[quote who="neilkaz" reply="13" id="3662041"] What size galaxy is your typical MP game played in? [/quote] Largest possible I believe is Huge/Gigantic Usually play with abundant planets/stars/habitable. Although I thank you for that suggestion, however, I should be able to take my normal faction I play with in SP games and play with them in MP with similar experiences, I shouldn't have to have one faction for MP to be able to use Ideology and one faction for SP.&n
[quote who="neilkaz" reply="11" id="3662024"] Are custom races not allowed in multiplayer? I couldn't imagine not using one! I'd imagine there's lots of conquests and planets change hands. Take the Zealots trait and gain Ideology points the first time you conquer a planet. [/quote] Custom factions are allowed in Multiplayer, however, why are you handicapping all other factions in MP?
[quote who="pshaw" reply="5" id="3662034"] Thanks for the reports folks. We haven't see this internally, but we'll look into it and see what we can find out. [/quote] Hmmmm.... Interesting this was on the many tickets I had in the past that stated we'll continue to work on this but, we don't have a timeframe right now and, we'll let you know when it's taken care of... I assumed it was still being worked... :(

I agree with both Eris and Builder in part... First off with builder, no I don't like spamming star bases around a planet it's long and annoying but, helps me get the most out of my planets so as long as I can as a player spam star bases and it gives me a benefit I will. Thank Stardock for the automation with the starbases have now with auto ordering the upgrades and with the pragmatic constructor module +1 bonus. As far as Eris says, I'm going to take

Right now ideology in multiplayer is kind of pointless. The game starts off playing very similar to a single player game, however, after the colony rush stage of the game the human players have no way to easily get ideology points. At this point they are stuck trying to generate ideology points on their own with any building that they may have unlocked during the colony rush. Now I know Multiplayer is a very small percentage of all players but, without the mega events ideolo
[quote who="Larsenex" reply="4" id="3661657"] I would love a 5th Ideology bar that was as race specific as Stardock would make it. It would make a nice DLC but I really think it would require FAR more hours of development and work than they could pull out of it via paid DLC. [/quote] Love the idea, however, there still needs to be something extra for players to get ideology in MP, it's almost pointless after the colony rush in MP to do anything with ideology, sure

[quote who="Badbonez" reply="6" id="3661577"] 1.9 changed the map sizes, made them smaller with more stuff in them. Is that what you have in mind? [/quote] Not specifically, Just a general post to bring attention that a lot of people may play those other ways and complete games or multiplayer games but, something is holding them back and that's why the stats don't show the whole picture.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="1" id="3661556"] Well to be honest my main reason I play single player is because I can play the game when I want.

My argument against the whole more people play SP or more players play smaller maps or even most larger game maps never come to completion are the following... More players play SP vs MP by 95% or more... First off MP was very unstable at launch which turned people away from MP, it has gotten better but, haven't tried more than 2 player MP in a long time, that is were most of the stability issues were with 3 or 4 players.

I do see an update is queued for me as well, maybe the fix to the insane map size?
