Patch is great, no issues or crashes. On an insane map with abundant planets and 'occasional' resources/relics' we have 80 admin. While my game is new at this point I think that number is too high. Maybe 50 and then add more via the Gov lines. Also as has been noted Research is fast. I have 'normal' research pace but Slow game pace and it feels ok, but some may think its too fast.

Its not a bug. It reports the planets that your scouts last saw. If there is NO ship there (to see & observe it) and it gets colonized then you waited too long. Place a scout at a planet and see how the list will update. If it gets colonized it will come off our list of potential places.

Tilyas, This has been mentioned quite a bit. I think they are making some passes on how fast research is being done and what stacks with what. i also think research is going to slow down drastically with the release of Crusade which has features to tie Research, Economy and admin all together.

The issue Willy is that every 4x game I have ever played benefits from expansion. All of them even GCII. The point is that sure you can have a very strong 'small' empire with say 6 or 12 worlds. ..but..the empire with 40 (like the Drengin or the Yor or the Krynn can get) will simply outpace you in all areas, production, research and influence. <span style="font-size: medium; font-fa

I have played since Alpha and have yet to win a game via Ascension. I usually have conquered the galaxy and it becomes clicking to the next turn and I restart. Insane with occasional relics. the points per turn starts going up higher as you research better constructor modules. I imagine that this type of victory will be very hard to pull off with the upcoming limitation of star bases we will be seeing in April.

If you are playing above 'normal' the ai gets bonuses to tech and it gets bonus to research production. This is totally normal. I only play gifted or above and usually if you have not noticed but by turn 75 to 125 if you look at the ai, it will almost always be ahead of you in techs. You should be targeting anomalies which 'can' grant instant research completion or reduction in times. I also focus and specialize about 25% of my planets for research. <
