I second the idea that the AI fleeting behavior in recovery should be top priority. have them run their fighters away and wait till they have 5 maxed fleets of them before they come back at the very least. Does the AI sim battles to know when to avoid? Once you've gotten a battleship to sit on one of their planets, they really don't seem to be able to take anything back. They don't really do anything tactically irritating like first striking starbases just after a war declare

1. make the UP interesting. have early data available on topic and likely voting outcome for each race, make those have diplomatic values so you can either sell your vote or buy other votes. 2. make espionage meaningful by giving it other than pre-invasion sabotage functionality. also give it diplomatic repercussions. 3. make it easier to turn off autoupgrades, so we can get industrial tech for the starbase improvements, without being blighted, by non-cost effective "upgrades"<

Replying to myself, as my post isn't appearing... does it take a long time? Rabe

Hiya. I'm playing on a large galaxy and have hideous numbers of planets. I made the mistake of researching industrial sector(for the starbase upgrades, really I should probably have stopped after advanced factories) and now everything is autoupgrading, which is bad for me since I am fighting a war and need big scary ships tout suite. Damn Thalans. I manually canceled the upgrades, which took forever... and the next turn.... THEY WERE BACK!!! (screaming) Now some would argue

Heya. Finished a galciv game... redular current version dread lords.... nothing impressive took out random (turns out to have been 3 + the scotties) tough opponents in a medium gaxacy ~8600 score. Happened to win an influence victory, though I was militarily dominant as well having put down the drath -- who misinterpeted my pacifism for weakness... In any case, the exciting bit was when I tried to upload the score to the metaverse. It didn't like my login
