'Nuff said.

<t> Your ship (and station) sizes are restricted by your Ship Yard tech, I think it starts with ships @ 230 and bases in the 670's Get the Yard tech up and your capacity (once you've upgraded the Bases) increases.<br/> <br/> That's a tricky one, I've managed it, and I've lost Constructors. I learned...

<t> I'm not sure I understand the confusion here. Granted, I'm new to the game, but you seem to be asking if the "Bridge" and the "Duty Free Zone" benefits stack?<br/> <br/> Command Center = Bridge of a Ship (or ops center on station)<br/> Commerce Center = "Shopping District" on a station.<br/> <br...

So you can only use it to select screens then.

Yes, because pretty much everything else already has a hot-key associated with it. Mouse-over the various buttons and it'll tell you what most of those are.

<r> Chris H: You simply have to give us information to work with. "I don't have any money, why?" (and repeating this later) tells us nothing. Give us a general idea of how you play. Do you build a Spaceport at every colony you start? Do you like to have lots of Cruisers in a fleet ready to rush to a...

<t> Not 100% certain if there was a previous pact, or if it was a 'bribe to go to war', but in my last game I declared on my neighbor only to have the only other Empire I'd met send me a message to the effect of "So-and-so just convinced us to declare war on you, so sorry..."<br/> <br/> Still way to...

<t> Every time I start the game Windows asks me (with a pop-up panel) if I should allow it, even when the game's set to run as Admin, and regardless of how many times I tell it 'yes I know this program'. How do I get this to stop?<br/> <br/> Can I set up the game to start w/o that auto-updater thing...

Nice set of ships!

Is it just my imagination, or is the Sm Freighter bigger than the Medium Freighter image? Does this hold true in-game?

<t> How does one start a game with one colony, period? I think one of the "quick start" options has a setup like this, but it does NOT allow me to choose anything else, something I frown upon in my 'empire games'. I've tried the expansion slider at the far left, yet when I start games I've had anywh...

Um, the unit of currency in Eve-Online? Perhaps something in the real world too, like that would matter [;)]

<t> I remember a 'set' of games way back when, at the dawn of the PC age, that were going to go under the broad label: Interlocking Game System. The idea was to have a seperate game for each aspect of an over-all campaign. Something along the lines of what the Total War series does with it's turn-ba...

You aren't fooling anyone.

<r> I've started looking at Matrix first for any 'gaming itch' I develop, as I've come to realy like not only the staff (actually active in the forums, ect) but also the simple and useful Member's Page. Until I came to Matrix, registering a game mostly meant someone else had my E-mail to spam my in-...
