[quote who="Gauntlet03" reply="3" id="3657477"] Indeed. This is a annoying issue, but it is surmountable. [/quote] Thank you Gauntlet, that explains a lot about this issue. I have noted several others, including one in which certain parts will not scale at all when included in a custom part. I am more than a bit unhappy with this, but I guess I will express that somewhere else. Thank you again!
Update: the icon in the ship designer shows the distorted version of the ship as well...
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="3" id="3657132"] Please only report the post once. It may take some time for someone to take a look. [/quote] Calrification please: do we only report the thread once (sorry), or the individual posts under the thread more than once (I do not recall doing that, but slip-ups happen)? Again, my apologies, I've never done this before.
Thank you!
I apologize for asking what may be obvious, but I'm not a big forum-user and I can't figure out how to contact the mods about a troll problem. Would someone please tell me how?

[quote who="Jafo" reply="2" id="3656663"] Just to remind people...Yoda is a really bad excuse of a muppet...and not in any way real.

I grew up with Holocaust survivors; they didn't find anything at all funny about the people who murdered their families and friends and innocent bystanders and pretty much anyone with impunity. In fact, these Holocaust survivors were mostly educators, and I think they would be as offended as I am to hear you invoke the

Update: I feel like the prom queen, I finally have a UP! It took outfitting a special surveyor to find the last couple factions (and discover my game has no minor races at all!). Thanks to everyone for their help! I guess this falls under 'weird things that happen in big games.'
[quote who="Syrkres" reply="9" id="3655631"] What would be nice if when prompted one option was to "complete" this turn's move because I believe right now it completes other factions turns, THEN moves your ships their remaining moves (this often gets my ships killed)...

[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="3" id="3655263"] However, the evidence we use now for detecting black holes does not guarantee its a black hole, it only means there is an 'effect' which 'may' be a black hole because we lack knowledge of what else may do that...

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="5" id="3655269"] In AP you get 2 shipstyles, Drath and Korax. [/quote] Sorry, I meant you get one more ship style than you did in Rise of the Terrans, which was one.
The new components and improvements in Lost Treasures makes little play difference, especially in large games. However, it has new colonization events, and it really adds more flavor to the game, what with the secret weapons and special facilities. I recommend it if you enjoy the, er, 'role-play' aspect of the game. If you just want a different play experience, it may not do much for you. Rise of the Terrans is ok if you like building ships (like me), but most of the focus is
By far the best DLC is Gauntlet's Race Mod. It includes 20 new faction, with 18 new unique ship styles (they are beautiful), and 15 new minor races. It also includes other mods, but that right there makes it the best DLC ever. And it is free! Seriously, I feel some of the (Stardock) DLC are weak, and opportunities to make them stronger were not taken. In fact, they have gone downhill. Precursor Worlds and Mega Events were excellent. More recently, Rise of the Terrans was a th
