I'm not floating in IP, it's more to wait for the colonies to grow that it's worth setting one to influence and loose the NAI-Bonus...Also without the Propaganda Broadcast bug, expansion would have been much slower for everybody, that added to my miscalculations (I piled a lot of Influence early to the detriment of expansion, which got finally useless since everybody's floating in Influence).
For me colonization has come to zero due to lack of IP generation, making the game a bit boring. Without the Propaganda Broadcast Bug it would even be more worse O.K. there are still plans to forge, strategies to test and such things but for me the pace could be faster.
Early August I go on holiday and thought the game will be finished till then. Didn't look so at the moment...
