I like to stockpile my resources as best I can.

I never have enough starports to rush-buy a 100 ships per turn.

Maybe I should just put one on each world just for the hell of generating those 100's of ships per turn.

I like to keep every race alive for as long as possible.

So whenever the Drath start going a bit out of line with their manipulations. I am there to be their antagonist. So I funnel cash to the races who are at war, in order to sign peace treaties.

So technically, I am the Galactic UN.

And I also like to (during the colony rush) nowadays, sell colony ships to the Minors. I also do this if my population gets to big. If my population gets to large during a war with another race (which is very, very late game, usually turn 1000 just to be punctual), I will send colony ships to that planet/planets, and I will then sell the colonizers to the race that I am at war with. I'll of course have a few armed ships nearby, to "dispatch" the insolent farmers that think I'm a Dick With Ears. Make an example of them. That'll teach 'em.

It's sortof ironic to do so. It's like selling slaves to other races.

I think I should try that one day. Having a slave capital. I'll put ten farms on a class 26+ planet, along with 3 fertility clinics, coupled with the Super Breeder ability, the rest stock markets. Then when the masses get unhappy (the way all slaves do), I'll sell them to the highest bidder. Of course I will use the switch races cheat (ctrl+shift+W) and send that colonizer to that other races planet, so that it will know what to do with it. Because their too damned stupid to figure out what they're supposed to do on their own.

If anyone thinks that I'm a Megalomaniac............

Please respond.

Till then...........

LET'S RAGE!!!!!

I upgrade my surveyors after the anomalies start to wind down.   Then I replace them with cheapo 25bc survey ships on Tiny hulls  (I get the Galactic Guide Book).   They make cheap sensor ships anyway.  Even my PQ3 planets can crank out one of those in 2 turns.

First, I build my surveyors on small hulls early on, so they've got some hit points on them.   If they find a Starship Graveyard, it's a no-brainer:  I upgrade it to a fighting ship.   Otherwise, it'll probably wind up a constructor or a trader, just because it's already located in some remote corner of the galaxy already.   My flagship almost surely found a Starship Graveyard at some point, so it's bound to be upgraded to some kind of powerful Medium Hull ship.  It's lived up to its name on more than one occasion.

nope, not the case

there isn't even an additional anomalies.xml in TA directories, so TA just use DA anomalies.xml

which in turn is just the same as DL anomalies except for lessened amounts of BC when money is involved
