I hada similar problem with a black screen ion sins start, but the mouse cursor jumped to the lefthand side of the screen. the problem in my case turned out to be old maps, so you might want to rename the galaxy folder in drive\(documents and settings/users)\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire to see if this fixes it, also you might want to check any old maps in the program files galaxy folder

a thought for the swamp bonus might be pharmacological plants that boost planet pop due to improved health & longitivity & perhaps a trade boost for exproting the extracts? harpo

I use a scrollwheel mouse/trackball because of touchpad difficulties harpo
just make sure that vshita has at least 4gb ram, unless you can get a machine with xp rollback then 1+gb is good to go harpo
assuming sins 1.12 and forge 1.1 then click on the map away from a planet /star to get the galaxy options in the toolbox. the 5th field is called randomize positions and it defaults to true, so set to false and save the map. hope this helps harpo
teal i am using sins on a toshiba l20 winxp 1.25gb ram (upgraded from 512mb) 160gb hd (upgraded from 40gb) cpu is a celeron 1.8, and sins runns smoothly. the laptop was given to me to salvage as it stopped working, but I found the problem was the power supply. by the way the suggestion of supporting the laptop above a solid serface is a VERY GOOD idea, one suggestion is a large wire cake rack as their called in aus harpo
I have made some custom maps wit over 40 pirate base, but no alteration of frequency or strength of pirate attacks, and as teal said it means you have more bases to clear harpo
