1) Yes. Oh, and then I act the part -- BEING mega-evil. If they're going to accuse moi of being such a threat (sometimes before I've even fired a shot), well, I'll give 'em something to talk about...

I tend to wait until MEE is declared before ramping up the cruelty level -- such as using biological warfare, engine bombs, heavy use of napalm, atmosphere bombs, and so forth.

2) Haven't bothered to change it. I'd be inclined to increase the 500k to something like 1-1.5 M, 'tho, because I usually play 255-system quadrants where 500k comes pretty early, expansion-wise...

3) Only, methinks, if you lose MEE status.
