Default Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi

Well, this is the second game I've played where I'm at, apparently, a disadvantage. If I understand it correctly, because I'm player ONE, anytime I create a design and then refit to it on the same turn, if player TWO also created a design, I'm screwed. The so-called PBW retro-fiting bug? Or is it the Simultaneous game bug?

As I was told, one must create the design one turn, then use it the next turn. This puts me at a disadvantage when every turn counts and I get a new ship item off the research line and I have to wait a turn to use it. EVERY item, I have to wait a turn.

This sucks and I don't remember having this many problems before and I've played PLENTY of simultaneous games over PBW.

This latest time, not only did all the retrofits get ignored, I lost minerals in reserve because I counted on the retrofits using them up instead of them just "going away".
