Game start, thanks to Echelion
I started the game with abundant anomalies, artifacts, planets, habitable planets. Also The larges map possible and 2 Godlike races. I am the Altarians, other player is the Terrans.
The first turn was normal, quickly paid for my second colony ship, and off I went in search for habitable planets.
I bypassed the other planet in my system looking out for something better.
As my survey ship explored, the anomolies and planets seem scarce. Not much out here.
By turn 10 I have seeked out a half dozen stars and so far only a few anomalies and no habitable planets.
Things start to improve I find a class 11 planet, well that's good enough I guess, soon after a class 12 and 13 also are found and colonized.
At this point my empire is still expanding slowly with no big improvements. Wait whats that a class 21, send first colony ship available to that.
Research is going slowly but good, my survey ship now has 20 moves and we're approaching turn 80. All is quiet so far, no races have been found.
Game crashed around turn 82
First attempt to reload game failed with third player joining. I have to appologize, we then continued with out him 
At turn 85 I now have 8 planets things are going well to this point.
Finally at turn 86 the Drengin are here, I now have met 50% of the races let's see if the UP meets soon, Nope no UP, maybe I have to meet a third and go over 50% or meet 50% of the races not including me. Hah, I stole most of his techs and survey ship in trade 
Turn 98 and I meet the Iridium Corporation, I steal most of their techs and two survey ships
I now have met 2 of the 3 other races in the galaxy. Hmmm... Still no UP.
Turn 100 has come, I now have 10 planets and the UP will be meeting finally 
105 came and went the UP met and the Iridium are way ahead of everyone this sux.
Trade route, finally got my first at turn 109. Here we go.
Turn 114 the Game froze once again
end of the game for the day.
Extra thoughts/questions...
Multiplayer seems to have taken a back burner as other things have been being worked on.
At this point only 4 players are allowed, either AI or human, being that we can have 6 players in regular game it would be nice to have more AI available.
It would be nice to have communication built into the game, we haven't explored enough of the galaxy to this point to meet each other, so no diplomacy yet.
Does the UP start when any human race meets more than half or just the host?
Edit: sorry didn't realize the 't' function was working chat is in game 
Bugs/errors
Obviously the CTD around turn 82, first attempt to relaunch game with players back in failed, in lobby when other player joined it made his player go invisible.
A third player joined in, we launched game, players kicked out, game crashed
