[quote]I have been running a negative economy since the beginning of the game and doing pretty well.How do I do this? By selling technology. Selling technology brings in ridiculous cash. It almost seems like I'm cheating.[/quote] Yeah, thats one of the first strategies I discovered too, and quickly became bored of it. It really felt dirty, somehow. Set up your race with as much research and diplomacy bonuses as possible, research like crazy and sell (almost) all of it for gobs of cash.

Say that you have military spending at 50%, and social and research at 25%. You have a planet with no starport. Does that planet miss out on a potential 50% extra social/research production? Or is it smart enough to divy it out to social and research? If its going to waste that way, is there a way to manage economic spending on a per planet basis?
