Hi

I've played Space Empires for years and love the game, I was wondering if anyone had created a mod to do something this specific or if it would even be possible to do.

The idea comes from the 'cult' B-movie - The Cube.

Basically, when the game starts all warp points are random, there are no stable warp points. Every turn warp points randomly form, warp points between close systems are more likely than warp points between distant ones and close warp points are more likely to last longer.

I think this would really change the style and tactics of the game a lot, I'm not sure if

After 4 versions of space empires, I am highly disappointed in the current status of the game.

Many of the the options in this version does not work.
The game files get corputed after a few hours of play so you can no longer load them. Therefore you can never finish a game.

The AI even on hard never really presses the attack.

Even after several patchs and over a year since release, this game is still to bugged to truely enjoy.

Okay, here's an odd question:

Is it possible to change the font for only a single race? I want to use the Borak shipset because they resemble classic UFO Grays. I've found a font that look a lot like alien-crop-circle symbols and it would be swell if I could use it to rename my ships. I'd like to use it in a pbw game and not disturb the other players.

I'm going to guess the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask..

I've started game with two human controlled Empires. Created aliance. Then I've started new game, just from menu during game. Created new game with two human-controlled empires. And then I found some interesting thing - this empires wasn't in alliance at that time, but they shared system maps and technologies! That was treaty in alliance in previous game! But they don't share radars and communication channels. When they actually meet each other and tried to form new alliance - it wasn't formed! At least was no visibility of it, but they was still recieving bonuses from alliance treaties.

I have created several neutral empires, for sev. They work fine, except I end up with 2,3, or 4 of the same neutral empires during game setup. Is there a way to avoid this or specify the neutral races without having to make them regular empires.
