Hmmm, another question on this in 10 mins. Anyway Im guessing but I think because Minor races only have 1 planet and they are usually full of there own ships, the AI has knowhere to put them. They also might not have the range to get the ships to them. (Im guessing it is the first one though) The minor races won't try to attack another colony, they will send out a few ships to attack shipping though.
1 or two things are going on, the race does not have range to make it back, or move the ships. Or the one planet they have is FULL. Or it might be a combination of both.
Oh yeah I have you beat on the I was researching Beam weapons and I trades someone for Singular IV and when I designed my Newest ship there it was the NANO RIPPER. My jaw dropped off the map as I saw these things. I loaded up (I was not even mid game in bg way) I made a Medium size hull with them on, and it almost beat out my Precursor Ranger I had. Then I made a Large hull version (extremly expensive to built theough for the time) and that
Yeah in my last game I played every ten turns I was given a Pre Cursor Ranger. (had the lucky trait) which was not bad since I needed them to survive. But one one of my Rangers had 130 hit points (started at 50 I think) another one was around 110.

Ah ok, is that the only time you can do that? Cause that sounds very expensive. I never have more then 2000 Anyway. LOL. Always usually just make a whole new ship since that seems to be quicker then trying to make good money, then upgrade existing ships. + the bug where you try to Redesign an old ship, and you can't get the old parts off is annoying. I know the work around but it still a pain to find all the parts manually.

Nope I have the patch installed and at the bottom of screen it says 1.02D/ADDON or something and I don't have anything called special Stucture in the list. only three List subjucts under the structors tab for me. Do you have to put you CE number into the game for the Special Jewlery to work? I have not even opened the box yet, so maybe thats the problem. I thought when you downloaded the Patch with addons they were automaticall
Yeah I received mine on monday too. Lucky I got the download version though. Week would of been real long if I didn't.
The eyes of Universe are useless now since in last patch they hard capped the sensor range. Why they did this is beyond me. Oh I know cause everyone was shoving 10 Sensors into a Cargo vessel and could see the whole map.
Have never been that far in Beam before so not sure. They are cheaper though, maybe for some odd reason they scale and do more damage as they go up more? Really though surprised you been that high, usually buy the time I get to that point the game is over for me.. And the AI rules.

Is there a way to Upgrade all your ships at once if you want? Right now I have to select a ship and have it leave orbit buy itself and upgrade it that way. The manual says you can upgrade the whole class at once if you wish, and mentions that the best way to upgrade them is while they are in orbit of planet. Can't figure any of those two out. Not that I have enough money anyway ever to actually upgrade ships.
Yeah the whole production thing is very hard for me. I just played 2 Normal Difficulty games and I can't compete with the AI at all. Usually 1 guy gets huge and starts killing everyone. Seems if you do build a special planet you will never really use it all anyway. If you only have 40% into military then it will only use 40% of that planets ability. And to keep up with the AI you can't really have the sliders set one way very long. And
Been around game releases for a long time now. And alot of the complaining that goes on with the initial release happens to them all. So let me change the tone a little bit. Thank you so much for putting so much work into this Great game. I played GC1 and loved the Economic part of the game, didnt so much like the Combat part. (couldnt build ships) But GC1 was still a good game, on its own. I have played GC2 for couple nigh
