when it s time to build colonies even when under computer control i have to choose the type of the colony i want since the ai do not do that...and i have this other question...Is the king of colony i choose affect the game in any way ?
There is a setting to turn off choosing the colony type under (F11) Empire Status/Empire Options. When it's turned off, the AI will pick a type for you; you can change it under (F5) Colonies.

The colony type determines what facilities the AI will build there. If you aren't letting the AI make those decisions, the type doesn't matter.

If i understand well i have to turn off the colony type control to let the ai computer choose it !

Seems to me that its illogical (I m not a Vulcan.. ) since if i turn off this feature it s under human control isn t it ?..then i have to choose the colony type instead of the computer...I m confused now ...

Well Oleg ..Surprise..The Borg collective has made a trade treaty with the federation..and they have a brotherly mood toward me with a 30 % ratio trade..

Maybe this will make more sense. The option lets you turn off the dialog box that asks you to pick a colony type.

I always turn that off, because I can't remember what type I need without looking at my resource production and the planet's values.

i've found that just building according to the planets values gets you good production after a while. but then, i like large maps.
