Well the reasoning by a few people were they might of been the problem behind constructor spam I don't know is that some people have a compulsiveness to do things that are on the game that they don't have to do. Now for the most part I find this fun, but they don't. Most of us play the game how we want.

Amdinistrators in 2.0 are only a snippet of the system, the rest comes with Crusades, I suggest you go read Dev Diary 4 it will bring you upto speed on what this system is eventually goign to be like.

Crusade?  You mean the expansion i'm supposed to buy?  Why would I buy it when I can't play the game now?  This "administrators" thing is a horrible idea.  I've just hit the arbitrary, random, nonsensical cap in my game and now that I know what it is, well, I quit.  I thought you were doing a good job making starbases usable, right up to the point where you wouldn't let me use them anymore.  

Why can't i mine these resources in an empty sector of the galaxy?  Oh, I guess my species has peaked at 20 minds capable of running a starbase, despite my massive and ever-growing population.  If people are spamming starbases and abusing the system, MAKE A ONE-ECONOMIC-STARBASE-PER-PLANET LIMIT and don't just randomly cap military, culture, and mining starbases just for the sake of making a rule.  Not to mention xeno studies.  Ugh.  

Really, this is an infuriating and frankly just upsetting change.  This absolutely needs an off switch, and a slider for multiplayer so people can decide for themselves.  Anyone know where it is in the config files so I can fix this ridiculous silliness?

RE: reading the dev diary - that's a nice suggestion, but some of us just want to be able to play the games we already payed for without embarking on a research project before we press "play".

EDIT:  The thing that I THOUGHT was going to happen was that starbases would be able to mine local asteroids and thus produce their own upgrades themselves, rather than having to send constructor modules from a starbase that might be a thousand light years away.  God knows where I got that idea, it's obviously lunacy i guess.

Exactly!  I guess they think letting people discuss and choose their own map-appropriate cap wouldn't be an, erm, strategic choice.   

Ok there mr patronizing, I asked where this was.  Do you know?  I used to be quite familiar with the config files in this game but things have changed a lot since last i looked and I know how many there are.

And I havent flamed anyone, I came to a thread and posted in support of it, and I threw a troll's inane comment back in his face.  If you've been where I've been you know how sickening this change initially seems.  You might at least try to answer my question instead of just talking as though I didnt ask it.

Thanks, Go4Celerity.  I could not offer the answer because I did not know the answer because I didn't need the answer and therefore did not memorize the answer.  I could only mention that it existed.  I do not do other people's net searching for them, which may be rude of me, but there it is.  Hopefully, Fragnafritzz will now be able to make the game do whatever is needed. Again, thanks. That is what community is for.

Well if I'm a troll it is because I am on these forums a lot. What is exactly trolling. If I'm not the troll I can't figure out who is; because I can't find anything trolling. I really think trolling is when someone says something someone doesn't like.

I am kind of fecesious when everyone thought constructor spam was a big issue for years when all along it was people couldn't controll their own maximising, and then when this should cause more dopomine in the brain was causing them to not have fun is the first place when I actually didn't care about starbase spam. Causing administators to be created when this is also not a big deal to me.

I do agree that we probably should have a pregame option to shut this off.

As far as crusades the only thing I think could have been made to make this easier is that you can now use citizens for administrationsl otherwise I have to agree that this is now going to get expanded upon. Oh yeah sorry if you think what I call posting is trolling. By the way I should apologise for this post.

Reminder: if you go up the government tech tree you can, indeed, get a ton of administrators. 

@frogboy Well, the problem is that for us vanilla players it forces us to buy the Crusade to get those extra admins. That, according to me, is not a fair deal, since galactic civ already has the most DLCs of any game I have (actually, several of the quite expensive DLCs are like free content/upgrades on my other games, the only DLC that may be actually worth calling a DLC is mayhaps crusade, but comparing to the price of the others, this will probably almost cost like a new game).

This i why I dont like it. According to me it feels abit like the Stardock is just trying to suck me dry by implementing it in the vanilla game and almost demanding that you buy the crusade DLC. Dont like to be played like that.
