Take a look at the various types of slots on your mainboard. Answers.com has a good pictorial. http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/CDE/PCXSLOTS.GIF I'm just going to assume that you have a PCI Express x16 slot for your video card. You must also be mindful of how much power your new card uses as well. Dell skimps on Power supplies. Also look for cards that use Stream Processors instead of PixelPipelines. I know... it's a pain. But check this c

I saw a post where the person said they were upgrading their ships as economy permits? I can't seem to figure out how to upgrade existing ships already in service. Or did I read the post wrong? It would be very handy if I could upgrade 20 ships of the same design already in service. Thanks,

I'm new still and playing at beginner/normal level. What has been working for me is medium ships with equal amounts of offense and defense. Preferably an offense for a defense they don't have along with a defense for their offense. The medium/equal weapons and defense seems to be working so far.. but I am certainly going to try some new things that were mentioned above.

I'm pretty new and have just started on Normal level. The one thing I've noticed with Alliances is that I usually must send them a "donation" in addition to the Alliance request; somewhere along the lines of one to two thousand BC. Each time I have been in the top three or four with really good Diplomacy.

Beyond Mortality was tough for me.. my attack first strategy backfired.. had a tough time fighting those Torians until my ship and weapon tech came online... but it was definite fun!

[quote]thats up to you; normally its at or above whatever MV Difficulty Medallion you have showing (so for example, I am required to play at Crippling or higher). You can choose a difficultly level that you are comfortable with. We have players that play on a number of various different levels, which makes the MVL much more egalitarian; its not just a Highest Difficulty Club.[/quote] Cakewalk here I come!!!

I don't see anything about what difficulty level to set the AI to.

I might be blind.. but I didn't see anything about difficulty level needed. Can we set it to what we want as long as we report it? The reason I ask is because I'm pretty new to the game and am playing at beginner level. I'm doing well in my first gigantic galaxy but I don't think I could do near as well with AI 'average' intelligence (based on what I've read about the AI). Are there like bonus point multipliers for any wins with harder AI settings? Thanks,

Uhh...was going to start another thread..but perhaps I can just ask here: I'm doing better and having a blast on the gigantic map...BUT... I'm having a hell of a time keeping track of enemy ships coming in my sectors.. I mean .. I'm all over the galaxy and sometimes they sneak in.. Is there something that can alert me when an enemy ship comes close to an area? I have great sensors and galactic eyes..but it takes forever to comb over everything .. Scrolling all the way

Nice advice everyone. I've just started playing and found myself doing my old strategy of expansion and concentrating on Economy/Technology/Production. I've realized that this strategy is very slow and potentially dangerous because my ship production is slow. When I finally get good ships all is well.. but I've also found it's very easy to get beat up by a technologically inferior enemy..but he has ships and I don't! I'm trying to find that sweet spot but I have also found

I figured how to do what I wanted in the game options. And double clicking on the PICTURE of the ship in the planet/ship options will take me directly to it. About the game options.. I just set the option to shuffle through all ships that are idle. It was really handy for a while. When I didn't need it anymore I just turned it back off. Once my tech got high enough and I could actually build a decent ship, I figured out fleet. It was very straightforward... Man.. logistics really
