Since DA. So like at least a year.



Only if you turn of anomalies altogether.

I have a counter-question, though. Why, if you like them on at the beginning, do you want them to not keep spawning? I myself rather enjoy it.

It started either in 1.8 or 1.7. Note that you can't turn anomalies off completely, just set them to 'rare'.

I like the re-spawning anomalies up until about halfway through a game. At that point the bonuses are minimal by relative value, and its just one more pop-up I have to click away.

Sentient species taste better...

Great....thanks. I never looked, because before the advent of respawning, I always want to see what I get getting in the initial stages of the game. Later on though, I definitely want the pop-ups off.

Only thing about the respawning anomolies in DA is the AI not building any other survey ships. The game I just finished, after the first round of wars I was the only one with my flagship left. He just spent the rest of the game going around collecting all the ones that spawned with no competition. The may have fixed that in TA, hadn't really looked yet.

I usually build 2-3 few cheap anomaly chasers early-game in TA. Just stick 'em on auto and let the bonuses roll in. Those 1000-BC goodie-huts are just too good to ignore, and any extra cash is almost necessary given how harsh the early game economic picture in TA has become. Then, I upgrade them to fast missile boats or something for shipping-line raids later. When I saw the first respawn I was like "Wow... there's actually a *reason* to keep the survey module on the design, and a reason *not* to trade-away level-1 sensors early." (Assuming, of course, that the AI will make use of the thing in new ship designs.)
