Re: Why do Neutrals build Open-Warp-Components
Is it possible to change these file for the Neutrals - just to prevent them from building sun destroyers and blowing their own system up?

wow, never seen them do THAT. I think neutrals have to use the default AI files, but you could change the default and then make a custom set for every other race. (even if it was just a copy of the original default)

Re: Why do Neutrals build Open-Warp-Components
No, I've never seen Neutrals blowing their own system up, but if they're stupid enough to build open-warp-ships that make work easier for their enemies, you cannot know for sure. Would be a cool act when surrendering becomes inevitable - blow 50 ships of your enemy in the air and leave nothing but a fat black hole...

Re: Why do Neutrals build Open-Warp-Components
The Big Business lobby forces them to do it. Says open borders are good for trade, and that no one would dare to violate their sacred neutrality, for fear of economic reprisals.

Re: Why do Neutrals build Open-Warp-Components
Um, actually, I think I remember seeing a neutral exploring other systems once. It was a 1.02 Version game, not the current 1.19; but I'm fairly certain I saw one of the neutrals out exploring other systems...

Re: Why do Neutrals build Open-Warp-Components
Is it hard-coded in the game that makes the neutrals stay in their own system? I don't want them to try to expand in every system, but it would be nice if they at least colonized two or three other systems right around their home system.
