My God, how fast do those guys go at it? Whenever I play a game, my population growth is really slow, but the aliens just seem to be rabbits. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, I saw that, and it does let you load up your troop and colony ships from there.
That would be a very nice thing to do too CariElf. Ardrikk, thats what I was thinking. I could cycle though all my active ships first, then get to the new ships after, so i could garrison or move out at my command. Its a bit clunky right now.
PLEASE, can we have newly created ships appear free in space instead of being in orbit? I find it really annoying that I have to hunt around for the planet that just made a ship, and sometimes I forget that ships were created and are sitting uselessly in orbit doing nothing. For example, i found a great resource and started making a few constructors. A bunch of other things were created the turn the constructor came out, and I did not see it for another 10 turns. By the time I found it
LOL, I was thinking the same thing Randy. :)
Not a problem. :) Now my next problem is I am on my home machine, and I load a playlist, however I see all the titles flash repeatedly at the bottom of the screen without playing. Its very odd. But alas, I must go to bed, so I will muck with it and read more forums tomorrow to see if anyone else had this.
Since the game is multithreaded, IE it thinks about what the AI is going to do while you are doing your work, does that mean that people with faster computers are at a disadvantage over those with slower machines? If my machine runs at 2 Ghz, and Bob's runs at 1, does that mean my AI can plot all that much more than Bob's and be able to stomp me more?
Aha! Found out the problem. User loaded playlists and background loading were turned on. When I turned these off, the game plays without problem. (I have my MP3's on a samba share, so the game code may be getting confused by this).
I set it to tiny, and i don't think autosave is a factor, because even at the main menu it is really jerky. The spaceships flying around animation pauses for about 10 seconds before moving again a little bit.
This game currently is unplayable. :( I downloaded it onto my work machine (Yeah yeah, i know), a p3-450 and whenever i play, it takes up to 30 seconds for any of my clicks to be active. Anyone else running into this?
