	Spaceship Help Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Okay heres my problem. I had been playing for a couple of hours, I had finally built the Apollo program, I had all the technologies I needed, and by the end of the game I was pulling my hair out cause I couldn't build my spaceship! I made sure bloodlust was off, and it was. I've tried it three times now, from scratch and I think I had every thing I needed, although I may have not had the right technologies. But I've tried it about seven times with cheats and got all techs. all wonders and city improvements, and never got my spaceship . Please help, if I can't do it with cheats I would like to know but could you please give me some suggestions.

If you tell me who Sloan is, I'll try to help you.

Tuggy poobers? Is that the name of some hot new children's book?

Hi Tuggy,

Are you saying that the spaceship components are not appearing in your city build lists?

Silly question - you have reached the AD years? - spaceship parts are not available before 1AD ...

	Suffering from ads?

Alright, the AD years explanes why I cant do the cheat thing. But when I play regularily when its after ad, but before I retire I still cant do it. The Spaceship stuff doesn't appear on the city improvement selection screen. Sloan is a Canadian band, sort of Beatlesque, the line is from a song called Sinking Ships. If you want to hear there songs just download them of napster, and if you like them you'll probably be able to find them, they are one of the few Canadian bands who have made it into the states. Assuming you live in the USA, or Canada

Okay, you said you managed to build the Apollo Program, so you must've had the tech Space Flight, which is also a prerequisite for building SS Structurals in any of your cities - that's a given, so to speak.

The other techs required are Plastics for SS Components and Superconductor for SS Modules. But since you seemingly aren't able to choose building SS Structurals even after completing Apollo, something else than lack of the required techs must be the problem...

Are you absolutely sure you've started the game from scratch, disabling the bloodlust option? To me, that seems like the most plausible cause - and also the only other thing I can think of that hasn't been covered...

Yeah, what Ming said. Only, there are other ways of playing this game than MP (MultiPlayer), but Ming's too old to remember.

Thanks winston

But you are right, I don't play SP (single play) much anymore, so I wouldn't know if that was an option

I had this problem the when I first got this game. I stopped playing cause I couldn't win by the space race. The only option was to kill everyone which I wasn't very good at at the time. So now 3 or so years later I installed it on my new computer just over a month ago. Works fine now I bet you aren't willing to wait 3 years to get a new computer and reinstal So there is an option to play with the default rules or change them when starting a game. Make sure blood lust is off. If this don't work. Sell your beast of a computer and get a new one
