Re: Next Upgrade/patch
 

I thought AIs didn't retrofit ships?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sure it does. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif When there is a valid not obsolete design at hand and the ships have nothing do to, they will either retrofit or train at a training centre. Unfortunately, the Ai keeps its ships busy moving from system to system so it rarely retrofits or trains.

The changes made in the next patch concerning master computers are important and I changed my mind about eliminating master computer completely from my games.
That the AI uses master computers now is great if the cost of master computers are reduced. Otherwise the construction time of small ships like colonizers increase too much. But this is very easy to modify.
My second change should prevent the doom of psychic races (the master computer makes the allegiance converter completely ineffective): I plan to make the master computer a racial technology and give it only to few (anorganic/mechanoid) races.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh, the problem are not the testers. You don't shoot the messenger, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
I would not hold my breath for new features like a palace think of how deep Aaron is in Starfury right now.

K-M you know I am joking.

Re: Next Upgrade/patch
 

well, him being involved in star fury is fine.

One feature I would like to see, is an empire option to suspend each of the resource gathering facilities (empire wide). Say I have plenty of room for mineral and radioactive storage, but am maxed on organics. Currently, I have two choices. I can either let the farms continue depleting the resources and wasting the numbers, or scrap al the applicable facilites an have to rebuild them when I have need for them. An option to suspend would be nice.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, that's a big "if". If not - just as you said - the "X" for expansion will getting very very small.
