Seems it's a huge money sink and is never going to become much anyways. I don't bother settling it until I've made contact w/other races and there's a chance they may be coming for it. What do you all do with your "Mars"?

If I remember correct if you have the racial ability of +20% planet quality all the planets will read normally (class 10) but when you settle on one it would then read class 12 with 12 workable tiles initially. I really wish I could see yellow / orange / red tiles without actually settling & researching the requisite techs first.
I've researched some tech up to Terraforming and if I got it right it'll auto upgrade my planets... Terraforming is pretty deep down that branch of the tech tree. If you've gone that far and you don't have any new ships you can build you're seriously neglecting other technologies. Additionally, titles must be 'worked' in order for them to become usable. Doesn't take too many turns. The manual is incorrect too, on its description of the coloring of tiles by the way
Do military starbases attack ships within their range? I haven't built any yet. If so I need to get to building them!
Nothing's changed on my systems. All I've done is taken my laptop to work and back like I have several times this week. I get home and magically my desktop's MP icon remains black despite rebooting and reloading MP on both machines. Run thru the wizards again, no luck. Reconfigure both manually, no luck. Reset router, no luck. Set MP up as primaries on both machines and BAM it works again. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me where setti
Ok I have fooled with this a bit trying to re-create exactly what's causing this but I'm scared it'll quit working on me again. Here's what I've done. All these things may or may not need to be done but I've re-created this 2 times in a row now. Both machines have MP configured as primary and they're both looking for each other as secondaries. This wasn't enough though. I put my desktop (the one i want to be my real primary) back to secondary <STRON
Well I got it to work... with both machines set up as primaries. WTF man?!
This may be of interest: My laptop is my secondary, my desktop is my primary. I figured I'd swap em and report the results. My desktop is the one with the darkend MP icon (disconnected). When it was trying to find a secondary machine it would get about half way through the connection progress bar and quit - looking like a successful connection if I remember how it's supposed to go. When I tried to make my laptop the primary and connect to the de
One thing to note: since it was a new PC I downloaded the most recent version of MP (which may or may not have been a newer version). Regardless, I've reinstalled on both machines without result.
I am having this exact same symptoms. I'd been using MP just fine for months until I built a new machine - my primary, installed MP, and now my PCs can't see each other through MP. All other networking between the 2 PCs is fine. My router is a Linksys WRT45G as well. I had not changed any settings on the router between the time I built my new PC. I made sure all the IP settings were correct in MP. I did a full reset of the router an
