It's only green if your empire color is green.

Oh, the shame.

This will allow stars to be destroyed. Neat. I'd just like to see how it affects the early game and exploration. Right now, they are SO FRUSTRATING, mostly due to both how common they are, and the fact that infrastructure and supply count them as a normal system, and there's no way to counteract th...

Maybe then we ought to have 'Heavy Asteroid Mining' - double output? We already have Advanced Asteroid Mining and Exobots, taking them up to 50 each, which is only exceeded by Deep Core Mining on Tiny worlds... which again aren't good places for Heavy Mining. And then there's the Mineral Rich speci...

Perhaps instead of "Resource Supply" it can be called the "Starport Range" meter [more intuitive] Except it's wrong. Currently, "Construction" refers to how far the colony in question can export goods; in-game, this is show as the solid colour over the Starlanes. My op...

OS: Win 7 x64
Compiler: Visual Studio 08
Just aiming to get the latest build.
