Getting precursor ships is always fun, but there are times the events seem to get out of hand giving out a lot of them in a short period of time. For example I had a game I was trying to win by tech victory so I just had enough military to keep from getting attacked for being too weak. Then guess what happened, over a period of 20 turns EIGHT lucky rangers were handed out.... seven of which went to me <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smile

Its all about customization, some people love it and will go huge distances to mod games to a way they like. The ship designer is a customization tool that came with the game that anyone can use easily (if they want to). Also from what ive seen on the ship design thread it lets some people creative side come out.

oops, sorry for double post. I got a time out error and thought it didnt send. Now I look bad

Along the lines of the original posters question, how do they get planetary invasion so fast?? They seem to have it about 20 turns into the game. While when I try to rush to that tech (tech slider 100%, full spending, etc) when it finally becomes available its 80+ turns to research it. Another friend of mine who got the game before me noticed the same thing and neither of us can figure out how they do it. Whats worse the AI NEVER trades it so I have to research it at some point if I want to figh

Bug: tribute to/from you can be changed in diplomacy screen. Ive done this many times (cant resist using it to keep drengins away one more turn sometimes) and recently discoverd it works both ways. Reproduce: when any other race contacts you to demand tribute FROM you or to give tribute TO you just click the ADD button above the money amount in the diplomacy screen , then the other races text will change and you can hit send and they "forget" that they originally sent/asked for tribut

I just had this happen to me, i was playing a 6 person normal diff game. The Drengins had just pushed the Yor to a point where they surrender to somebody and they picked the Terrans. So next turn Yor is gone and now Terrans control the enitre map, ownership showed the entire minimap as blue. I made a savegame the turn it happened (the turn the map went blue) but I cant remember where to send it.

Im pretty sure this is a bug. I was playing a normal diff game earlier and since I delay building military till i get decent weapons i usually end up paying off the drengins to leave me alone. This time was no different, except when the drengins called i hit the "add" button on my side of the diplomacy screen by accident (like i was offering the money) and the text from the drengins changed from their line about their "peacekeeping efforts" to them saying "hmmm" like they are considering my off

Ok, I have tried to rush this tech many times myself only to have it 80-100 turns research time when I finally get access to it. Im wondering how does the AI get it so fast, ive tried putting my tech slider up but still the turn time seems too high compared to how fast the AI gets it. Also along those lines, how exactly does the AI fit 11000 troops into one troop pod??? I cant go over 1000 max on the default transport or with a custom one, and since were both using cargo hulls early in the game
