i have a game ive been playing a long time 14.3 years in fact but now there is one
system i click on and it freezes up any help please i dont want to start over

I bought and played Space empires 5, and think that the AI players arent really difficult to beat.

Are there any good AI mods outthere? Can you give me some advice which mods are good for balancing and overall fun factor?

I bought SE5 because i am going to China to work there in Commissioning of a Plant, to have fun, but i dont have internet connection over there... (its some stinky and ugly village i will be living for the next 6-8 months)

The games that i will take with me are MOO2, Elite Frontier, maybe X2 if my notebook is fast enough, you know, some space games that will keep me busy when iam done with sight seeing.

Hi

I am currently having problems starting games with my version of SEV 1.58 with or without the BM 1.11.

At first I thought it must be my copy of SEV so I reinstalled it. But this did not fix the problem.
So I asked two other players to set up a game and see if they could get one going...they couldn't either.

We emailed MM and he seems to be working on the problem but I have seen that other have started game with 1.58 so I've been doing more messing around...to see what the problem might be.

I get the following message when I load empires into my games that do not come from my copy of SEV

I may be remembering wrong but I could have sworn I read that 1.58 was going to include a way to set which system an empire starts in. If I do remember that right was it removed or am I just stupid and not able to figure out how to do it?

Is there a way to inject or modify existing orders from the drop down menu, say from a ship?

In particular, I want to edit/modify the Open Warp point order. How and where are those orders executed? I'm assuming inside the game engine and not truly modable.

I've looked all over the place and haven't seen where one can even change the name of it (I've done settings and constants .txt files and it still didn't change the name of the order in game).

I think it is possible because the auto complete function in the ship creation screen is executed using that button interface and the execution script is written in the CSF files.

That may've sounded like a stupid question but hear me out.

I want to try and create a faction like the forces of chaos in Warhammer 40K. Anarchistic raiders stricking out of the "Eye of Terror". So as I asked... is it at all possible to code in a planet or other celestial body that can exist *statically* in a black hole system?

And as a side note, using a bit of creativity, can have "get_empire_tech_..." and the right scope to mean that they have whatever the tech leader in a given field has? (recial and unique tech asside)

Is it possible to have warp points that are only visible to certain sensor levels? Also, can a sensor have a variable scanning level at range? Example: sensor has level 10 scanning out to range 5, then level 9 scanning out to range 10.

i have the retail version up dated to 1.58 playing a game that im 14 years into.

i dont want to loose this game but i need to fix this bug anyone have any ideas
