You make a valid Point, in regards to who thought of what first. Fryon.
Thanks

Actually, Fighters in Tactical Fighter Mod, do not move 1 in strategic move minimum, and do not have a command that would allow a move! Basically, just sentry and Fleet!

JLS,

if I had time to respond to those kinds of Posts, I would still probably mostly ignore them, and do something else with my time. I certainly don't have time nor any interest to pore over your entire mod looking for "my code" and checking where you gave credit or not.

Also, much of the reason I have continued to add so much to Proportions, is that so far the modding community here had been very courteous and sharing of ideas. If I mention that something someone is discussing is something I've considered or worked on as well, it's not to say, "I thought of it before you - nyah nyah" - it's for interest's sake, to show I was of like-mind, and to offer discussion of ideas I'm interested in and would like to see realized in a fun mod.

However, I think part of your ... concern ... here is based on a misunderstanding on my part, and a misreading of my post by you. As I wrote in my Last post, I haven't had time to look at AIC yet, and I was asking you if I was right that it was a refinement of your "AI Balance" Version of Proportions - I thought that's what it probably was.

Regarding why there is so much I had planned or partly done for Foundations, and why it's not in Proportions, I've explained that before in several places. Basically, I like to release things that I think are relatively complete and work well together, and many of these other ideas involve a lot of careful work to get right by my standards, and may be interrelated. Also, I think I've mostly done what I set out to do in Proportions, so if I were to invest a lot more time in modding, I'd want to do something besides just tweak things one at a time. I'd probably want to make several major changes at once, and that's not something I want to start by posting little bits at a time, which would have various unintended side-effects.

Anyway, I'm sorry to see you apparently upset.

PvK

I'll have to see how you accomplished that.

Hmm... more engines per move than they can get move points... beautiful.

One question:
Do your Partners (Partnership Treaty) get the "Ship Training Facility" experience bonus?

I have a humongus Toltayan fleet sitting in one of my resuply planets that also have the training facility, and they haven't moved in quite a while.

No, you can only train your own ships and fleets. Same applies to the neural combat net thing.

Yeah, the AI does that. It can be nasty when they suddenly decide to turn on you...

The Toltayans are usually very loyal, though, or at least, they were the Last time I was allies with them, which admittedly was a long time ago.

You could try gifting them the planet... though that's a bit extreme.
