Dear Honorable Overlords of the Canadian Star Federation,
With the dawning of a new forum for interempire communications you would of course understand the great need for “security”. In similar fashion to “donations” made to G.R.O.S.S. within the Galactic Forum, “peace” will be assured with the continued transfer of “contributions” to the Most Humble Empire of G.R.O.S.S. Standard Operating Procedures will remain in place:
1. Identify freighters ferrying beer with brown markings.
2. Identify freighters ferrying wine with red markings.
3. Identify freighters ferrying liquor with bright neon markings.
4. Identify freighters ferrying illegal alien pornography with green markings.
5. Sail your freighters with minimal escort.
6. Greet G.R.O.S.S. raiders with a smile, not razor sharp hockey sticks.
ARRRGH!!! Consider yourselves “advised”.

Played BETA 2 got everybody aligned and found out
all the winning conditions were reset.
But a new BETA came out last night and
the AP new Beta is excellent.
Played 6 hours not a crash,
and the disappearing ship bug is gone 
One things that changes game play.
The more starbases you build the more it costs.

Kit walks in wearing a boulder costume. "Has the party starte yet?" he asks.
The undead turn and collectively raise their rotting eyebrows.
Paguma asks, “what’s with the costume?”
“I uhhh... uhhh... thought this was a costume party,” Kit replies.
“Why is there a metal plate on the back of your costume?” damoose asks.
Kit looks around. “Just in case never-never shows up.”
“What’s your name, stranger?” asks Technician.
“Frank the Fleshless Rock. Got any booze?”

Well here is a mini review,
I have not tried everything yet.
As I said playing MASO I could not get Minors in aleast some conditions trade for cash.
I need the cash I can get from them in order to increase my spending. While with 1.3 I can usaully MAX Spendind and even drop taxes. With 1.49 I am lucky to get the spending upto 60%.
This means minor races serve no purpose for me so when I can I wipe them out.
The first starbase costs 259 the next 500, 750...
Well with lots of minor cash I can not afford lots of starbases. The good thing is the other majors are not building lots of starbases. If you go for the cultral flip this reduces that option. i have mixed feelings with the new starbase fee. Try to build a starbase to mine a resourse and not have the cash
On the other hand you get more races, and graphics for minor races. The Kwilwaxin can not spell it is my favorite, Can not spoil it but it was really great.
The extra major races also allow for more trading that partly makes up for the minors not trading for cash. All the extra races you should finish the tech win in record time. Of course my score got totally nerfed.
The UP vote screen is new and
very cool.
My bigest suprise was the ships nolonger disappeared.
Now the new ships I need to do alittle research and see if they are worth it.
I think I noticed a ship called the Sovreign and Palidan but I do not play out the war thing often and I have no specs on them.

Paguma,
I know it Tech win is totally hosed,
Alliance is better but more points come from
the military win.
Can you get the military Maso win without going to war all the time through the game ?
Can I get a Military win and keep my good alignment ?
