Re: Reports of bugs or possible bugs.

Just encountered an unminable "Minable asteroid", free floating in space. Not in a "belt". Attempted to enter the square via keyboard and mouse from several angles. Save game available.

Re: Patch Notes

Just an FYI for your peace of mind: I did almost exactly this with my current (not so advanced game) and it worked fine. No need to even start a new "sacrificial" game if you don't want to. A...

Re: AI Economy

That's a neat idea. Fits in with the "smugglers" approach to the game. But what do you do if you run across such and have nowhere to stash the cargo until you can find a "safe" place to sell it,...

Re: AI Economy

Can't say I am surprised to hear this is too radical a change for a mere "feature addition". Something for AI2 consideration is entirely reasonable.

Abstraction is not a bad thing. Most people...

Re: AI Economy

+1 to this idea.



You are aware that a number of commodities are already "tagged" as "illegal"? They are:

Stim-Ware
Weapons

Re: AI Economy

Good to hear my timing was on target. I didn't want this to get into the first "bug fix" release, but hoped maybe the next "added features" version.

Re: Reports of bugs or possible bugs.

Just added another: Same Scientist (Researcher) "Melanie Camo" available 2 sectors apart. I sure didn't give her a ride and went straight from one BS to the other. $7K cheaper in the lower sector,...

No mercy. Got another one.

Re: How does the Lab work?

I've been experimenting with this, tracking exactly which of the 25 sub-components make up each item when disassembled (for this current game). If you craft exactly those sub-components in the...
