I've seen this happen, though not since 1.1 (haven't played a 1.2 game yet.) It was usually just a staging zone, and I like to think it is a statement of "look what I could do, should you provoke me.)

You should be doing "beta" stuff for the joy of helping test and make the game a better game.
beta... 'nuff said
It's one thing to get on someone for posting like an 11 year old, it's another to make it a personal attack. That's usually uncalled for. OP : plesae spell out words; you aren't a Korx trying to impress us with your tech.
Seeing the criteria for ranking would be good. Or various ranking lists.
Heck, I think starting relations should be completely randomized, and maybe tied into the game difficulty.
Thanks, Chip. Blew it tonight; missed one.
Slow research. Interesting how it levels the playing field. I've only started toying with the settings, using the defaults to get a feel for the game. I like the high habitable planet setting; I had an Influence Victory almost just from my colonial fleets (followed by the IKEA & Wal*Mart Constructors...)
Thanks. Registering there now, once it sends the confirmation email.
Are the Diplomats in open recruiting? I'm still fairly new to the game, figuring out the game, and having a blast, and would like to join up with you guys.
I was "Evil" for one game, and "Neutral" for two others, and I'm still tagged as Chaotic Evil. *shrug*
A MoM sequel would be great, but I don't think any game or company will ever capture the "magic" MoM gave us, waaaay back when. Different time, different developers, and different expectations.
Yea, the larger problem is that stores like Gamestop/EB will take used software pretty much regardless of what it is, and resell it. (Used stuff is their cash cow.)
Been wondering the same thing myself.
A really good show that failed to make it on TV thanks to Fox's effed up marketting.
Thanks for the responses. 2nd question : WHen will my "medals" etc show up in my .sig? What's needed for each rank too?
So I crashed in the middle of a Large game. If I reload, can it be submitted upon completion? How sould I restart - start up a new Metaverse game and then load it?
