Hey I have a spaceempires5 news flash for you. Your db server sucks. 90 seconds to start loading a page………what is that thing running on? If I had an hour I might sign up, but it's just too slow for my attention span at this time.

And have you noticed how you try to read a post, then go back to the same post several days later and it seems like theres new comments mixed all over in the post, rather then following order it just shoves them in there somewhere, no thanks, I'll stay here till it gets better. k thnx

[Fyron]

The post ordering has been set to flat view by default now, at least for the forums. Dunno about the news comments...

[tmcc]

I hate that too

[Atrocities]

I really think that if they can improve their forum system then the whole site will gel together and become very popular amoung the SE community in general.

An artwork picture and slogan have been added to the top of the page. Also a link to pre-order Space Empires V and download StarFury for free.

Mass Retrofit - It can be done!!!

Right now I've got you attention i'm going to tell you this is bo***ocks...Nah i'm only joking. It's for real!

Now i'm not sure about stock because I was playing balance mod at the time. But it's a hard coded thing so it should work with stock as well.

Get all your outdated ships of the same old design and stick them in a fleet. Now go to the ships screen and select one of those ships (it might help to rename one of them so you can find it).

NOTE:It will let you select that individual ship inside of the fleet. Now refit that ship, and it'll try to refit all the other ships in the fleet as well.
WARNING: Be careful because it tries to refit everything in the fleet whether it's the same ship hull or not.

The same above applies to mass scrapping too.

I made this easier to do by creating a custom layout in the ships window with: ship picture, ship name, coords, ship class, fleet name.

Third and final test.

This also works for ships of different designs but same ship hull

Say your best design is "Frigate X"

And you have a fleet full of "Frigate I, Frigate II, Frigate III, and some Frigate V's" all same hull size but different versions.

You can retrofit all of them in ONE GO! to "Frigate X" Using the above!!!

It seems MM have partially implemented fleet refits, but hasn't quite finished it off yet.

Once this orinance bug is fixed, omg fleets will be such a time-saver!

Sounds more like a bug than a feature.

I'm trying to like spaceempires5.com, but the forum is just awful. There are loads of other portal systems out there with nice forums, why use that one?

[Combat Wombat]

I have been using se5.com more and more even though it has been against my better judgement and I am trying to like the site but I agree the froums are just unacceptable. They are gonna need a huge revamp befire they become even half as useful as a free proboards setup...
