It is Neutral as in completely neutral, isolationist.

Suggest you read the happyness description next time.

"Populations prefer that their race is left alone and scorns all treaties. They respond poorly to any"

I understand that.... now. But when I first read that they responded poorly to any unusual events, I was thinking along the line of "random events", not things like colonizing planets, building ships, and normal "empire building game" management. Also, I shyed away from the peacefull choice because it stated responds poorly to wars, not the more correct "new wars" A current war has no impact, it does not read that way. I had thought just being AT war would strain the happiness. (every turn)

Like I said, this is my first game. and it is not common practice imo to have to check data files for details when starting your first game. that is what tutorials are for, but this info is missing from that.

I got to looking at the direction i have brought this game, and I think a re-start with a new race is going to be the best idea. there were other game setting that I would not make again either.
Not that I can't play this one out, but it goes against my play style. All is not lost, I am much wiser on settings and other in game affects and effects.

I also have great frustration in using the search function. All too often, I get 300 search results that are not quite pertinent followed by no results after narrowing the search.

I don't know what to do about it other than whine, so

If you're actually -fighting-, it does.

EDIT: well, if you loose anyway. Or loose a lot of ships.

Fantastic. Thanks again for the ctrl-f search idea. It at least works.

Now, if they would just add an ascending/descending display choice to profile prefrences I would be estactic. lol

At the very bottom of the page there's a link for "Printer-friendly view of this topic." That will display the current page in a descending format. Unfortunately for you, you can't make that the default view. But most of us have gotten used to the format of new Posts at the top - and at least some of us have started to like that format. This way you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom of a page to read the one new reply on an old thread...
