Re: Race characteristics - what\'s hot... what\'s not

It'd be +35% for planetary SYs and +10% for ship SYs. I like to boost the construction rate, because the faster I can build, the faster I expand.

You're better off deciding what you will usually...

Re: Standard races

Well, I haven't really looked into it, but I bet you could start with one of the other 8, save your empire and reselect it later.

Might take a bit longer than grabbing them from wherever the game...

Re: Hot to invade a planet, HELP!

Re: Hot to invade a planet, HELP!

Re: SpacePorts + Research Centres: bug?

Well, what I was getting at was that it's supposed to work correctly, and has been for me. If it isn't for you, more info and/or testing would be needed to see if it's just a bug that pops up under...

I use 50% happiness and usually go with temporal tech. Not only do you get the faster build rate, the vacation service facility has double the effect of the other +happiness facilities.
