the pacifiscts might not allow you to declare war when most of the other times the senate will go along with your little interplanetary misadventures. you can still sell a declaration of war to get around it though.

[quote]You know the people who save-load at every random event until they get exact one they want?[/quote] modders who make a new event and test it out without playing a 300 turn game that MIGHT have it? :D [quote]Oh, and I don't think anyone here's whining. I had to look up some stuff on a forum for another game, and I was reminded what a great place this is. They had moderators flaming vets for actually answering newbie questions, then pointing them to the FAQ, instead of jus

[quote]Speaking of anomalies, the planetoid anomaly, the green chunk of rock, does it always spawn a monster? I've had a monster come out of it three times now, never anything else.[/quote] it's a space monster egg, not a rock :D
[quote]And if it did have the effect of making ships invisible to YOU and it was not a bug then that would still not be a good thing since you'd be unable to click on them [/quote] when i was playing i could "see" the ship firing at my ships and by either going to the last spot or running some patrols around, i could click on a "blank" spot and get my ships to attack. i didn't realize i had to quit and reload, so eventually i set up some obsolete corvettes as a screen and to do
thanks ray. hmmmm...constant updates have a bad side... ;) i will leave it but add a disclaimer, since it's the last "official" word i remember reading.

maybe mini-galactic resources: nebulas, asteroid fields, etc that also affect movement rates. that can be the equivalent of forest, mountains, ponds, etc in civ2.
hey, ray, do you happen to know if i can upload an image to a blog post? do they have to be offsite? the developer logs had listings like /joe/daily45345634/image.png but i couldn't find any image upload mechanism.
it was actually kinda cool, i thought at first that cloaking code was accidently activated. [Message Edited]

kinda spoilers i guess about the anti gov event. there are pics of politcial buttons that you can pin to your shirt. all against humans. i can only read three of them: the actual "space monster"! can't we all just get along? what do you know? another human out to kill aliens. does anyone know what the other buttons say?

[quote]1) I walk around a corner and a marine gets me with a rocket launcher at point-blank range. I hit the quick-load, and toss a grenade around the corner.2) I see a row of ledges / laser trip-mines / whatever up ahead. I try jumping past, but fall/fry/explode. So, I quick-load and try again.You could call scenario 1 cheesy. Forbidden knowledge and all that. What about 2? I jumped left when I should have jumped right, so I died. I think that if I jump right, I could beat this thing. Should I

[quote]And I'd choose Seven-of-Nine with me on a desert island over Major Kira anyday [/quote] so you want to hang around the monotone humorless chick that never had a physical realtionship and may still have metal parts sticking out in certain places? :D
my empire is listed as dead! neat. my plans for covert galactic domination are proceeding nicely...
[quote]You're probably right. We don't need new ships that AIs don't know how to use. We already have AMMs and Terror Stars in this category. [/quote] i remember they said they had to tone down the ai so it wouldn't mass amm's and then kill everything in one strike. that sorta annoyed me. i don't like invasions since it reduces my population. i just want the enemy wiped out.
whatever happen to this idea?
[quote]For my part though, it does seem that espionage does indeed steal techs now. I got 6-7 of them from the Drengins and Altarians last game alone![/quote] the game after you mentioned i did get some techs from the drengin. i had twice as much espionage budgeted for them than anyone else. i also finally got the draginol event on one of my planets. one turn after the message it converted! i though i had some lead time to build one more ship and then some combat transports to get their

what kind of files are the ".tiles" in Gfx directory? can i edit them?
wow, i thought it was a coincidence: but i think i saw the drengin try and sneak a few corvettes into my sectors -before- the drengin vip assassinated event.
i tried to get a tech victory. all the races were allied together except the drengin and the wiped out evil torians(sobs killed everyone in the last game i played. now the circle is complete...). i brokered several peace deals but the stupid yor dragged me into a war that i couldn't bargain the yor out of. i kept at my tech victory, and got to the tech before final frontier. then the drengin, who were getting spanked by the arcean-altarian-yor-earth alliance (i didn't care about the war and didn
is it a fluke i had the most stuff happen in my game last than night almost all my other games combined? the i-league showed up. never happened to me before. 5 or 6 new minor races popped up over the course of the game. usually i get one or two at most. the last altarian planet revolted and became a new minor power. never happened to me before. the galactic prison finally had an escape. never happened to me before. the galactic zoo finally had a spac
