<t> Heretic, Though shall be flogged in front of the entire court. Must play with every rule you can find and include 30 or so house rules. There must be a whole day dedicated to voting on the optional rules. It is a mandate to be played in this way. All other ways are wrong and the heretics will be...

<t> Shannon, Will the game auto update patches or patch when joining the community server or will there be a manual patch method? Hate it when everyone has different versions and spend an hour getting everyone on the same patch level? I am not so naive to think it will not be patched since this is s...

<r> Directly from the manual:<br/> <br/> Research<br/> Laboratories<br/> Research labs provide specialized facilities for<br/> scientists and engineers to investigate new<br/> technologies and design new components.<br/> Research is spread across four categories: energy, hightech,<br/> industrial, a...

Bump.

Also remember that Research Labs don't work on moving ships so you are getting nothing by putting them on Explorers which are almost always on the move.

There where no deals with Pirates. The report above states any expenses I made such as ship purchases.

On the base thing might try giving it away to a pirate or something then destroying it. Haven't tried this but I have given bases away.Didn't think the private sector made bases though. How would they do it without construction ships?

Erik if you look at my second post I am at 1.02 as well.

<t> I think the issue may be with ship maintenance. Not sure why it is so high per ship. In some cases higher than the ship value. I think 10-15% is sufficient for maintenance. Also while I agree you should get something from merchants for building their ships it does give a false sense of income. P...

<t> Ok uploaded files. Please look at the readme as it gives my perspective on what is happening.<br/> It has the following in it.<br/> <br/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Setup<br/> Galaxy Size Dwarf<br/> Alien Life Young<br/> Expansion Young<br/> Aggression Normal<br/> Research Speed Normal<br/> ...

What is the process to upload files? I don't see a sticky on it so not sure where or what I have to do.

ok Economy crashed again. Will write up my notes and try and upload the files.

<t> I will being duplicating this effort tonight. I didn't have any pirate alliances I dealt with them by destroying them. I had less fleet than what the game starts me with and I was doing fine up to a point. I will try and keep a save file for each year of play so I can map the progression. It may...

Oops yes I should have said that. I do have the patch 1.02 on as well.

<t> I have been trying to understand the economics of the game and it is baffling me. Every game I play I eventually end up in the red and can't get out of it. Recently found out about the F12 economic screen so have been trying to use that to gauge whats going on but the numbers don't add up.<br/> ...

Grumpymel Put one objective on each planet and set a objective limit. That seems the simplest thing. &nbsp;

<t> Also did you pull these ideas from Emperor of the Fading sun? Which is a roleplaying game as well as a computer game that came out probably 12-15 years ago. Loved that game but the AI was stupid. Would love to see the Imperial Eye put in the scenerio and maybe Imperial Fleet. I would also like t...

<t> GrumpyMel, could you post that really nice writeup you did as a post to this thread as part of the introduction to the scenerio (when you are polishing it). I just spent most of the evening trying to figure out how the landing stuff worked in the scenerio. I finally looked here to find that grea...

<t> Due to the pummeling that the US is gettting in the Asian-Pacific area and how close that the PDRC is to winning anyway the US surrenders. NATO also feels they do not have much of a chance of winning the war in Europe and also surrenders. A good game played by USSR and PDRC. In almost every thea...
