The ignore thing was nice to find out, I have now begun my search for earth, I watched a video of one of the designers where he shows how to find it, and I luckily found a wormhole that lets me skip clear across the core and into the andromeda arm. Still a ways to go, but that cut an enourmous amount of travel through grox territory. I need to stop at some point and buy a planet buster for when I find it MUAHAHAHAHA
I actually have a game spot that is VERY close to where earth shoudl be, but I dont have the patience to get the interstellar drive 5 on some other race.
