Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I've played about 3 or 4 games on Huge maps since Beta 2, two with all but turn-based victory options enabled and two with only Conquest, Alliance, and Cultural. It seems to me that the AI always goes for a non-conquest victory in these circumstances, considering in all three games I did not research any military technology or even build a single military ship. Even when it became very clear that I would win a cult

After building my first Colony Ship as Iridium, the normal population dialog popped up. I chose to cancel, assuming it would remain in the Shipyard after being built. However, upon ending my turn, the dialog popped up again, and this time no matter what value I chose, or whether I hit cancel, the dialog would keep popping up, making it impossible to do anything else.

I have found that the "Random" option creates many high-quality planets per star, I have seen many three planet systems and a couple of fours

Hello, Just got the Beta through Steam and played a game as the Altarians with a single standard-level AI Drengin. Here's some notes I jotted down as I played through. Cancellation of purchase of planetary improvements should return currency (it is still credits right? I miss the BC) but does not. Decommission of ships should do so as well Tech Tree -> Shield Optimization -> Low Cost only reduces cost 1%. The ot
