Daeromont1 -> 3 questions (6/9/2014 11:31:40 AM)

Three quick questions:
1. Automation: I have had an issue, twice in my last game, where suddenly new ship and base types started appearing...and I found that the 'automated' options for building and upgrading were turned 'on' although I was playing a manual game. The first time I thought I clicked something wrong....second time, it became suspicious. Any ideas on what I might be doing to inadvertently trigger this?
2. Efficient world defenses: I LOVE how well the Pirates and other AI works in making strategic choices of where to attack me. Before I really understood what was happening (I've only played two full games now), I lost 4 worlds WITH defensive bases and spaceports. So...my question is this: what ideas do you all have for balancing defense of worlds (troops, bases, etc) while keeping the economy from tanking?
3. Diplomacy: Now, I had technology trading off in my last game (which I will change in my next one); however, I had a real problem with my strong allies in the early/mid game turning into my enemies in late game, due to our completing borders, encroachments (mostly on their part), and the like. My next game will be the first one where I really start thinking about the diplomacy aspect. Any general advice in this area? For example, does it make sense to trade 'disputed systems', keep pumping money into allies to keep them on your side, etc.? The AI kept encroaching on my area, so I'm not sure how to avoid this without completely stunting the growth of my own empire. Perhaps this is intended?
Thanks in advance!
