Never had more than a tech exchange so I'm afraid I won't be much help. However, there might be some way to find out in one of the various economic screens/charts. Probably somewhere in the finance screen found on the galactic map...

AFAIK, just signing up the treaty is enough. You don't need to build anuthing special - as soon as the treaty is in effect you should see (from the next few rounds and on) an increase in your total income.
The bigger the empire you & your opponent control, the more cash should flow either way.
If anyone else knows anything more, feel free to provide further info.

thnks, thr rso many things that i still dont know about this game, so many "how to's" . anther ?, who the heck owns that huge ship...belong to GUARDIAN, what race is that?wipeout my main fleet in such a short time.almost didnt even gace it a hard time. its huge! even my battleship looks like an insect against that ship.
and uh,how d u stop spies?
and is system uh drive (i think) faster than warp drive?according to the stats...warp is just hundreds whereas system drive is in terms of thousands. i have tons of technology now,my race is pretty good with research. but money is hard to earn.
so how r ur games going?r u in 1st place?thanks again

LoL, I may have mentioned it in an earlier post, but if you can't tell the documentation for the game is somewhat lacking.

I'm not entirely sure what the guardians are for in this game. In Moo and Moo2 there was only one and it guarded orion/super-tech. I think they guard antaran x's in this game.

Spying is quite annoying... increasing your oppressometer helps, but increases unhappiness if pushed too far. And any of your spies that are un-assigned work in counter espionage.

System drive affects speed in combat. Whereas warp is the speed when traveling between different solar systems.

Hope that helps some, I personally can't really wrap my feeble brain around this game.

if they r guarding the X's,then doe sthat mean i found the area with that?possible eh? but will stealth work against that guradian?its so damn huge and powerful. anyway to sneak past that thing?
another ?,are production points independent from money and other points?coz i got pissed about those spies, so i pulled(and manufactured) out all the ships i could harness just to settle some score! i didnt bother about my expenses/income. but i know that i wasnt earning enough. is expenses a part of everything?from building ships to army and structures? and yeah, the ency is of little to know use at all, as well as the other docu. i have tons of tech's to use but not enough money to use it.
