Don't forget to check the Newbie FAQ, which is stickied at the top of this forum.

It has lots and lots of answers in it and could save you some time when looking for answers.

I too heard about SEIV from the MOO3 site. This thread is exactly the one I wanted to post. Thanks for all the answers.

Fellow 'noob' and Moo3 reject.

The TDM-Mod. Set to high AI bonus and large galaxy. Get an enemy fleet of 80 dreadnoughts breaking down your door and laying waste to you. It keeps happening to me...

A bit off topic, but can anyone answer how I can increase the number of planets/systems allowed in game? I remember reading it somewhere, but can't seem to find it.

To increase number of systems: edit settings.txt file (in data folde). Max. number of systems is 255. You may need a bigger file of system names. Few mods have such files.
To increase number of planets: Easy way - use Fyron's mod

Hard way - edit system_types.txt file. It is a bit tedious but not really difficult.

FQM has a system names file with some 65k names in it.
