Hey, but you have it now!


To expand on this, for those who don't already know about it:

To build a supply ship, add as many Supply Storage and Emergency Supply Pod components as will fit.

To transfer supplies, add the supply ship to a fleet of ships you want to supply. On the next turn, the supplies of the entire fleet will be distibuted evenly among the ships.

7) it would be nice to "know" if the trade we are offering a computer player was doable before finding out that "yeah I'll take your technology and give you what you already have!" Or, if it doesn't have the resources you want why let you ask for it? It rarely ever comes back and says "Can't do that but how about (x or y) instead?"
I've had the AI tell me "We can't afford that" a fair number of times. Offering something different is much rarer, but I've seen it happen, too.

I've suggested new things in older threads already; I can't think of any new ideas offhand that I've had since the Last time I posted them.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
