Hi necro186. The best thing would be to enter the download page and get Stardock Central. Together with your serial number you can use it to download the complete game and install it from scratch.
You have very basic questions. You should have a look in the "Strategies" section and in the miscellaneous FAQs e.g. in the "Encyclopedia". Your amount of money is the treasury in the lower left corner. When it is red and starts with a "-" you are in dept :p . When you are deeper than -500 you can't spend anything anymore. The important "Economics" screen can be reached via the "Domestic Policy" button. You have several sliders there. One for your tax rate which gene

Yes, this is especially important when you use one of those expensive invasion tactics. With a fleet you only need to pay it once. Unused troops will be send back to their ship. i.e. when you attack with five ships with 1 Mil each and you loose 1,5 Mil you will have 0,5 Mil on the starsystem and three ships left over.

I was in a Media Markt in Salzburg (Austria) last week and found GC in the shelves. There are offers at Ebay for AP and GC from Brooklyn. With shipping it's 24,99 € in Germany.
You can trade for influence points. But what are they good for beside voting power in United Planets? Do they have influence on the sector influence? Do they count for Metavers points? Is there anything else related with them?
The most important point is to get all of the influence ressources. Since you can't get them all during the first colonization phase, keep constructurs lurking nearby to grab them when the alien starbase get war victims. You can force that process by trading AIs into war and gifting capital ships positioned near by the starbase. When this does not work I trade for them. It costs a lot but it's worth it. I do it when I start my cultural offencive. First I build my own
Do you still have a saved game? The serial is burried in there.
It works very well for me in AP. What are the influence sector values after a few turns after building the starbases? Even with a difference of more than thousand points it can take a while when they have high cultural resistance.

Rally points should be movable. This would be a great improvement. e.g. when you build starbases you could assign a group of planets to a rally point and send all constructors to your destination. When enough constructors are on the way you could move the rally point to a new destination where you would like to build up the next starbase and all new constructurs would automatically head to the new destination etc. It would be optimal when you could choose if ships whic
Hi psyche1618, ich kann verstehen, dass Du frustriert bist. Du kannst aber weder Stardock noch den deutschen Vertriebspartner dafür verantwortlich machen (auch wenn die sich nicht gerade mit Ruhm bekleckert haben) wenn Du den Key verlierst ... Das ist bei allen anderen Spielen und vielen Programmen genauso. Ich sehe auch die einzige Möglichkei darin de Key zurückzubekommen, wenn Du Dich bei Stardock mit einer Email-Adresse registriert hattest. Dann können Sie ihn Dir z

I don't build any military unless I want to crush someone. I concentrate on colonizing, starbases, trade etc. A strong economy gives you some respect, too. And when you manage to get "Diplo Translators", "Eyes of the Universe" and the "Gravity Accelerators" you don't need to worry about a war. I never give in when they demand something. It's just my pride which keeps me from doing it :p I usually play the good guy. Thus I send all my frighters to the bad guys. This improves yo

Thanks Peace Phoenix. I knew that the post was from you :D I have it in my watch list but when I try to show the watch list I get "An error has occurred while processing the page."
Research costs should be calculated correctly. Currently to show the remaining month the free research of the last turn is used to calculate the values. Correct would be the free research of the current turn. This is a bug fix but nevertheless one of the most wanted features for me :) A good enhancement would be to show the total cost of the tech and a visualization via progress bar.
This is a misinterpretation. The value in the stats page is cumulative, i.e. it's all they spend in the hole game. Not only in one turn.

To get the AI into war check the military graphs on the right. Trade techs to the first AI to attack the second and the third. The other way round will not work! Keep that in mind when you trade techs. You need some left over for the strongest AI. When I still have techs left I check what else I can wreak havoc ;)

After Universal Tranlator I usually don't research any of the technologies you mentioned. The AI researchs them anyway while I'm building - 1st Colony Ships until all stars with planets above 15 in range are covered. - 2nd Soil Enhancement and Constructors Reseach something else the AI does not have like Nano Electronics or Invironmentel Control and trade this to the AI. I make a table with all techs and which AI has it. First I trade for monopolies, then techs only tw
With Starbases you can do a lot of things: - influence to culture flip alien stars or defend against culture flip; but be aware that on high difficulty levels you should not do that in the AI sectors itself (they get pissed off and will attack you) - trade (value of mini frighters in this sector) - production in this sector - military abilities (speed, defense, attack, repair) in this sector; in the first part of the game a starbase with all defense modules can be used to def

1) Is "125 Influence" the influence of this star system or the influence of the Altarians in this sector? 2) The trick is that the population growth doubles at 100% approval (i.e. moral). Thus a planet should be kept at 100% nealy at all costs until the cap of 200 per turn and planet is reached. When this is reached depends on your population ability and is about three to six thousand population per planet. There was a good explanation with a value table somewhere in this forum. Does an
Do you have other mods active at the same time?
The trade aspect was discussed several times. Since the modules are only active when the mini frighters are in the same sector as the starbase it is not easy to use the trade boost. Since the mini frighters do not use the same path on the way back when the two planets are not on the same horizontal or vertical line of sectors (i.e. in the same column or line) and the amount of starbases is limited through the logistic costs I know only of two main trade starbase tactics.
[quote]Citizen Piestar As too Starbases, these nice folks have answered your question except for one thing probably too basic for them to think of, but obvious for a noob like myself. HOW do you use these starbases to gain these effects? Simple, you build another constructor ship, and have it move into the same space as an existing starbase. You will get a pop up asking if you want to upgrade, which leades to the various ways your civilization can upgrade starbases. The ways will grow not on
