Update: Unable to connect. Load screen comes up and then after a long while error: Time out

Server problems have started again. Huge time lags, time out errors etc. same problems as before very bad this morning can't stay connected with either browser.

I had identical issues as starxplor.
My work around was changing between browsers. When FF timed out, went to G and vice versa.

Google seemed to have less problems, but the problems did still exist just not as often.

So far today I have had no problems with either g or ff browsers

Yesterday I started having connection problems to anacreon. Still having them today. connect, disconnect, animation stops etc. I don't have a problem on other web sites. Second problem My jumpship autfacs are not producing products I need for eldritches. adamants and warphants I can build. I have di...

Some more observations from a newbie. It was very disconcerting to see the map explored and mostly conquered in 2 weeks, which was when I joined lol. Thinking about map expansion, if I had to develop and build a star explorer that would have really slowed things down for me. Especially if it require...

Are multiple accounts legal? All of a sudden I have several brand new empires spawning in my territory, with no activity. Curious minds

I am contemplating expansion and trying to workout all the details. How do I know the planet I am contemplating for a sector capital is 250 ly away from my area? Is this 250 ly from the capital or 250 ly away from the edge of my empires territory? How is this accurately measured before taking the tr...

Before I try to expand, I needed to read up on how to do it. After some experimentation within my domain, I am thinking a colony/transport starship is needed. Why allow jump transports to travel with gunships or starships? Do the gunships carry jump beacons? I think a new design very expensive huge ...

I played a little in era 1 not much. This era less than a week, (including restarts) so here are a couple of observations. I am being crowded out by 2 big empires. What is the optimum time frame for each game? I am curious with such a short period of time how does one learn the game? There are sever...

Just started losing ships from fleets. No battles just flying around doing my thing. Each watch lose a ship or two out of each fleet. Only change I see cristaline federation has helios exlporers orbiting my HW. Can't find any reference in FAQ to this event. Thanks

I have seen on other games maps are divided into sub sets. The games apparently determined how many active players to each sub set before opening a new sub set. As an example if the map was divided into 4 quadrants and each quadrant was divided into a number of sub sets. So first few players go to q...

Thanks for the updated map, one other thought on spawning next to a large empire all the worlds get taken before a new player can get established. Just a thought

How is the start up position on the map calculated? I know the map is much larger than where I am being located. So far I have tried starting about a dozen times and every time I have been next to one of the larger players. I have been put adjacent to Imperium Aeterna at least 60% of the time, once ...

This started today. When I quit and save status permadeath. When I log back in I wake up in someone else's body. I didn't die, I just quit and saved. Any Ideas?

Thanks Ferdinand, got an easy game and reached sanctuary, 3 corp trading posts. Only xray was dual. :( When playing a vanilla game -I still say E1500 has been penalized this version compared to the other ships. I do not understand the logic behind turning a fun game into a grindfest. why the designe...
