About research:
I was thinking, can a race with every tech +75 survive in the long run? It gives a lot of points to spend elsewhere.. but will it be a hopeless race? Any one tried it?
Eg if I design a 2500, 15/9/25 factory JOAT race, I can get a lot of resources and good habitat. (and yes, be very vulnerable to anti-factory-bombing-raids..) At least the "All 'Costs 75% extra'" would apply to all fields.. Smile

Guess any SS players would be very happy with such a race in the universe though.. Wink

15/9 factories with 1/2500 pop eff is too expensive. Consider 8 cost to be the max with 1/2500. 7 is better.

All expensive *can* work, but keep in mind you're going to be very very vulnerable if you have an HP with all expensive. You're slow due to the low pop eff and need to build factories, and slowed further since your research is expensive. This means there'll be a long lead time where you can't attack, and will barely be able to defend yourself. Not for the faint of heart, or those who aren't willing to give diplomacy their all (and even then, if you have a rabid neighbor...)

If you condemn my race, what is the minimum number of cheap techs I should have?..

Weapons cheap is generally considered the minimum. I prefer weapons and con cheap as my default - battleships (and nubians) rock.

Another question:
If I play on a different computer, do I lose scan data etc? I played a turn or two on the computer at my parents house during Easter, and was later wondering if I had not visited a planet earlier or not.. it may be just bad memory..

You need to copy your .h file to the different computer, then copy it back. The .h file is where all the information you've found out on previous turns is stored.

Jesus saves.
Allah forgives.
Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich.
