Great! I feel it's private corporations that'll get us to space in the long run, so I like using merchantilism as a special government for Humans. Now I'll know how to do it with Legends with the new guide.

Best regards,

Thanks. Now I can assign all those lovely resource bonuses and actually know what values I'm putting in will do what. [:)]

They don't build those Star Destroyer reactors like they used to. [:D]

Glad to have you back online, lordxorn.

Hey LordXorn, I do not have the heart to tell IGard the power failed on Romulan DiLithium Crystals, do you?

Is it possible to design custom galaxy maps? I can't see this listed in the guide.

Hey Erik, for some reason the link isn't working for me to download the modding guide. Is there another link or am I doing something wrong? I can save it as a HTML but it won't open and I can't seem to save it as a PDF. I've got all the adobe products and readers installed and updated. Any clues why I can't seem to save and open from the attachment link?

Thanks for the help and the Guide :)
