Its one heck of a homeworld, how long did you Ctrl-N for to get that Wade? Quik post and then I'll be back later : Like about an hour on and off while doing other things too. Believe me it gets really old really quick. It's not something I might do again. I'll just take what I get next time. You never know what's just at the next system.

Well I'm checking back again...Thanks El Conquest...and others. I know that many of us have experienced a game like this already. It's fun to recount them to others though. Also
33 Marcathonas, if you are really 15 then you seem above the average for wisdom in social interaction. -Wade
Yay! The titles next to our names in the Forum list are gone now. I must not have been the only one bothered by them when looking for a name. I just never said any thing. -Wade
If you only buy your very first ship (not for small galaxy's) you will still grab enough planets to be economically self - sustaining. To buy everything all the time is a useless waste of money and you only need a few factories to produce efficiently. Paranoia of losing great planets is what rush builing is for. I agree with this. Ther
Has anyone ever seen the 700% Research bonus?? No, I haven't. What is it called? -Wade
OK. This is the starting plan I have. I have purchased the factory. I will not need to purchase any thing else untill later. Every three turns I can get that colony ship. Every two turns I'll get a building and then it's all ships. My only early concern will be p
Like others have mentioned, buy the factory immediatly and then produce one ship/turn. Yes I agree and so I have started. Thank you all. Any other questions, comments, or concerns? -Wade
I think you should be able to queue things up by clicking on a tile and requesting something built there and it will build these in sequence. when ones done another starts. you should be able to upgrade by clicking on the questioned structure and replacing it with another unless it is a wonder or something. This is all already in the game. A
kind of a usless waste of money to me. That's because you don't know what you're doing. Wade, if you're worried about social spending costs, Empyrean, it was not me that stated that. I agree with your advice. -Wade
Well you wouldn't explore it but it could affect the nearby parsects?...little squares...in movement and battles. Maybe it could provide a research bonus to nearby planets.Now theres a new take. Negative = slower movement. Positive = research bonus. -Wade
As far as "grand" terrain features in current human knowledge,as a layman, I'd say that's about it. -Wade
I'm not sure what you want. You must know that the order you place buildings is the order that they're built. Then, in the build que, you can move them up or down in the building order. So are you asking to have a prioritized "building plan que list" that the govenors can take care of after you colonize or invade so that you do not have to? That would be a good thing I guess. -Wade
Yup, host it on a site. Photobucket.com or Imageshack.us is great. Thanks 'Alibi' for the sites. I used Photobucket. It was very easy after a little studying. I've never posted screenshots before this. -Wade Edit: The Screensh
OK! I got the image posted at the top of this post ! Yay! I'm going to Tec! Yay! -Wade
Once your treasurey is getting low then raise taxes til your weekly gain is in the positive then start tring to lower taxes over time to get back to 100% approval. -Wade
Basically, it gives my homeworld the extra tiles, that I would have put Factories on, to be used for other structures. So the number of Factories I would have normally put is the number of extra tiles I'm free to play with. I'm still looking into posting a picture if anyone cares. -Wade The homeworld also has: one 300% research, one 100% research, and two 100% influence. DARN!...double reply.

I think they would be a good "terrain" feature on the map. Here are some things that could be used as "terrain" to affect movement, combat, sensors, and,of course excitement: -stable wormholes -black holes (a collapsed star where light does not escape:for those that might not exactly know) -nebulas -asteroid belts and oort clouds What else?
On planets with production bonus tiles do most of you still build the same number of factories or do you build less because of the bonus to free tiles for other structures? -Wade I guess it would be a matter of how specialized you want the planet.Right?
Note to wade: do not build a factory on it in the beginning of the game unless you want to see your economy ruined by the excess bc allocated to spending in the beginning. If I do build on it right away couldn't I just lower the Industrial Capacity slider for a while? I have just downloaded Comcast Photoshow Deluxe. Will that
OK.Darn it. I've : 1. Printed screen 2. Pasted to Microsoft Paint 3. Saved as JPEG 4. Clicked on Image here and pased the name of the picture. I did something wrong. What? Ok.I should have known this step.I think I'm supposed to post it to some other web site first and then enter the URL address for it. What a pain. Wich site is quik and easy if this is what I do? -Wade
I've found my homeworld. OK, so I've been doing 'Control N' continually restarting the game til I found it.(Damn that gets boring.) It's just that I heard others mention starting with a Precursor Mine before but I had not started with one. Now, hopefully the neighboring stars will be rewarding. New Topi
We all like to answer other's questions. Feel free to ask the simplest of questions. Some might be rude but most will not. If you USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS people find it annoying because it is like you are shouting. In this case most will be rude and some will not. It's like using proper diplomacy. -Wade
Well do'nt be so hard on yourself by calling yourself foolish. Maybe...misinformed and anxious? -Wade
