Don't know how much it matters, but for some reason. If you connect using the Multiplayer tab from main menu. Which you have to give your ip to do btw. You can upgrade starbases in an mp game. The game doesn't run at warp nine for the first five minutes. It seems to be much more stable than ICO. I think some issues are side effects of alloy. I don't use it. I followed the Monks guide back in febuary of last year. No problems to date. Also haven't had very many issues with mini dumps or dysyncing. Wonder if the two are connected.

To the Monk if your still about:

Again thanks, I'm swimming much better now.
