Sometimes I even think if its worthy to colonize Mars, that is such a shitty planet. You don't colonize Mars? It is generally the first thing i do. Fill it with research techs, and save Earth for Eco/Manu buildings. Works well for me anyway....

The amount of VR building's one needs to accomodate a high pop of say 19b or more is counter productive. You will make more money with 1 farm (stage 3) and 1 vr centre. Your pop will be about 13b for a non-capital planet, with about a 75-80% morale rate depending on tax level. You will make more money here with all the extra Stock Exchanges than with 20B pop and 4 or 5 VR buildings. The exceptions are of course if you have a morale bonus on a planet. If so add a Food Centre, s

I just pretend its an immense, frame-shaped nebula Heh, that might not be a bad idea. Have large nebulae (not THIS size, but, say, 1/2 a parsec) that sensors are ineffective in. Good place to run to if pursued, or even hide a nice big battlefleet ; on the flip side, freighters going through it often get ambushed by pirates. Great idea! But the hard part would be having the AI taking advantage of it. It would be too much cheese if the AI wasn't

Anyways, heh, maybe before randomly experimenting on buttons you might save, just in case. Yep. A quick CTRL + S, before any "unknowns" has saved me from more than a few tight spots, and i have my autosave set to every turn. It doesn't take any time to save at all really and saves your ass if you get lots of CTD's. I have seen a similar bug once, in the original build. I was tech trading with the Yor and as soon as i selected my tech to put on t

For example, a doom ray (22 points) and a laser (6 points) hits my frigate with 10 points of shield defense. The doom ray would do only half damage (11 points) but would knock out the shield for that round and doing 1 hp to the hull, allowing the laser to do the full 6 points to the hull hp's. I like this. This solution seems to overcome the problem without too many sideffects. It seems to me this might be moddable as a trial run? <a href="http:

To add insult to injury, after spending the extra cash on the Gold Edition, it finally came in the mail the other day (I'm in Australia) and it wasn't even packaged securely. There was no bubble wrap to protect the box, and as a result it is torn and damaged. And on top Stardock will not pay to have the item sent back to them. It is at my cost they say! They will replace the item itself but i foot the postage bill. They even go so far as to say because i live in Australia i sh

Wow! I have been a member for some time now, after a gracious invite from Alex, but i had no idea that we had such a great community as this. Looking forward to taking the number 2 spot from the orcas and going after the diplomats. This thread goes in the watchlist.

Why are you picking at this story? Read and enjoy it, the individual nuances and facts/events in the story are Silverbeacher's and should not be questioned. Look at it this way, when your read a novel, do you write/email the author to clear up or discuss parts of the book? Read and enjoy, it looks like it will be a fantastic tale.

From Wikipedia, "To date, no fusion reactor has come close to producing net output power" So I'm guessing that's a no. It is still in experimental stages of development. Do you mean fission? That we have.
