Hi Does anyone know how to get a balanced game where the AI can 'bring it on' into the later stages of the game? I find the AI always flops down and dies even before i have researched half the techs! Well it is either that or the AI squashes me like a bug. Is there something inbetween getting squashed like a bug or being so powerful that i loose interest?
You should spend the time to learn how to design your own ships. It is a very big part of the fun of the game. All the ships i first designed were crap too. but if you go to your saved game directory in 'my documents' and look in the 'ships' folder, you can delete them so they do not keep reapearing like a bad smell with every new game!
SPECIALISE! (large planets)_never mix resource structures. A planet produces either income or science but never both. never build one off projects on large planets unless they boost that planets specialised resource. small planets are normally best for one off projects.
