Yet another occasion of two ships occupying the same square. I was prompted "do you really want to move here and start a war?" I said no and my dreadnought was on top of the AI's stack. I have a save game and screenshot.

you select the ship and hit info
yup you gotta take care of them constantly to make them into friends. Or have a strong enough military and economy that they ate afraid of you. Or keep them at war with other AI's (by bribing them on the diplomatic screen to attack) so they are too concerned with the other AI to worry about you. Keep at it. check your diplo screen every 3 or 4 turns good luck!

take all military production bonuses and it can be it colony ship per turn
absolutely -- sorry I missed it. Rare is essential for speed games. Takes a little getting used to starting with 5-8 planets. haven't been successful with 2 or 3 yet. (actually, I have speen too much of my free time posting on the greenie thread in the other forum *wink*) [Message Edited]
shopping district is a module, a starbase addition. shoot, whoopi, the crosslinking of techs in the tree was just a recent addition! everything you ever dreamed of is here: http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/ cheers!
TheQuack -- strong moderate viewpoint -- thanx [quote] 1) If we make the reforms and they weren't necessary, we'll blow some government money and force some industries to shut down for no valid reason. 2) If we don't make the reforms and they turned out to be necessary... adios muchachos.

Theoden of Rohan -- I agree
I have a screen shot of a stack of constructors over the top on an AI ship, and a save game that shows it.
Vincable, I careful reading of my posts will not show that I disagree with the concept of climate change. my issues are with the misapplication of statistical data and the use of anecdotal data in place of scientific fact, the whole colored with a political agenda and a general Earth First moronic parrotting. I do not dispute such evidence indicating various temperature measurements have changed over thousands of years, or over hundreds of years, or between yesterday and today. <
Aaron, You can always win a culture victory as long as you can maintain peace with the AI's. Cheers!
" generally considered fairly good." -- pure BS you cannot get tenths of degree fluctuations (of atmospheric temperature) over hundreds of years from fossil records -- you get degree fluctuations (in water temperature) over thousands of years. again, you are comparing data of wildly differing resolutions as though they were equivalent. " Your own article says this effect may account for "as much as a quarter of all observed global warming." The other 75+% they leave to greenhouse
very cool, I enjoyed reading the summary, and I appreciate your style. As you saw, after the first rush planets can be acquired slowly, so consider not taking the speed bonus. It is only really valuable for the first 30 turns or so, and is very expensive.
Ginata well informed?? -- none of this is hard science. It's all rhetoric and phony statistics and studies pushed forward by self-serving pseudo-scientists with political agendas. you are talking about 50 millions years of current geo-climactic history by quoting small percentage changes over the last few years and extrapolating the changes over the next hundred. fer gosh sake comparing the last 3 years to the last 20 years is so silly it isn't worth mentioning. as is comparin
Matthew Downie -- thanks for the feedback. It is a little funny to skip all the *good stuff*, and I agree about being surprised at how little was necessary. Then I remembered the creators saying starbases and/or resources were an afterthought. About the overkill on morale, perhaps it it's a holdover from earlier styles where the economy had to be strong, so the morale had to be high. Further trimming is certainly possible -- I wonder how far you can go? If you don't build the morale imp
[quote]INFLUENCE RESOURCES, the most important acquisition in the game, most of the time. Military resources are next[/quote] Hehe you will find sirian and i disagree about almost everything except politics. I virtually never mine military resources, and only go for culture resources if I am specifically pursuing a cultural victory. On the other hand, Morale and Economy resources are essential for victory for most styles I play. Ray the Wanderer once told me he thought Research resou

Start wars much earlier in the game, and keep at least the top two militaries at war. I also like to mix up who is attacking whom, to help reduce the possibility of alliances later on by keeping the relationships between the AI's poor.
The sierra club used to be a terrorist organization. Now the Earth-Firsters are the terrorists, and the Sierra Club marquarades as a PAC (that's a political action committee for the west coast greenies). Don't believe me? Look it up. I personally know people who were maimed in lumber mill incidents caused by tree spiking carried out by card-carrying members of the Sierra Club. Ya wonder why ridicule is involved. There is virtually no hard science in so called environmental
Hermann the Lombard Exactly! just one terror star short mucks up the whole thing hehe. I just tried building 7 or 8 drones to explore manually -- too much work. I set them up in a pattern (depending on Eyes of the universe of course): 5 to the right (of the first sector line, 2 to the right, 2 to the left, 5 to the left, repeat. Ususally I try and start from both edges of the map and work toward the center, so they all finish up around the same time I am starting t
Ack! Two Verbs! Self-Reflexive Possessive! Can't Parse Sentence! Are they like the aussie boolerang thingies, they kinda cross over mid-flight and come back to ya? Aussie Rules Football Rules!
Nastavnik -- can't speak to the other two, but the terrorist event sounds right. The little corvettes are all called Die Humans!, and they are basically cannon fodder. the AI will virtually never accept a piece offering in my experience. There is no relation to your espionage spending IMHO.
At the top of the I-League trading screen it says Kilwasians: I-League
Hermann the Lombard, The technique is still valid. By the time most minors are ready to flip you can have party palaces and gift one or two to them. Wild Wombat - The score system seems to have been tweaked pretty seriously in the last two updates. I have no population, no serious tech tree, and I hardly have time to establish my alignment, yet I am maxing out (hehe that was a pun!) Oh, you know the individual scores shown at the end have nothing to do with metaverse
