To clarify the patch note: I've seeing lots of saves where players have built up Mercury Dyson with the scads of Research Campuses and being entirely unconstrained in research. We certainly intend to make the AI contest Mercury more but in the meantime trying to rein in the growth curve. MC is not ...

[...}I have also 'stolen' tech research (2nd level Small Fission reactors, Solar Streamers etc) and would expect that I stole the actual plans, not just a reference to them.[...] This is exactly where your problem is: you haven't stolen any tech research (unless your opponent has more research poin...

I like fighting early by using Escorts and as to defend Earth-Luna space even chemical engines on them are enough - they allow travels to Luna and back without too much resources used. However, first decent low-tech engine I really like is Pulsar and I love Advanced Pulsar (over 1g combat accelerati...
