That's far to much. Just take a cargo hull, fill it with sensors and place them at strategic points, cheap and effective. My point was that Eyes of the Universe puts scanner 15's on all your ships...anything with at least 1 scanner on it. That's why it's so effective...it allows you to use anything t
You just reminded me of a joke...I'd paste it but then I'd really be off topic; so here's the Link Still, have to admit this is the first time I've enjoyed having a slightly older computer. Very odd that the newer systems are having so much more difficulty.
My computer is 3 years old, for the first year Windows update wanted to replace ATI's video driver with their own. Catch was, their driver was much older than currently available from ATI. It is possible to have old drivers with a new machine.
More of a gameplay feedback post than a glitch post 1)5 AI's on a huge map, normal intelligence, abundant stars w/common habitable planets 2) Races: Drath, Iconians, Altarians, Yor and Thalan Background: On a whim I've kept my military spending at zero w/ research and social near 50% each. I wanted to check how fast the AI's can grow and how much it cost to stay with them, so I've been using the CNTL-M cheat for
CTD... Thank you for finally spelling out what it means. Having said that I still don't know what you are complaining about.... sort of. I've had the game running non-stop both of the last two weekends and at least 4 hours every night. After 39 hours of straight use the first weekend I saw my first crash (timely...I did need to go somewhere). THEN I updated my video drivers. Last night I left it on in windows mode for 8 hours (though actively pla

Eyes of the universe. Having every ship with 15 scanners, including trade ships, and matching it to ships designed to be fast with well placed starbases is my strategy to keep a nominal defense force with teeth and the flexibility to counter any incursion but an all out attack. It frees up my main forces to actually attack.
This actually reminds me of a gripe I had my last couple games: If I have tech traded for Harpoon II, why is my "intelligence service" stealing Stinger III? I notice this a lot when invading planets... I'll end up with a tech I've traded beyond and have no use for.
If I meet one of the AI races early in the game, I'll set espionage to 5bc and leave it alone. On a larger map you will notice that the initial 5bc investment eventually builds to 40+. As I run into the other races, I set their bc level at whatever the first race has moved up to. By mid game, I'm stealing techs from all of them.
What Drachasor said about the ship designer. If select a ship and then upgrade while in spacedock, you are unable to put anything on the hull and get an "item too large" message. I noticed with engines and support modules before exiting and designing from scratch. Also noticed ships from earlier games not available, even though you have appropriate tech.

I've no issue with the window not scrolling. Assigning movement locations is the same as assigning targets for attack: Left click to select your unit/fleet, then right click on the location/target. This also works if you left click your unit, and right click in the mini-map...or left click the mini-map then right click on the main screen for a slightly more accurate placement. Scrolling? Don't need not stinking scrolling!</font
Spearthrower: Nice logo...I use it for my desktop. Gotta love the Hubble images!
The new patch will make sure the AI upgrades its fleets, maybe they will also start paying attention to the veteran status of its fleets?
it's a bug that is caused by moving one ship to its max range and then moving the rest to it (with some moves left) and making a fleet out of them. At that point you fleet will go to 0 moves as it is limited to the least moves of the ship in the fleet, but for some reason they don't refresh correctly.
The "other" library: I once checked out the Galactic Core after reading about it in a post, but can't remember the URL and can't find the post anymore. I was going to see if people have started using it more, but can't get there to find out. I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction...

Thank you for the early morning laugh!

"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts for space."

Link The link is to the forum entry I found when I ran into the same question. Hopefully it's something that will be fixed with the next update. There's something to be said about the openess of the game to have to mod it to run normally...
I think that's one of the reasons why multiplayer has gotten so popular -- because the base games are so simplistic that they can't hold a player's attention very long so it's only in multplayer that they really have any lifespan. And that's exactly why I stopped buying the games a couple years ago.
