Next Upgrade/patch

well, him being involved in star fury is fine.

One feature I would like to see, is an empire option to suspend each of the resource gathering facilities (empire wide). Say I have plenty of room for mineral and radioactive storage, but am maxed on organics. Currently, I have two choices. I can either let the farms continue depleting the resources and wasting the numbers, or scrap al the applicable facilites an have to rebuild them when I have need for them. An option to suspend would be nice.

Well, another x.0 turn has rolled around, and I still have old ship designs showing up on the non-hidden list.
Is this because I retrofitted the old design and didn't build from scratch?
There are none in service, either captured or otherwise.
There are none being built. but still the old design remains.
They are marked obsolete.

Please can we have a "delete design" option? eh? there is even an open slot for the button in the design screen. could it really be that hard to implement?

"My second change should prevent the doom of psychic races (the master computer makes the allegiance converter completely ineffective):"

Umm, Q, there's this little weapon called the computer virus.

Reduced the efficency of captures, since you need to repair the computer, but that's fairly minor damage.

Couslee, try the "hide obsolete" button.

I did. I had the game saved even on a .8 turn to try and clear whatever is stopping it. I tried rolling to .0 with hide obsl, not hide obsl, I re-obsoleted all of them, just in case that would reset it, all to not avail. the only thing I can't test, is if them being retrofitted has an impact. well, i guess i could test it next round. make a design, build one, scrap it and a second design built it an retrofit and see, but damn, what a waste. I am trying to play the game, not beta test it. the other thought I had I am gonna check, is perhaps renaming my retrofitted ships. maybe that has something to do with it. thats a lot of renaming tho.

It's a pain, and it sure would be much easier to just have a delete design than having to wait for .0s to come around. I find myself fighting more with the interface and certain "features" than with the AI. maybe they should call the game "UI wars". lol

Phoenix that will be the change in the next patch: even a destroyed master computer protects from allegiance converter!
