Try zooming in. That is what the map looks like when zoomed out. There is a setting that changes at what point of zoom you change from tactical (with the nice pretty graphics) to statigic (what you have).

Alright, I will defer to your knowledge of your own system. I will definately admit that the only time I paid attention to the downloads where GC2 and GC1 so... Thanks for the update. I will continue to try, hoping that I might get somewhere. At the moment I have it set for only 1 retry so that I can keep the old data in case this issue gets fixed before I complete my download...

Is there anyway that when it hits a glitch, and I temporarily lose connection with the server that I don't start all the way back at zero percent. And by smaller chucks I am not talking about the modules, it is just that when everyother game downloads it is downloading a bunch of different files with then get installed. However Etrom is just one big file.

So I was watching its progress, and at 57% it suddenly did a count down of seconds and started dwnloading at 0% again. No log, no warning, nothing. Corporate Machine downloads fine. I think Etrom, needs to be broken down into smaller chunks.

So I have been attempting to download this for the past 18+ hours. I get to various points of completion and then it will start over at 0%. This is the log from the last attempt (and the only one that gave me a log). Since I thought that Stardock Central was to act as a download manager and handle resumes I am a little peeved at having to down the same data over and over again. -- [Application] ---------------------------------------------------- Name: Star

Reply to Economy Questions in Game Talk Stardock Forums

Personally I am in favor of techn0mage's idea for the control of spending. I dislike the artificial contection between research and industry. If my economy can handle (afford) it I should be able to use all of it. The only reason might be population but then again population is not take into account so that gets thrown out the window.

I notice when setting scout to autoexplore that I get several exploring the same area unless I go and redirect them. I am not sure how the algorithm choose which sector to explore next but I have a couple of suggestions concerning it. 1) Check if the sector already has a vessel exploring it or a if a vessel set to explore is on it way to that sector. If it does then choose another sector. 2) Choose the closest sector that currently doesn't
