wow, started playing this yesterday...very addicting...

i started out in a neutral very dense galaxy with 7 peoples....and now, after about 1200 days i'm regretting it a bit. i've only found a few colonies of theirs, they're likely on the other side of the galaxy...

though i'm currently playing without the patch (wanted to get a feel for the game first), noone should be a real threat. i did make the mistake of underequiping my ships with just one weapon (it was the black hole generator thing...i learned its not too good), after getting in a fight and loosing a ship (which i could have avoided easily if i knew what i was doing....it was 3 meduim ships vs my underequiped 2 large) , i backed off to my nearest dockyard and upgraded to a nano thingy that seems to be much better...

i'm loving the customization of ships, most of my ships are colonizers (i named them 'gaia', though with the advent of war (and the fun large type), i developed an invasion type and assult type. i've shot ahead of everyone in colonies, and easily have more tech (i'm the lizard people....and i've found lots of ruins)

the game's quite fun...i expect my next game will go much more smoothly...i think i'll make it just a dense universe with max people and hostile mode...

nvm.....figured out soon after that you could attack the planet....heh, the damn people i'm fighting are nearly defeated....i've taken most of their colonies and obliterated their fleet (they made a last stand of 4 mediums vs. 2 of my lesser larges meant to guard their path to my worlds....) they did some damage, but nothing major. soon, i'll be getting my first wave of gigantic ships, then the galaxy will be mine!

My aplogizies as I did not read this long thread, but I wanted to mention that there was an upgrade ot this game designed to make it more difficult. The original is pretty stupid. You can use the "disarming" guns (whatever they are called) to remove all the weapons form enemy ships and they don't declare war!

Anyway, just tossing that out. Great game otherwise!

There are two patches. One makes AI opponents more aggressive, but the other does improve the way the AI "thinks."
