The third and fourth government types have specifically named research projects. But I don't see one that gives you the second government, Republic. Can someone tell me which tech gives the second government type? Thanks!
Err... well, slight correction. They are in *orbit" around the planet until you launch them not on the planet surface. Guess I've gotten too used to being able to edit my posts like I do over on the SE4 forums on ShrapnelGames.Com.
Ships stay in orbit until they are launched from the planet surface. If you click on a ship from the list, it will tell you what system the ship is located in. Click on the system, and you will see the ship in the panel on the right at the bottom. You can double-click on the ship to launch it. Download Stardock Central, register your game (bottom right), and download the latest update. This will add a checkbox to each system that lets you autolaunch ships. Hope that helps.

MadMaz, a PocketPC version would be awesome. I would definitely like a copy. I'm constantly Alt-Tabbing between the game and JavaScout's web page.

The system contained three planets that were all producing 1000BC a turn and cranking out 3 Dreadnaughts per turn. Fortunately, I was cranking out Overlords by this point. But it was going to cause a pretty big problem to take over the 24 Billion population system. Sadly, I had not yet patched, and I got hit by the (now fixed
