Ah well that explains why I haven't run across them. As for capturing a planet, how do you do that? Do you need troops?

Yes. Research Construction 1, then Troops. You will need a ship with lots of cargo bays. Build a bunch of troops, load them on, and drop them on the target planet in combat. If you use strategic combat, you will need to assign the "Capture Planet" strategy to the ship design carrying the troops. This is done in the ship designs window (F3).

As I recall, you were looking at an older version there, when we discussed this last time on IRC, Fyron. Maybe from the geocities list or something.

Visit imagemodserver.mine.nu to get the latest stuff.
I'm fairly sure the v3.2+ stuff has 'em.

Something seems to be wrong with the DNS to imagemod, though.

No easy way to fix it from Amsterdam...

I don't recall seeing a 3.2 on there the last time we discussed this, which was quite some time ago. Did you sneak a new version on there?

What website are you taling about Suicide?

Do empires still get angry with you when you break a treaty?
In my game, currently, I have contact with only 3 empires(the other 2 having been wiped from the face of the universe), and I have treaties with all 3. I noticed a while back, before I had the patch, that when I broke a treaty with one empire and went to war, it pissed of the others I had treaties with. Does it still do that, or am I free to break relations and start raiding?
