There are two solutions:

1. Replace the Andorian race file with a fresh file (Best option - a fresh file is attached).

2. Open your Andorian race file and make certain your "DesignsPictureFamilyIndex" number is 1

Also, make certain your ship families are in the correct order (the mod is uploaded with everything
in the correct place). The Federation ship family is #0, the Andorian ship family is #1

As I see it, it doesn't matter which playstyle you are using. Whether the UFP scenario, or a
custom game or as pirates it doesn't matter (Even as Pirates, the Andorians would use the pirate
shipset #25).

It doesn't seem to be the fault of the file, the index that the andorians are given is 1.

However, there is something else you should know, and that is that the Andorians that are using the FED pics from this default UFP map are not the original Andorian Empire, the Andorian Empire split in half and the one that is using federation pictures is the new Andorian Empire, while the old one still exists. AND, The old one uses the normal Andorian ship pictures.

Basically: There are two andorian empires, one is normal, and the other is using federation ship pictures.

LOL! Mixing Universes a bit here aren't we? I am playing the Default UFP Map:

LOL...No Knickers, an Easter Egg I planted. I love Battlestar Galactica and because Edward Olmos
(Admiral Adama) personally commented on and complimented Distant Worlds Universe during a review on Rock, Paper, Shotgun,
I just had to insert one of my my favorite characters from the show into the mod.

She's going to be a helluva Governor of Tellar Prime for you!

As I recall, this can be a possibility. Especially if when the empire splits, the new Homeworld of
the split empire has a majority of that species. Didn't recall that at first. So if the Ferengi Empire
splits and, let's say the new, split-away empire chooses a Ferengi owned/occupied/conquered continental
planet with a majority Human (Federation) population as its homeworld, then you will see that majority
races' ship designs. That is a Distant Worlds hard-coded game dynamic not mod specific. I believe it is
the logic pathing used in part similarly to what happens when you board and capture another race's ship.

I looked at the save file and was getting closer to saying something about the new empires homeworld. Just didn't get that far. But makes sense. Will take a second look later. I have a WITPAE 3x3 turn to do and setup for another PBEM, plus do my taxes, or finish them.

Haha yeah I thought that was a funny easter egg

Wow that's really cool, I didn't know that. Maybe they gave a ship to the ferengi too, I have a screenshot that the ferengi posses a ship that looks like a Galaxy Class Federation Starship.

Yeah I remember looking at one of their planets, and it looked distinctly federation-populated.
