If it's a Balance Mod game, a losing AI should consider making a "Ceasefire Agreement" which usually consists of paying the stronger player a small resource tariff each turn - but it's race dependent to a large degree. You can try asking for a basic treaty such as non-interference or non-aggression. They should accept particularly if their mood is shown as terrified.

How would I "get them into the mood"? I have options but I'm not sure which action I do makes them more scared or angrier. Is a show of force sufficient? or do I need to lay siege and/or proceed to glass a planet?

I got a capital ship missile to the face from a supposedly nonoperational missile launcher. =( 88% damage and it still got off 3 shots, enough to cripple my carrier, the FS Foch.

Has anyone ever managed to get the abbidon or the terrans as computer players? I've been playing on and off for several months now and I have yet to see them.

I have my own random question of SEV.

I have tried to amend the data file which sets out the various design types (attack ship, defence base etc etc).

I have found the file (using explorer) and right clicked to open it, have made the amendments I want but when I try and save it, it says path not recognised.

Any ideas what this is? I am on Windows Vista Home Premium, and all I know about computers is how to turn them on and hit them when they go wrong.

If you installed the game to the default location (Program Files), you will have to run apps with elevated admin privileges to write to the folders. The easiest solution is to move your install to another location, such as C:\Games\Space Empires V\. You don't need to reinstall or anything, but you might want to update your desktop/start menu shortcuts.

Veggie Tales have talking vegitibles. Does that turn people into Carnivores?

Nah, it turns them into fungivores.

...And if you eat the wrong one, you're not much of a fungi.

Or you're 'having-to-much-fungi guy'.

Is there anyway to reload ordinance in combat? All of the strategies have it set to true, but I never see it happen.
