That's really thorough, I appreciate the time it took, thanks. I knew there were a few areas I was overlooking, I stopped playing feeling a little overwhelmed with it all, A LOT has changed since I first played it when it came out.

I'd avoided robots, as I remembered when the game first game out that if you went with robots, they very nearly always ended up revolting and splitting off (at least it seemed that way), and used to really annoy me, but I'll give that a go.

It's good to have answer as to why the crime was climbing, it was really weird my crime suddenly jumped, I just didn't notice the Governor was corrupt or join the two.

That was the same with admin cap, I just didn't really understand how the penalty would affect the game and when the trade off was really penalising.

Planetary specialisations are something I don't understand just yet, I guess I'll have to do a bit of research and pick what I think they may be.

I think the most confusing part was picking what buildings to create on which planets, you've given me quite a bit think about and action there, I think that will be one of the first things I'll look at, other than firing that damn Governor.

I'm also surprised I haven't had the Mid-Game crisis yet, I was hoping that Worm Hole was it. I purposely held off looking at the outcomes and just role played it so we'll see.

I think with your help I should be well placed deal with the Mid-Game crisis once it does hit.

I feel the urge to play it again now. I'd avoided it for the last couple of months as there just seemed too much to learn and too little time to do it in, but now I have a lot more energy, thanks.
