Ah Nuts,

I'm not sure I agree with myself.

Rather than risk arguments, accusations and strife, when somebody goes all out to research one of the colonization techs early, and everybody else’s suspects them of wrong doing, I reckon everything allowable by the game should be permissible.

Turn the options off but accept that ship trading is OK. I suppose this means that everybody’s going to get the three colonization techs quickly, which is a pain, but c’est la vie.

The tech trading should become less of an issue, but until SE5 it looks like were stuck with it.

I think this sounds like the best alternative. As stated, this removes the grounds for arguments and accusations. At least the only way to trade tech (including colonization) is to actually swap ships, which takes much more effort than just agreeing to trade a whole shopping list of technologies.

How about this: I trade a shipyard and a ship with all the comps I want to trade to you, and you give a shipyard and a ship to me. I use your shipyard to analyze the ship you gave me, and you use my shipyard to analyze my ship. Then, we give the shipyards back to the other party.

Here, we still seem to be waiting for the same bloke to load up his empire.

While we've been waiting someone else has joined, which is good, and has been sorted enough to get his empire up already.

Without being overly pushy, I am addicted to this bloody game, so is there a deadline before we start anyway.

He has been emailed to upload his empire, I shall wait a couple of days at the most before taking 'other' actions. Quite sorry for the delay guys.

So your choices are,

between living in a pLastic dome or an underground city on a planet with a hostile atmoshphere under the rulership of a human goverment you don't like,

or living outside on a planet where you can breathe the atmosphere, go for walks in the woods, skip through the meadows, swim in the rivers etc, under an alien government you don't like either.

I choose the 2nd option.

Assuming of course you had a choice. Given that Space Empires allows the forced migration of 100's of millions of people without any complaint, I don't reckon any of us get to considered beneficial rulers.

Maybe in the history books, assuming you write them
