I haven't modded anything, and they love move 3 ships. Especially their carriers. All the races seem to use them. Late game in my most recent game, on an insane-sized map, and their ships generally were move 3, with a few that were move 10-11. Makes them easy to pick off, as you said. I've also noticed that they seem to attack once, then stop, even if they have move left over.

In my current game (Insane Spiral Map, Abundant planets, 15 AI including some customs, Gifted AI, playing as a custom race), I had a few strange things occur. Not necessarily bugs, though in some cases bad ones, and opinions on the way things have played out: 1) *some* AI's don't expand. Not sure why; AI focus? When I met the Humans and Altarians, I had about 100 colonies. The humans had 2 (Earth and Mars), the Altarians had 7. Several others were on par with me, but for the m

In my current game, the Iconians had gotten voted to host the UP, giving them a 50% bonus to influence. Next time around, as the head of the UP, I voted to repeal their hosting. They voted to repeal their own bonus.

1) Start a new game 2) In the Designer, obsolete the default colony ship 3) Colonize a world, choose Benevolent option 4) Choose Pioneering 5) Fail to get a colony ship

Strangely enough, started a new game, and this time (after finding and colonizing a world) I was granted it. Not sure what the difference was.

Took it as my first ideology. No free ship. Boo!

It would be a nice "quality of life" improvement, especially for newer players. As it is, starbases eventually get area-of-effect upgrades, and there are a few instances that can cause a new planet to appear, that might make your existing starbase placement non-optimal. It would be convenient to make small adjustments, at the expense of lost effects (i.e. starbase bonuses during the time of movement).

My apologies to start: many of these have likely already been reported. I'm playing on a huge (as big as it will go) map, with abundant stars, planets, etc., and common or occasional everything else. Slowest research (-50%) possible. Max races. Custom race based on the Terrans. General Experience I've only had a few crashes. Trying to load a game while in a game often causes it to CTD. I had one repeatable crash caused by an unarmed surveyor sh
