[quote]#18 by Avatar Frogboy - 5/20/2003 3:35:25 PM I think much of this boils down to: Ctrl-N is too powerful.I think one solution is not to wimp out Ctrl-N but rather keep how many times a player restarts their game in mind when doing scoring.If you get a great starting position, you can usually win against opponents who aren't cheating.[/quote] please leave it in. i rarely use it, but i don't want a feature i like removed just because some people abuse it. it would be like removing

Treblid, it might be easier to get help if you didn't trash a game most of the people here really like...anyway, if you build a freighter and send it to another empire's planet, it will make a trade route, unless you already have the max legal number set by united planets law. http://www.geocities.com/russellmz/FAQ.html the above link has some links to threads that help with morale and money i found. don't forget to use starbases and economic modules to increase the cash o
