Inti,

Eeeewoooah! Yes..full the planet is! Eee-hee-hee-hee!

Ahem... ***slaps self and continues***

Yes...very true. I have encountered this situation in the past and felt the challenges that it can impose...depending on the situation. It is particularly brutal on neutral races...who sometimes NEVER colonize another planet...and as a result, languish on their tiny researchless little planet...and when attacked 30 turns later have only escort mounted DUC I's and CSM's for defense. Oh the slaughter...poor lil guys never stand a chance anywayz...but that's just plain cruel.


Just out of curiosity...there isn't any way to change the starting facilities is there? (Without mangling the tech tree n such, I mean) I haven't seen anything...but then again...I'm not very observant sometimes.
