Wait a sec? You folks really think that I should have to mod it? What about MM? Don't you think this is an error and not a feature? 2000 racial points and I can still do this and flood the galaxy. A few - here and you can have this (what I thought was obvious) error and wreak untold havok in just a few turns.
hardly, first you have to have the resources to build all the stuff, and the tech to build decent stuff. you will most likely have neither since you blew all your racial points on zero maintnance, so you wont have very fast research, you wont have a high resource production, you wont have a high shipyard bonus, and you will probably suck in combat.
the big limiter to the flood-the-galaxy abilitiy (if you started in a low-population large galaxy where you had time to build up in the first place) is the recently fixed ship / unit limits. so no, i dont really think this is a bug. its actually kinda neat that you can choose to sacrifice everything else and not pay maintnance.
