Ok ... I have no idea what is up with this. I'm running my server off of WinXP Pro. I bang a new game, and activate the Internal Traders and Ferrengi. However, they don't appear in the game. Is there something that I missed?

They're most likely there, it just takes a while for them to spread out over the universe. They're really not all that impressive, they just wander around and trade, maybe hold up a trader every now and then.

Is there a borg addon for twgs?

No...there are no alien add-ons for TWGS...only custom aliens you can create with a Gold registration.

First, my Gold aliens work fine, Borg included. Second: Do the internal aliens show up on the Players Display screen?

If you're referring to the # (Who's Playing) check, no.

Thats exactly what I was referring to. Thank you for the reply =) Now back to making my Gold aliens......

If I create an alien race with a home planet and everything will they appear on their own or will I have to re-bang the universe?

I think they should appear in the game, but I'm not 100% sure on it. I'd suggest trying it and seeing what happens.

Haven't seen them yet but I'm willing to wait until they do.... for a while at least. Thanks

You can see the internal Aliens list by hitting CHV.

In all the games I am in CHV doesn't work and doesn't show any aliens. Do only Gold Aliens not show up in CHV? Or is it the other way around? I'd like to know alignment before I pod an alien. Otherwise buy buy ISS or goodbye red status depending on what I play.

Gold aliens don't show up using CHV, only the internal aliens and most games don't run internal aliens anymore.

I've been noticing a lot of games lately where the sysops don't seem to know how to correctly setup the gold aliens. I saw one game where all the aliens were spawning in pods. Saw another game where the aliens would spawn with between 0-30 figs in a ship that sells for 47 mil. This is almost as bad as the bug where the a gold alien will be carrying a ridiculous amount of cash on them. Throws the game all out of balance.

I can imagine the chaos. All pods doesn't make a challenging game for aliens. A high cost ship with only 30 figs on it can make it too easy to capture one. Store the high amount of cash on an alien planet with lots of defences and have the players earn it by invading that planet.

The aliens I added sure did show up without a rebang. I just got a notification in the daily log that they were on the move. During my turns I found and scrapped two of them. . They're not wqorth much in EXP or alignment yet but they'll get there.
