Kevin. If it's cuddly you want? Come along and visit me. :) I love making Kittens purr. It's easy to leave those namby pamby do gooders and join a real mans outfit.

Seems unfair to me. Giving each minor empire their moment in the sun was a noble idea. I switched to the Evil Empire then back again to the ANZACs with no problems. But then, I am not such an exalted player. Probably no one even noticed.
I am still here Blueee. Strokes his fevered brow and pours him a drink. ;) Just submitted a game too. Not up to Cotal's standard, but it's a start.
Also, they might have some "Military improvement" resourses, that they are fully developing. Never been sure exactly what these do. If they do have some, take them over for yourself. Could be expensive in ships though.
[quote]The reason we don't have more game setup options is the cost of doing the UI and such (i.e. major pain in the butt to add stuff to the screens).[/quote] There are some very talented people drifting around the Metaverse. With, obviously a lot of time on their hands. Could you not point them in the right direction and get them to do the hard work? For free? I am sure they would enjoy it. :)
Thanks, LDiCesare. I think I can manage that. ;)
Will they go into the right file? If not, what do I have to do? No flames please.
I am getting bored with the game. Might try Civ3.
Me..4 But I am going to quit. Maso is not for me.
Thanks. I nevr researched Corvettes, because it was a dead end. I always went straight for Frigates.
Thanks fsk. I was in the middle of a game and not willing to risk messing it up. They might have been cheats of some kind. ;)
Thanks Qui-Gon Jinn. ;)
[quote]Press F9 - puts the minimap in the main screen.[/quote] I didn't know that. (:( Any other useful 'F' keys? Where are they listed?
[quote]I don't find them useful in their current incarnation. [/quote] I agree. I find it just as easy to right click the destination, then use that blue circle as the 'rally point' for other ships.
Try going back to the Autosave before the end. Re finish it and submit under the correct name.
[quote]But basically it is best to let windows handle this[/quote] I don't agree. ;)
Wittman. Increase the size of the Windows Swap File. That will cure your problem. Make it 3MB if you have enough RAM spare.
[quote]I've never used a colony ship to carry more than about 100-200 million people at a time. Is there some strategy I'm missing out on?[/quote] Yes there is. Use them to shift population from planets with a moral problem, to your best quality planets, to boost the population and production. This is not the right forum for tactics info. ;)
All these proposed changes to the game are very interesting, BUT.. I find it difficult enough, as it is, to work out how to play without a printed manual. If it was any more complicated, I would give up. I hate and ignore PDF manuals. They are too expensive to print out.
Didn't know this thread was still active. What is the problem Never Never?
How about your computer screaming everytime you un plug it?
[quote]Wow.. At least you have ppl come and visit you.. no one every visits me..(well hardly ever)[/quote] Poor old Blue Steel. Let's post Blueee's address as one where there is a free party. :) Only kidding. Those kind of parties, always end up as a riot.
I agree with what someone said earlier. What about planets and resources that can only be exploited when you have the right technology.
Wooohoo. I am in the top 100. :HOT: No extra medal though. :(
