Thanks guys, been playing a bit lately (in between diaper changes, lol) and have taken a liking to having 4 AI's and 10+ neutrals on a high/max bonus setting. Been fun seeing the Flora and the Tesselite duke it out while I try to protect the neutrals. (nasty AI's those).

Couple of other Modding Neutral Threads:

Neutrals Building Repair Ships
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...193;p=2#000019

Maybe a Neutral that built fast very strong drones that could reach anywhere in one or two turns. This combined with an active warp mining activety could be nasty.
I always wondered what a Neutral would do if it had warp point openers. Imagine if it spent the game making random warp point connections?

Thanks guys, think I'm going to do some minor modding (provided my daughter stays quiet for a bit )

Also, there was a beautiful shipset ages ago that I can't quite get ahold of, the Solarian Kingdom. Every link I try seems to be dead.

Anyone have a copy they can throw on PBW for me to download or email me?

How does the AI handle one way warp-points?
Is there any way to have Warp-points start in the same space as a planet all the time (or asteroid etc) without manually editing the map?

Using the Map editor you can create one way warp points. A devious map maker can create warp points to systems with no exit.
