Oleg,

>> That of course create error Messages. If you get latest Version, try to load one of my races (pequeninos, soul hunters or nostropholo). If you still have a problem, let know. <<

Your races work fine. It's just all the standard races apparently need to be recreated and saved. BTW, I'm using the latest Version 2.4.2 of proportions.

Pvk,

Thanks for your replies. I suspect that the problem is exactly what you mentioned, since the EEE and ABBIDON start on Gas Giants, they probably end up with more starting facilities compared to everyone else thus more research, etc. points. I'm not totally sure I'll mess with the colony ships, as I want to give your method a bit more time to grow on me, but I sure appreciate you telling me how I can go and adjust it if I want.

Thanks!
