Other then that: revolutions, defections (scientists making off with technology?), minor races going nuts etc. There definitely should be a special "The Snathy goes nuts" event with it's own video

Yarien you do realise that you position will never last in a European court? If anyone cared to take it that far you would be forced to let people reregister... The "license" you send with the game has no legal binding.. anywhere.. outside the US
Actually I am not sure I want tactical battles as in MOO2, because it is way to easy to exploit, but we definitely need tactical options. If nothing else, to be able to sit through the battle and decide when to retreat. These all or nothing battles seems silly in a game this advanced. Given that the engine already have auto-play games, I think the option of seeing them live and deciding some things during the battle could be very possible in an expansion.
I am more worried about PayPal themselves. Simply because they are evil.
So,,, Are you going the actually fix this in a patch?
When the defender actually have fair chance will it even be possible to beat the Dread lords especially in the "Seige" scenario. As it used to be, the only way to defend against them was to detect and attack them before they attacked you. If the defender gets a fair chance then the Dread lords will be unbeatable.
I am pretty sure that if you are in a European country and have bought a used copy you can demand a new serial and a working game. Games and software have been established by the courts to be goods and not licenses many times, and as such they subject to normal sales laws which means that it is resellable. Microsoft have been forced quite a few times to accept transfers of licenses eventhough they claim it's impossible.
I think the changelog said the option didn't do anything yet. So don't worry about until the next patch.
It's a good thing aerodynamics don't matter in space. Poorly placed engines could still send the ship into a nasty permanent spin..
I've got the same problem. Smartexception doesn't catch any crashes at all.
