Space monsters date at least back to Master of Orion 2; pirates had an implementation in MoO2 that was just 'station ships in this system to stop losing freighters and getting your trade income tanked' as one of the possible random events in that game (another was getting a chunk of your treasury spontaneously stolen by pirates). I forget if any piracy implementation existed as one of the random events in Master of Orion 1.

Space monsters and the first piracy event you described date back to Master of Orion 1.

Well, looks to me as if the LP is unfortunately going to have to be cancelled due to save breaking.

Can you link the save file so we can take a look at it?

The two files linked to the save. If somebody is capable of downloading those, zeroing pollution everywhere in the galaxy, and reuploading them, that would be great, but I'm not holding my breath. (For that matter, if Bulra is still normal-G, go ahead and have mercy on the bears and fix it for them.)

Interesting the two different files there. Some of this is intelligible - I can find Hiraki, Ursa, etc. - so maybe. I'll have to be at a computer with MOO to really dig in of course.

Well, the .data file doesn't seem to change much. However, even just renaming "Sol" to "Sol2" seems to cause a rather amazing list of changes in the .save files, so I don't think it's gonna work out unless somebody in the forums gives a little information.

I don't think so- MoO2 didn't have such a penalty- but I haven't seen what happens in nuMoO yet.

The original MOO did have that penalty, so we'll see I guess.
