Re: No travel for me

You can also build a station around a planet w/ unknown items on it, they will slowly increase the exploration level over time. Useful until you research advanced exploration modules.

RE: Couple design questions

<t> For deep space refueling stations, try varying the role of the structure. I don't think a monitoring station would get regular fueling runs by freighters...but maybe a Starbase role? You can still put your LR scanners on it (assuming that is what you're using a monitoring station for). (Just get...

RE: Help with transition from Pre-warp to middle game?

<t> Advisors suggestions are great for reminding you of things that you might otherwise forget. As for the popups, try going into options-->message settings (bottom of options panel as I recall) and you can tune whether to get popups or scrolling notifications. Not sure if those pesky defense base s...

RE: Steam Screenshot Function won't work normally

Same thing with my streaming software (Xsplit) --- it captures the main game screen, but none of the pop ups (events, design screens, etc.). Using screen capture is the only way to stream (that I've discovered at least)

RE: Distribution of races at start?

Caught that little tidbit in Larry's Lets Play I think...episode one, the setup video, highlighted that. It can be found on the other empires page setup, one of the dropdowns :)

RE: How to upgrade to Universe - Get your discount!

All sorted out---customer support working as quickly as usual! Thanks (and yes, I noticed after CustServ got back in touch that I could have checked the coupon amount before claiming--good advice to those wondering).

RE: How to upgrade to Universe - Get your discount!

<t> I just went into members club, and only Legends and Return are listed. I clicked the register game link on the left, and tried to input my base DW serial # in, but it says I am already registered....don't want to lose out on $20 coupon...can someone verify that I don't have to have all 4 listed ...

RE: Missionless mining ships

Just a guess? Go to expansion planner and sort resources by empire priority? Are you short anything? If not, maybe the civvies think your economy is covered?

RE: Pre-warp Human Revolution Let's Play

Persistent buggers, aren't they? They cannot keep a fleet alive...but they won't accept peace either!

Love the videos as well (and your EU III series too...looking forward to EU IV as well!)

RE: Pre-warp Human Revolution Let's Play

Nothing like catching an entire fleet with it's pants down (out of fuel!) Surprised they're not suing for peace now?

By chance, do they have "spend most time at war" victory condition? Might explain their propensity to enjoy war!

BTW, the "independent" ship you spotted might well be a pirate smuggler as a ship from a true independent world. More likely, maybe :)
