Thanks guys, particularly Darvinn3 and SageWon. I upgraded to 1.15, my home planet works fine and with your help I conquered this map first time up. It's interesting to see that the black market is now part of the main screen and navigation feels a bit different but it's a vast improvement on version 1.0. Thanks again and I'm sure I'll be returning to this awesome forum again soon.

I'm having a real hard time trying to get a winning strategy for the Gaian Crescent scenario. Going broke seems to be the first hurdle.

There must be someone out t
I made an error: it wasn't Cynosuan Rift that I was struggling with; it was Gaian Crescent. It's very hard not to go broke in this scenario. You have to do two planetary devs just to stop your credits disappearing. After that, I'm at a loss how to continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [e digicons]:D[/e]
I'm probably in the wrong section but I'll ask anyway. I'm playing a solo game of Cynosian Rift and have tried several strategies, all to no avail. Can anyone help me with a decent gameplan for this map?
