Thanks Richard. This is great to read, and really keeps our interest up.

cool, always good to read these. I hate to grumble, but i think emergency build should be ballanced by increasing the expense incured, not decreasing its effectiveness. just like with the mine sweepers, I feel like features are being removed from the game.

ah well, cant please 'em all.

Any word on changing the way population/weapons platforms recieve damage?

i.e. certain weapons can kill population but not weapons platforms, and vice-versa.

I hate to ask the obvious question but, when will the 1.20-1.21 patch be released ?

I have 2 issues referencing Richard's post. Item 19 states the removal of Tech 10 for ships since it is empty. I for one use that tech level..I created an entire series of ships for all the races that use Tech level 10. I really don't see a reason to take it out, just provides another option for modders.

The second issue is about a map editor. I know there has been discussion about having one on past Posts. I had been hoping it was to be availabe on this next patch. Any idea if and when this can be expected?

Well if you want that tech level add it back in

As a modder you can easily do that, they might as well remove things that a unmodified Version of the game doesn't use.

Thank you, Aaron.

I think mods will now be much easier to package, install and manage thanks to change #31 listed under v1.20. Can't wait.
