I disagree. Creative is a fine pick for beating up on the AI, which is fairly passive and lets you take advantage of the long term benefits of the creative pick. In multi-player, however, picking creative will generally result in you getting steam-rolled by players that choose picks which offer a faster advantage (i.e. unification and lithovore).

Yep. I'm playing a unofficial Patch 1.4 which fixes some bugs remaining in 1.31

I liked the part where he was travelling home from a music rehearsal, and he dreamed up the anti-Orion Globe. :D Although, I shouldn't make fun of him too much, as I've written some lengthy articles on gaming, recently Team Fortress.

People mod everything. Any game that doesn't hardcore suck ass (and some that do) get their own modding community. I was recently amused to discover that Chex Quest had its own mods.

2. You research 1 tech at a time.

And that game freakin rules me still.
umm, the "upgrades" in the final patched version now refit to the newest design class so you can't coustomize the refits at all, and Creative is now more expensive.

Glad I didn't patch up then. I like having to specifically refit them. Although the latest shields and computer will still auto-upgrade the moment I open the Design or Refit windows. And the hull and engine stuff is automatic.

Of course you can still downgrade. Which I had to do once when my new Class III shields took up more space than I had and I wanted that Mass Driver to stay damn it!

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood
