I like the tax system of the game, but the population growth is quite a ridiculous phenomenon. During the time frame of the game, which is say 10 years, the population of humans rises from 10bn to 500bn. This is a factor of 50! This translates to the yearly population growth of 50^(1/10) = 1.5. In other words, every couple, no matter how old or young, has got to have at least one child every year. So during the course of 10 years every couple would have 10 kids, even those who were 5 years ol

I think what needs to be done is simply increase the defence rating considerably. No ship should be able to take out another one of the same class with a single shot. This is just ridiculous. As for the fleet advantage I would say there needs to be some multiplicative bonus for using the fleets, maybe determined using the logistics level as someone has already suggested.

Oh that's too bad. I'd love to see the game playable on Linux (I use Linux only - gave up Windows long ago and don't want to dual boot because of ideological reasons hehe, and I don't want to pay for Windows). Anyway, if you happen to try again and it works, let us know!
