Ah-hah. Aint ever run into that problem with anything on the vista computer. Makes sense though.

Now, Ive never played against a human opponent, so I can't compare to these very long battles. But otherwise, I think my longest was a 2 hour battle with about 5 ships on each side. Way it worked out was all the fighters died off about the time about the same time both sides' big ship-killers got crippled, and both died off pretty soon. So both myself and the computer (I was playing as the rebels. its just fun.) had our gravity well ships, I had two gun ships, and an escort carrier. The Imps had a lancer and a carrack, with an escort carrier of their own. About 10 minutes before it all ended they teamed-up on my 7700 and took it down. Went to attempt to disable my escort carrier but were driven off by the gunships, and then gave up the fight. So sadly, I didn't get to annihilate their fleet...

I recently got a laptop with Vista-32 Bit on it. The required .dll fire is actually on the Rebellion disk. And so, now it runs near-perfectly. So pretty much if your Vista system cant/wont be on the net, you can still run the game. (I run my laptop strictly offline)

I'm absolutely not sure where to put this but figured this would be a good place to start. I recently aquired Traitor, via the Protectorate TC. I loaded up my save knowing that i controlled atleast a good few planets, and that i had many more than the rebels. So first thing I see is that I only own 5 planets, and the rebels control all the rest of them. Does anyone know exactly what could've caused this, at all? Really makes things not too fun if its something I have to deal with...
