OK. Now you move to this statement.

Fyron, AIC has always been designed with the intent to have less ships in play then se4.
This may make for a more manageable LAN and Multiplayer game� Some players may not like to manage tons and tons of ships

I think we are getting really far from the original point of the suggestion, to make a Version of AIC that is more akin to the stock game than to Proportions... none of the human player options come close.

Agreed

Actually I do plan on this, as it states in the AIC Readme.

But I may hold off until se5 for its base

Not true. Use option OP1 and you will able to fill colonies with research centers or mineral miners VERY fast without shipping any population at all.

We already went over that Oleg... even with that option, it still takes a long time to get productive colonies. 3 turns for piddly resource production per facility is not what I would call very fast.

There are plenty of people that like playing with 1000s of ships. They are certainly manageable, that is what fleets are for.

I don't know about you, but that's when I start running out of individual names for my ships.

Fyron · #78 January 25th, 2004, 10:10 PM

Well a few files of 1000 randomly generated names help a lot.

And of course, so does stopping naming them all when you get that many.

I probably should have said "that is what fleets and auto-destination way points from build queues are for."

There really should be a drop box for ship names that connects to your design names file minus the names that are used...that would make my life easier!

Fyron · #80 January 25th, 2004, 10:16 PM

Indeed it would! But it would make savegames a lot bigger to store the names you already used, or would have a noticeable delay every time you open the drop box, as it would have to search every single entry...
