I love the new added ship sets. All my favorites: B5, StarWars, SG1, StarTrek. They add a whole new dimension to the game and I can't thank the creators enough for allowing others to share in their work. Great work guys! Bravo and Encore!!!

Now to the issue. I'm running the stock game and installed most (if not all:) the available ship sets. I have the game set to allow me to always see all the other empires for comparisons. I've noticed that some races will be stillborn. They don't do anything... They don't build any ship or
research any technology. When I finally find and invade them, they don't form a single defending unit. They just sit there at max population and do nothing.

So Im now playing SEV with latest patch and Devnull mod.
this mod is indeed a great one cause it makes the AI smart (i'm not even 1st on score).
the problem is, cause the AI is so smart and it has many units, the time between turns is rly big (like 2 minutes each time).

Im planning to upgrade my PC. currently it has a Core 2 Duo and 3 Gb DDR II. ill replace them with a Core 2 Quad and 4 Gb DDR III.
so the question itseld: how faster will it get when I do?

Hi everyone,

Getting started with one of my favorite empires - the Colonial Dawn - using 1.74 and BM 1.17. For those unfamilar with the Dawn, they're human. The rest will unfold in the story. For those who've read my first "Dawn" story you may see some familiar names, but I'm consciously trying to avoid repeating too much. Anyway, you aren't here to read background, so please enjoy "Dawn, again".

Bespin system...onboard CDS Ajax...

In another couple of days, the first of the Dawn ships would reach the Rhendor warp point. A frigate class, her completion was delayed until missile ranges could be improved. Ajax was the first of two system defense ships. Admittedly a stop gap measure, her role was to augment planet based fighters with colony defense. She would also be able to map out the system, and her sensor array could monitor warp points for intruders into the Dawn systems.

Hi Guys

Im new here - just got the game off steam.

Unfortunately, I cant play it because the screen flashes white repeatedly, like someones sat infront of me doing flash photography.

I searched the forum and found quite a few other people have had this problem in the past, but none of the solutions suggested have worked for me.

I have Vista 64, a Q6600 CPU and an 8800GTS GPU. I've just tried to update my drivers again but everything was already at the latest version, and all windows updates are installed.

Ive tried different resolutions (usually use 1600 x 1200), Ive tried dropping to 16 instead of 32, and I've tried closing all other apps and background taskes.
