Same thing, really, unless they've changed it radically since the last version. But, as far as I know, the only difference between border and ZOC is that the border is that bright line surrounding your ZOC. So it's just different aspects of the same thing. And that border should only appear around the hexes in your ZOC.
I'm also noticing that the ZOCs aren't quite as affected as they used to be. I mean, I conquer all of the planets within 20 or so hexes, place Culture starbases along the border, study Influence techs out the wazoo and be #1 in tech across the galaxy...and all of that territory is still surrounded by the enemy's ZOC, which hasn't budged an inch. I mean, I hate to say it, but the game is nigh unplayable at this point.
Seriously, what's going on here...?
[quote who="RammaStardock" reply="5" id="3903489"] Currently such a feature is not in but auto mining and auto patrol/battle are both highly requested [/quote] "Request" was certainly my intent with the OP. [e digicons]|-)[/e]
Well, if we're gonna do that, I'd like it if there was a center-on-notification or center-on-selection button, instead of the game auto-centering when you receive the note or select a ship from the fleet list on the right. Sometimes, it's like, okay...I want to move my fleet toward this battle, I need my biggest fleet, (ah-ha) there it is on the list, clickeroo... ...and now I can't find the battle anymore because the view is now on the ship and th
You know how colony ships can Auto-Colonize, seeking out an available planet all on their own...? I'd like something similar for asteroid miners. Sometimes, an asteroid cluster is small or blends in with the background, or some thing, and finding it again is a giant PITA; it'd be great to be able to tell your asteroid miners to go seek out the nearest asteroids within your ZOC. (And, while we're on the topic, it'd be great if the miners 
Somehow, I missed this reply until now. Also, thanks. :) Perhaps you've patched it up by now; it doesn't seem nearly as bad as it was.
[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="7" id="3903383"] Quoting BionicDance, reply 6 I saw something that said they'd take the request and manually generate something new, but how do I tell 'em I'm not finding anything appropriate? You just did. [/quote] Oh. Hrm. I thought i
But what if none of the pictures match your race's description at all? I saw something that said they'd take the request and manually generate something new, but how do I tell 'em I'm not finding anything appropriate?
The only way I can accurately see the Zone of Control for each empire is to turn on the grid-visible-zoomed-out option and look at the color of the hex-grid. Those borders absolutely do not represent the actual Zone of Control, and it's been like this since the most recent patch.
S'a bit more than just that. Creature I met describes the entire Zoq-Fot-Pik-Zebranky conflict and even mentions Frungy.
Stop making me want to play this game so damn much.
If you cannot recognize snarky internet humor, you are sillier than I. :P
[quiote]I mentioned this once a long time ago, the ship cost should be on the thumbnail on the fleet selection screen.[/quote] I swear that's there; if I was at home and not in a motel on my Chromebook, I'd check...but it's not on the thumbnail; if I remember right, it's on the ship description. When you mouse over it to see the weapons and stats, the price is in there, too.
[quote]Like I said... "I don't think they think it is possible."[/quote] Oh, I don't mean that I think it's technologically impossible; I think such a game could be made easily. ...I just think you'll have a bitch of a time selling it the players. I'm not sure they'll want it. [quote]This has always been the thing I don't like about most multiplayer games, in my own terminology "they have no strategic layer". They are simply "grinds" t
Have to admit, me too. I guess I wanted a trailer and not a teaser.
