It may take a turn or two for the effects to be felt..

Uhm, you're not talking about the destruction of the Eee, are you Phoenix?
Cause I don't think that's a big event, although I may use it as an excuse to exact revenge on their behalf

Hmm..say, if you opened a wormhole or something, wouldn't I see it immediately because I am ancient race? Do other players get notified in-game if someone opens a wormhole?

No, it wasn't about the Eee.

You only get told if I open a wormhole if you can see it (i.e. are in the same system). Ancient Race only functions to give you the STARTING game map, I think.

Revenge for the Eee? Not happening.

Oooh, you nasty fellow. I *do* know about the wormhole you just opened into the Wurtuy system. But maybe that's just by accident?
The Irrh-nur invited me (just in time I guess) to send a scout ship through that system, and though my ships is now (beginning of turn 89) in another system, it came from Wurtuy. So I guess that counts for being there to see the wormhole appear..

But I do recall a thread somewhere where people said that if someone tries to separate himself from the galaxy by closing all wormholes, you'd see it if you were ancient race.
Hmm...we newbies will figure it out as we go along I guess.

You think that's it? You ain't seen nothin yet.

I believe that you're only explicitly notified in the log if you have a ship or planet in the system that the warp point appears in, but if you've got that area of space mapped you'll see the line appear on the map regardless of your presence there. Since you're ancient race, you'll see all warp lines appear or disappear wherever it may happen. The same applies to planet creation and destruction, explaining how you could watch that Irha-Nrr Maker class ship chewing its way around the asteroid belt in Cetkirk excreting planets as it goes even before you sent that scoutship there.
