I'm with you on the non-invasive comment! Thank you for the link. I'll check it out when I get home.

Hello. I've been gone from GCII for a couple years now but have been getting a hankering to play again. I've been on Windows 7 for over a year so none of my old install files are available on my hard drives. Initially, I figured it should be no sweat if I could just get Impulse installed and then I could log on. But now I see that Impulse is gone, and does not seem to be available on Gamestop's site. So what do I do now? I still

Wow, it seems I opened a can of fireworks here! This is wonderful; having an active discussion on this matter is a great thing. I need to do some more playtesting, but even so, having an "actual number" on the colony "Summary Screen" would help, EVEN IF that number is partially or wholly a product of various ability levels, race benefits, government style, good vs. evil, etc. Just seeing "+10%" doesn't help me much.

Do mulitple factories have an additive effect with regards to future social project building and/or military (ship) building? Sometimes it seems the answer is "yes," but other times, I'm not so sure. Q2. Assuming that the answer to Q1 above is "y
