I haven't found it to be doing this, but maybe some more testing is required. Has anyone else seen a specific facility type added system-wide vs taking the max in the system?

I found that the Time shrines and System Robotiod facilities both work together even though they say they don't this is probably the fix for that.

6. Added - Added a new tab to the Strategies window called "Damage". This tab allows you to set the percentage damage you want to inflict on different kinds of enemy ships before moving on to a new target. So for ships, if it says 80%, then your ships will damage the ship up to 80% and then will switch to a new target. If no other targets are available, your ships will go back and finish off those remaining ships. There is also a setting for "Damage targets until all weapons gone". If this is set true, then your ships will fire on enemy ships until all of their weapons are gone, regardless of the percentage damage setting.

Does this mean that if you set "Damage targets until all weapons gone" to true your ships will stop firing at planets when all weapon platforms are gone? I certainly hope so anyway.

And thanks for the update Richard! Much appreciated.

On "Damage until weapons destroyed" setting vs WPs:

Even if this does stop your ships from shooting on planets after the WPs are gone, it will Last only until all other ships are gone and then your ships will finish off the planet.

Damn! Any news on the lobbying for weapon platforms as specific targets?

It IS worth waiting for the patch when we know the betatesters are kicked there a... by the improved AI . .

In the mean time I'm playing SE IV in a hugh universe of 250 systems (I know for sure this game is NOT finished before the next patch comes out!) using races from the combined Modders pack 1.01 and 15 races selected by the computer). Man, this is a thrill! And as a bonus I added (as a betatester) Mephisto's "Narn in development". If you want to have a challenge for the time being, try this!
Everytime I hit the next turn button I wonder IF I still will be alive!

No reason to doubt, Version 1.19 from AARON/MM/SHRAPNEL can be a real challenge (with a little help from, oh blessed for the existence, all of us SE LOVERS/MODDERS ).

Keep up the good works, you guys, and try to convince your partner (if any) SE IV is much more important than anything else they might come up with

I have seen that the patch is expected at the end of the month. Why not release intermediate patches with each group of fixes. Two benefits:

More testers.
We get intermediate fixes to some of the more annoying problems.
