<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Still doesn't explain why the pirates didn't just settle down on some planet, but..oh well.. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> I would search explenation for that in their "culture". They didn't settled down on planets because they believed that their destiny lies among stars......

999k Seriously, this is setting that fits me most Than You really celebrate each scientific discovery! I will add that I don't play Tech oriented races - I prefer economy oriented

<r> I can not answer Your questions regardles automation, but I can give You tip that will make retrofiting a lot easier and less painfull. Hope it will be helpfull.<br/> <br/> On top of screen You have many icons. One will be about "Military Ships". There You can just check every ship You have (Shi...

<r> For me that is extremly easy question <E>:)</E> Thing which I love most in DW is to look how galaxy is becoming more and more alive when empires are developing (all empires - mine and AI's). To be more precise - I just totally love concept of private sector and how I can not directly influence i...

<r> Wow... That is interesting <E>:)</E> I also feel that certian races are more powerfull than others, and I like it. I would say that most of time we can speack about major empires and minor once. But I do agree that most important factor seems to be pure luck. Actually it is eoung that one race w...

<r> Resources on planets are infinite (beside special event telling You they got exhausted) - I am telling it to You just in case You are affraid those percentages will drop to 0% and resources will disappear. So don't be affraid of that - not going to happen. Not that way at least.<br/> <br/> So wh...

Oh... You just select said planet, goes into "Facilities" part (or buildings) and there You click on Hidden Pirate Base. Normaly You can scrap Your own buildings, but with pirate bases - You get attack option.

You are welcomed. Glad to hear problem is solved

<r> 1. Check how high are taxes set - make sure to set them to 0% to not add more unhappines than it is already.<br/> 2. Check if there are bigger and better developed colonies in the same system that belong to same empire as recently conquered planet did - point is, You should start conquering syst...

Also, tell us how high are taxes, and how many planets are taxed at all - it might be good idea to tax Your most populated planets even up to 35% (if they are maxed) or higher (if morale does allow it).

<t> It means that any ship produced by You from this Space Port will start as automated. We are talking of course only about State ships. Private are out of our control anyway - whether space port is on auto or not. Also keep in mind that Construction Ships or Colony Ships are build by planet, not b...

Yes. They pay goverment for this. To be precize, they pay for resources which happen to be always property of goverment in this game.

<t> Yes Timotheus. That is working 100% as intended. Mining Station is somebody's private buissnes. You, as a rulling body of Space Empire are simply sending that somebody message "According to new regulations, Your mining station must be retrofited to match XXXXXX desing, or will be closed." It is ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: JCVocke<br/> <br/> I will only ever support there being fewer playable species if the game allows you to have more empires than there are species. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I think Endless Space did that. I would have a game with 4 different Amoe...

<t> Majority of population is what determines resources bonuses. If You have 4 diffrent races on one planet, only the most numerous one is important. As long as You provide resources for this race bonus, entire population will get it AFAIK. I may be wrong about that - if so, than as always, I am ask...

<r> Hmm... Once upon a time... In age long, long forgotten - people call this ancient time as "Vanilia Distant World" - empires did not had any sphere of influence. In that time I played as Securans, and managed to colonise around one third of galaxy. My empire was kind of isolationistic, so I did n...

<r> I love to help others, so I will gladly help You understand everything, what I can <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> 1. What Darkspire said + development and culture are the same thing. 50% of total culture comes from population level (at 500M You get max culture/development bonus from population) and rest 5...

Tanaka - are You by any chances invading enemys homeworld, or bombarding it?

<r> Just remember - long range scanners needs large amounts of static energy, so You will want to put few solar collectors <E>;)</E> And bigger fules storage... And make sure that You will have at least one Ressuply Ship deployed over fuel spot (Hydrogen or Calson, or both) somewhere inside enemy's ...

<r> Hi mSterian <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> I usually start war in such situations. But prepare well for it - make Your explolers have long range scanners, put them in deep space betwen Teekans systems and than attack. You will see their military movments and so, even if they will be stronger You will know...
