Thanks for the replies, folks. I'm so grateful, here's some more questions! :) 9. How long should I expect to wait before enemy planets which are rebelious (>4.0) finally join my side? I've been waiting on some Drengin worlds for about 30 turns. 10. Is the Mind Control Center broken? Even after I built one, rebellious planets weren't joining my side immediately. 11. How do spying bonuses affect anything? I'm not aware of any die rolls in espionage. Do spying bonu

Sole Soul, 5 -- That makes sense. The dreaded "greater than or equal to" bug strikes again! It's usually no big deal, but I've seen an Iconian ship go into low orbit to repair some scratches on the paint and come out with something like 120/95 HP. (Not that I've been abusing this little bug, no not me)

Thanks silver! 1 -- With regards to the terror star, the "intelligent" Drengin just sat there and drooled until I blew up their home star system. THAT got their attention. :) 4 -- Bummer! I like those moral quandaries...but I like the bonuses from declaring ethics too! 5 -- Actually, I did ALL those things you mentioned. Quite a few of my Iconian medium ships have over 100 HP. I just thought it was weird to see a fractional display of HP greater than 100%. <

Some of these might be bugs, some of them might be intentional by design...but I figure there's surely people around here who know better than I do! Sorry if any of these are already dead horses...I tried to stay away from stuff like multiplayer. :) 1 -- I built a terror star next to the Drengin home star system. It sat there mobilizing for 10 weeks, and they didn't lift a finger on the "tough" difficulty. Granted, we weren't at war, but if someone was building a gigantic death ray

After the Council votes on a bill, you get to see that pie chart of how the populations match up. How about some graphic to show how close the vote was? Or perhaps who voted which way, such as brightening some of the colors in the pie chart for "yes" votes? Purely asthetic and unnecessary eye-candy of course...

I just finished a game as the Arceans...medium galaxy, common planets/stars/etc, masochistic. At one point I got caught unprepared for war with small low-tech ships. Within a month the Thalans had uncontested space superiority, and they started invading my empire with transports. My space cannons and soldering techs kept them from capturing a single world long enough for me to turn out some ships with my latest techs. My medium ships (stellar forge, extra racial HP picks, ext

Here's a few noob questions for anyone with time to kill. ;) Is there any way to upgrade a ship other than "buying" the upgrade in space? For example, can I send it to a planet and "build" the upgrade, similar to how it would work in MOO2? Is there any way to enhance a ship's repair rate, other than new techs or racial modifiers? 1 hp per week is fine and all for the little ships, but it seems like my bruiser ships in mid-game never get back to full strength before the next
