Hey, we're already #42. Which makes us the answer.

I just joined, can I be a senator?

I would like to see an option in the trade/diplomacy screen where you could threaten to declare war if they didn't agree to the deal. They have an "attack" option, how about an "I won't attack" option?

Can you name other civilization's ships/fleets? I answered my own question last night. Yes, you can name other civ's ships and fleets.

The game runs on my laptop, which has the GeForce4 420 Go (only 16Mb video memory), 2Ghz Pentium 4, and 512Mb RAM. The game runs alright speed-wise, it's just missing textures. The biggest issue is that ships don't look very nice, which is why I stopped using my laptop to play. With a GeForce 2 MX400 you would definately be missing out on some of the graphics. You can pick up GeForce 5xxx series cards new for around $30-40, I've even seen 6200s for $50, so I recommend getting a newer video c

The hard part is thinking of names for the alien capital ships Can you name other civilization's ships/fleets? Now that would be cool.

In my current game, I've had two really bad UP council votes not go my way. First was a vote limiting starbase modules to just 4 - for the rest of the game! Then, the next council vote was to limit starbase modules to just 2! That last one was for a limited time, and should be gone in a year or two of game time. I'm hoping when it does, a bug in the code will remove the other as well.

Well, when does theory become fact? I don't believe it ever does. Any theory is up for debate, even gravity. However, no one disputes the validity of that one. The idea with theory is "right until proven wrong". Most experiments go after disproving a theory rather than proving it. Theories become laws when they have proven correct for every ins

>>>Hypothesis IS a theory: they are practically the same thing They are not the same thing to a scientist. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on an observation of a single event or phenomenon. A hypothesis is a rational explanation, but not one that can be proved or disproved due to lack of supporting or contradictory evidence. A th

Gravity is a theory, nothing more. Yet frankly, if you told me it wasn't fact I would laugh at you repeatedly. Gravity is not a theory. It is a real and testable force. Countless experiments have proven that gravity does, in fact, exist. If it was just "a theory, nothing more", then Newton's law of universal gravitation wouldn't be a law. <
