Thanks for the answers, but it is range bonus, not sensors I was asking about. What does creativity do then? Do you just suddenly get a tech? And does a 10% attack/defense bonus matter at all in the early game when you have values of 2-4 for example?

I am trying to decide on what racial bonuses to choose and have some questions about some of them: 1. Courage – what does this actually do? Are there any numbers people can give as examples (like you get x bonus in y situation). 2. Creativity – what does this mean…do you just suddenly get a tech you are researching or is it a bonus tech points or what? 3. Attack/Defense Bonus – is this a bonus to all your ships attack/defense numbers, and if so does it round up or dow

There's a formula to determine attack order. I can't remember it though (sorry). Something like weapons/(hitpoints+defence). Attack priority is highest value first. Try using small or medium ships as support instead and emphasise weapons more than defence on these ships. Alternatively, if you're building defence on your tiny support ships, take it off! </

Oh yes, the effects are cumulative. If you build 4 starbases in each of the corners where 4 sectors meet, you can get 16 starbases affecting a planet. I assume this means there is a limit on # of starbases per sector then? What is the limit and does it depend on difficulty or any other factor?

Thank you to all who replied, most helpful! Economic 'starbases' only add a stacked bonus to a planets base military production, social production, and research production. Inside there sphere of influence ( 8 tiles ). Some players also like to have all their trade routes from one of their planets to just one other planets and place lots of economic 'starba

I just got this game and am playing through for the 1st time and have some questions for all you veterans out there: Trade 1. I killed a route and it appears that the freighter on that route was disbanded – true? 2. I know that having a trade route with a more distant planet is better, but how much better is distance over a route with a populous planet? Is there any formula to figure out if it is better to go distance over a closer high population planet? 3. Is there any r

I cannot get the game to load (version 1.2, but it does the same for 1.0). I have a brand new computer (bought it especially for Oblivion) and my screen resolution is higher (1152x864 I think) than the min required. Drivers are all current I believe. When I start the game, either through the launcher or the exe directly all that happens is a black window appears – the task manager says the program is running but nothing else ever happens. I have to eventually manually close the appli
