Aha! I was right... and I bet if you "partner" with an Ancient Race and OMNIPRESENT VIEW is turned off, you won't get automatic exploration either... Personally I never use Omnipresent view, if I want to know what's going on in a system I should have to build a patrol ship or a sat or something.

I have never picked the Ancient Race because it doesn't seem worth the points but I did look at one of the neutrals, #6 I think, and they have the Ancient Race trait. Go figure. Maybe it is suppose to keep you from nuking them right away.

Andrey,

Why are you promoting that nonsence like its a good idea.

It's cheating, and it crap. It was cheating when I left the borg becuase of it, and it will always be cheating. And as long as players persist in that nonsence SpaceEmpires will always be useless for Multiplay.

Sorry for the rant,

Anyway, On topic.

Personally I feel that makes the game harder,

I use the map to tell where I've been and what I still need to explore, when I Partnership with a Ancient Race, Boom theres everything I get horribly lost

At least with SE4 i know which races not to ally with, in 3 it was random you couldn't tell.

I would prefer it if ancient race's could not share all the map, just the systems they inhabit.

It is useful in multiplayer as it is a great strategic (only one way to say it mr bush) value. But it a dangerous disadvante to other players.

It shouldn't be sharable in any form. only share the systems the ancient race has been in or is in.
