Re: Most bang-for-the-buck hard code changes
Yes, you are right CW. Forgive me, it was 2 am in the morning when I typed this. Also I was playing P&N lately, so I guess scrapping ships for resources became a routine  . |

Re: Most bang-for-the-buck hard code changes
What I would like to see (in addition to several of the ideas below).
When playing a saved Empire. Ships not showing up from the previous game in the ship design screen until they can be built. Or some way to toggle Don't show ships you can't build. It is the # one reason I start a new Empire each game rather than play an old one with all the ships designed already.

Save/Load ship designs seperately from races! Just like SE III!

Re: Most bang-for-the-buck hard code changes
I agree with you there SJ. SE3 did have a better method. You could just load a ship file and only the ships you have the tech for are loaded.

Re: Most bang-for-the-buck hard code changes
I would like to see a new tick box in the strategies screen: "fire until all engines destroyed". Mightily useful for my scouts armed only with ionic dispersers and wormhole beams.
Also fix the boarding parties! They don't work in strategic combat.

Re: Most bang-for-the-buck hard code changes
Rollo, Thanks for the edited QuadrantTypes.txt file, I must admit I hadn't thought of that.
However the point still stands that you can't have the Black Hole systems without crippling the AI somewhat especially if it starts next to one.
I did like the strategic aspects of having an early effective (mostly) defense against enemies until later in the game as well as the potential of hampering your expansion to other systems.
Ciao
