Thanks! Here's hoping it's more stable than the last one.

Re: Patch v1.58 has been released!
 

I've tried a new game with stock 1.58. The core game mechanics are pretty decent now, I didn't really encounter any bugs, but the UI still needs to be optimized alot. The stock AI scripts are still useless. I was surprised when I encountered a group of 5 satellites guarding the warp point into my enemy's systems; then I realized none of the satellites had a single weapon, but were instead filled with only sensor arrays. *shrug*

I expect it'll be decent when BM1.10 gets out.

Woo!

There's a bug or loophole with research. By turn two I've achieved level 100 of point defense and level 48 in research. (Must be a smart race!!) Note the total percentage of 65636!

Well this is odd. In the save above I used a race I had created and used with previous releases of the game that worked fine. I just created another race along similar lines, and research seems to be working properly. So there must be some kind of loophole or issue with race creation, as opposed to a game bug. But darned if I can spot what it is...

Might have been a change in the way races are generated.

Interesting visual bug - the ninth sun

Any suggestions?

Re: Patch v1.58 has been released!
 

Could be. Just a heads up for those of you that play PBM. If someone opens up a warp point to your home system and hits you with 150 Dreadnoughts on turn 50... somethings up! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I went back and tinkered with that save a little bit, you can spread the points out and be processing several hundred percent on every research item at once. If you wanted to take the time, you could max out all research by turn 50 I think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
