Hey fellow emperors,

I was being an evil bastard, quickly reaching a much higher tech level than my AI opponents and using my knowledge to isolate their systems from the rest of the galaxy by closing their warp points, hehehe.
When I did this to a couple of enemy systems I proceeded to close all warp points connecting my enemies to my systems. Relatively quickly I was able to separate my star systems from the rest. That way I could work on building toward ring- and sphereworlds without being disturbed by enemy intelligence and attacks. However...
This is when the fun ended for me. Without apparent reason, one after another my planets started rioting! All of them used to be jubilant but quickly happiness degraded to the point where basically all my planets were rioting. This led to a great fall in resources, which led to the abandonment and destruction of my fleet. I have no idea why this happened but I'm not about to give up a 250+ turn game. I have a savegame from just before all this started happening. Is there something I can do to turn the tide? I'm even willing to edit data files, I just want to get on with my game

I've been playing SE5 without ministers for a while. Now I wonder which ministers make sense to use. "Make sense" means take away routine work and do it reasonably well (the ship design minister would be a counter example).
Does it make sense to switch ministers on and off repeatedly, and to use ministers during specific game phases only?
Is there a strategy guide addressing the use of ministers available?

So I got the following error when I attempted to start my last game up.

"The data files currently being used do not match the data files that were used when this game was started. Please check with your host to get the correct data files."

patch1.58/BM1.11

This is a solo game.

Comes up the same for all saved versions of the game. Same thing happened on a previous game as well.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Thanks,
chad

to all the modders of se5.

As you all are most likely well aware se5 and it's added spaceyards are all very nice and well designed. they're are plenty of star trek and star wars addons. On the other hand the're aren't very many other movie/tv ship sets out there. i have one request of the se5 modding community and that is i beg you to make a ship set that has the Andromeda and some other ships from the show in it. If a complete ship set is to much to ask for then how about just creating hte files for the Andromeda and i'll put the rest of the set together utilizing ships from other sets.
