I'm not experienced at all (I think I've been reading more about game-mechanichs at work than playing) BUT on my second game ever (tough difficulty, medium map, abundant everything except anomalies, slow tech, 4 opponents) I actually had my peace-offer accepted after a looong time waring. (long story of it is below) I got a very nice starting world and only problem was that the yellow race (don't remember it's name now) was starting in the corner, so to say "behind me" in every matter

Thanks a lot! An my mistake, it must have been "Starship bonus" and not what I wrote in my initial post. Hehe, what's even more luck here is that I decided to make this planet my Manufacturing Capital due to good bonuses on the ground. The ships it already have produced (but not tested in war yet) must be pretty good.

Two days ago I decided I wanted to watch some sf-series with HIGH quality...)

I also had this question. Thanks. But how will (or won't) uppgrades of the mining starbase affect the resource? To be more precise: 1) How much benefit would I get from ONE constructor making a mining starbase around an economic resourse? 2) How much would I benefit from the second constructor uppgrading the starbase? And subsequent? 3) How much morale do the morale-
