Hey Steve,

How does this campaign compare to your previous ones in terms of scale?
Amount of NPR's, amount of colonies, fleets, etc.

It seems to me that it's starting to get rather big. 
Is the performance still fine after the civilian line updates?

This is the largest one I have documented for C#, although I had a larger one for which I didn't post an AAR (500+ known systems, 7 swarm races, etc.).1

Performance is fine - at least I haven't noticed anything except that saves are taking longer.

Great read as always, I love the short, direct to the point format of Steves AAR:s.

After an NPR clears the orbital defenders, maybe they should consider the loot on the ground theirs and take offense if you move in with ground forces and snipe it for yourself? On the other hand if you add in every special case like this you will soon have a very complex AI especially considering different goals will sometimes conflict.
