Jubala:
Havenīt used very much your files but until now it seems that itīs the AI who's getting a fight of me and if they wanted any of the three i have contacted could make me dead meat.
I set a + or - 40 systems game with neutrals off and everything high to the AI. I have a good homeworld.
I started very unluck. For the first time I didnīt had ANY planet to colonize in my starting system. Two warp-points that lead to empty systems, one of them with the thing that magnetizes ships(donīt remenber the name). After that I encoutered a race in a corner, their home system, and there was 4 breathble planets, 2 huge and 2 large, unbelievele. But meanwhile i encoutered another system with two huge doomed planets.
I dicided to colonize the doomed first, but didnīt went to the borders screen,it was already claimed. I colonized one and came another race with two ships and kaboom. I have to say that i started with my usual tactic of building first 4 or 5 colony ships and explore with them. Well thatīs no more effective.Then I start sending colony ships with 2 or 3 ships and they always send more and better then I had.No alternative then abandon this system and unclaim it.
What's been saving me is that went partnership with the race who have the 4 breathable planets and i could colonize them. Now iīm at peace with all three and trying to make a fleet who's effective.
Itīs amazing the number of ships they have.
Next time i have to start with less computer bonus.
Itīs true that im not a experienced player with SE series, not even with SE4,(to be honest i spend more time reading this forum them playing, but if i have fun that way
)but the few changes you made, make a BIG change in how the game must be played, I can say whithout doubts.
Thanks for the mod.
