I run the game on huge - and I only have about a 5 second wait at worst- sometimes almost none. I think it's your system. I personally Love the huge galaxy - give more realistic approach to the game. Jerry

Solitar (Paul) said it best - it's called the law of diminishing returns. Here's a suggestion - build 1 star base- get 100 % of it's cultural effect - build another - get 50 %, build another - get 25 %, and so on. :CONGRAT:

Reply to Why Terror Stars should be put in! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Terror stars also need to have a high maintenance cost too - not to mention that there should be some ethical consequences if you use them.

I'm not sure what it could be - but I think that they has to be a moral cost to using a terror star.
