Custom race with Super organizer asks for help when attacked. I accept. The very same turn I am threatened for a significant sum of money, by the very race that asked for my help! "If you wish to remain and independent empire" etc... I'm going out on a limb here but this doesn't seem to be working as intended eh?
I always play the Drengin and I am usually able to intimidate the AIs in the early going. Grab a quick military lead, then visit with each other race in turn and collect "contributions". Each of your neighbors coughing up a few hundred credits adds up quite nicely, and the resulting war chest can then be used to beat down the race who thought they were strong enough to resist your demands.

Can anyone explain to me how this works so I
