[quote]Star base phase jump charge rate could be permanently 700% slower?[/quote] +1!!

What about Orkulus could only jump while not upgraded? The only advantage over vanilla would then obviously be the build time others do need for a starbase at a foreign planet. Then replace Assault Deployment with another Tech... dunno what.

AI focuses on rank 1 player everytime. No matter what. So it's this "simple": cripple your eco by researching supply slots, give up planets (play VL lol), don't win too many fights - rather escape the unnecessary ones, in fact do everything, that keeps you rank 2. Or completely annihilate zombie AI. For some reasons i would want the AI surrendering more often / alot sooner because I am quitting any AI game, when I am clearly winning and only grinding remains.</

Yep, 8 should provide 16

The AI -only- (by saying only, i mean only) attacks me, if I am retreating all ships from the front planet. And he instantly attacks then. Without scouting. That applies to any difficulty. The AI ability of microing ships in combat is extremely inferior compared with those of humans. That making 1v2 fleet fights extremely easy. Also numbers are the important point of AI's "to fight or not to fight?" - research, ship abilities etc. are nearly totally overlooked. And

point 1 sounds nice. point 2 is insanely stupid. destroy all capitals and he has to surrender. this sounds like an emo rage kid nerf cry.
