multi nation start help
« on: June 18, 2016, 10:45:29 AM »
So I have a weird problem. 

I'm playing my first multi nation start.  3 player controlled empires on earth.  For some reason, two ships from the civilian shipping lines from one of my empires keeps trying to ram another ship from another empire.  I'm sure this is some simple thing that I messed up along the way.  How can I make this stop?

The easiest thing I can think of that may help is to use SM mode then set your DR ratings to above zero, something around 100 should work.

I don't know if you can use the truce timer after starting a game, but try it? Otherwise you could try turning off sensors in sol so no schenanegins happen there.

It can't be helped. Civilians are crazy like that. If they see a hostile, they will ram it. Only way out is to use SM mode to put DR high enough for neutral or friendship.
