Autolaunch always gives me a full transport, and usually gives me a full conbat transport (depending on system size). That's odd.

I was wondering this too, although I have only seen it woth the Yor. In my last 3 games they have have one colony 3 sectors away from anything else of theirs.
I saw two of those in a game. +10 for the Torians, which wasn't too bad because it was a corner sector, and they only had the one sector. Then +14 for the Arceans, which also wasn't too bad because I ended up taking most of the planets. But I still think this is too powerful of an event.
I didn't like the warp point part of SE4. Once you get that battlestation built on the 2-3 points to your space the game is over. I never had the computer even drop the shields on a battlestation, but they kept throwing away ships every turn trying. I haven't found a successor to Moo2, Galciv is good, but it's more Civ than Moo.
Why am I just learning about this now!
