That's what an open empire is. It is like a house which is always opened. Anyone is free to enter and stay as long as they want. When they feel they are ready to leave the house and tackle new adventures, everyone is free to do so.

[quote]What do you get from espionage that you find the use of credits is worth it and why? Not saying it has no use, I am just curious since the info esp gives is useless when I look at me so I have no idea why I would buy it about other races.[/quote] One advantage I personally like with espionnage is that it enables me to see AI's abilities percentages. For instance, if my next victim has 200% in weapons and 200% in defense, I know I better look for some of his military resource star

The AI already has some important economic and social advantages (pop growth, morale, production, etc...) at intelligent level. Add to that the fact they start trading a lot between themselves at that level, and you get an idea.

Those new space sharks (from anomalies) can be challenging. In my last game (tiny map), 3 of them were running lose on the map, having the time of their life. It's only once I was able to get a few frigates out that the problem was solved ;) The more I play this beta, the more I am impressed. I have never seen a beta so stable. This could be a final version, and no one would see a difference :)

If you are getting bored with a specific strategy, my best advice is to go up to the next difficulty level. I still need to get bored at masochistic :)

Here is another one. Sector with starbase, moved in transports and starfighters with no problem. Attacked orbit with starfighters, but when I tried to invade the planet with transports, I got the message 'The current position of the ship it out of range... etc...', which, of course, was not true, because of the starbase. Saving and re-loading worked though.

[quote]Yeah, the AI won't touch sub-15 planets,[/quote] I have seen it doing this on very rare occasions, mostly PQ14 planets on gigantic maps. Although, it might have been after a planet invasion, where the PQ dropped due to chemicals.

Thanks Ray :) Something weird just happenned. I was researching Dreadnought (still had a good 40 months on them), and invaded a planet. Successful invasion, program tells me I stole 'Cultural Focus'. However, I actually got Dreadnought completed. I have the save game right before the invasion if this would help.
