No, he unlocked them through modding.

 Nice dream destroying there 

Perhaps solitary path is bugged still and gives you the sps anyway, 75 for every ai on map, or something like that.

Or you had a supply pact with a tec loyalist, which would give you 150 + (150*15%) = 173 sps.

Besides, he has concluded, not remembered, that he had no active pact (so I was...) which makes the assertion a bit dubious. Not that I am questioning it, merely explaining the multiple possibilities in the reply.

actually i played the game against single AI - TEC Loyalists

I suppose that this (with an indeterminate article) might mean that it was a 1vs1. Without, not. Always difficult to tell the meaning with the general use of english these days.

I suppose it may be a malfunctioning with solitary pact: after all vasari shouldn't be in the game, so perhaps the mechanics are not properly working. For example there might be no way to identify a vasari loyalist faction to adjudicate the bonus yet.

Just a guess. Remember articles, they are your friends!

To answer your question, Timmaigh, I must ask you a question. What type of fleet supply did you chose during the setup phase? Small, normal, or large?

While playing the Advent, I had; for small, the max supply was 1,500; for normal, the max supply was 2,000; lastly, for large, the max supply was 2,500.

Since you do not say "I researched Phasic Transmissions," I am going on the assumption that you did not research it.

I would think so too - seeing that the race is unfinished, there are bound to be bugs (thus somewhat wasting time.) I do have to admit, however, that some bugs are easy to overlook and attention needs to be brought to them - for example, while playing as the Vasari Rebels, warping in a starbase into a gravity well that already one of your own starbases crashes the client.

There's small, medium and large, so if you had 2500 on large with phasic transmissions researched, it's very likely that the tech doesn't work yet.
