Thanks ^^. I'm trying a diplo victory but find it difficult to ally with most races. I know that by same ethic, having trade routes, treaties and giving a tech when asked for help increases relation. What I want to know is: when does the AI get bothered by my influence? (alarming influence -) if they have a planet with (1.50ip) will they be pissed? What is the (Militaristic -) relationship factor refer to, is there anyway to avoid it, iv'e already adjusted the agression slider to lear

What does the courage ability do exactly? From the description I would guess that it improves soldiering whend defending against invasion, if that is so that would mean that the soldiering ability wich increses soldiering both invading and defending is allways a better choice?

Till you get used to the game stick to small-medium maps, larger maps are more difficult to manage for new players. I still get confused/lost on Huge and I've had the game for months now. The auto designed ships you get in the shipyad after each new researched weapon tech are pretty good and balanced, after a few games you can try making you own ships. Keep in mind that you can choose what type of weapon/defense your new designs will focus on. If your enemy uses lots of mass drive

Once allied with another faction will the AI ever break the alliance on his own? I mean If I don't brake the alliance but slowly conquer his planets via influence will he break the alliance and declare war to stop me?

Thanks for the reply, regarding the whole ip for tech trade issue I;ve done some tests and seemes that the number of ip required for trade for the techs I desire is equal to what I would cost me if I gave them bc(credits). Don;t know if this is an unique issue but seemes that the AI values ip=to credits in my games. Anyway I won't be exploiting this anymore since I don't enjoy playing with cheats. Edi

Twilight of Arnor 2.03 I'm no good at designing ships so I usually use the game generated ships. I noticed that the terran star furry design is a bit off, the right side of the ship is missaligned. I've tried to upgrade the ship and fix it but I can't manage to align the right wings back at the same angles as the left side ones. Also is it just me or is this how the ship should look?
