Re: Trying To Add Ship Set, Keeps Crashing the Gam

The hex is just to help show scale. It's size is constant so I use it to compare a new model to the same class of stock in order to get my new one to be of a similar size.

Re: Trying To Add Ship Set, Keeps Crashing the Gam

Hit "H" twice to get the hex.
The bounding box is based on the model's dimensions and spatial coordinates. Haven't a clue if the game actually uses it.

Re: OT: How to Pays Bills

I don't carry one myself, but my wife does. I pay for a set amount of minutes per month, nights and weekends are free. The bill is always the same, down to the penny.

Re: New Concept For Troops and Fighters

PES, good point about bogging a system down, I was still thinking about hundreds of units... oops!

Ah..., now I see what you're saying, PVK, and you are quite right.

But, if we shift our thinking a little bit, the initial cost of a unit could also be considered laying out the unit's support...

Re: New Concept For Troops and Fighters

Repair capabilities in SEV are measured by tonnage repaired per turn so all you would have to do is scale down the amounts for unit repair.
