The 2000 unit limit

[Baron Munchausen]

The 'units in space' limit seems to count each GROUP of units as a single entity. This makes sense given that Groups of units are treated as a single ship in combat (All fighters fire together, damage is 'streamed' from one unit to the next, etc.) So, just read "number of unit Groups" for the real definition of the limit.

But the ships limit is really broken I haven't tried it with seperate units but I have on seperate occasions built more than 2000 ships and bases so I know at least that these limits are broken. The intent was that there be 2000 total ships + bases but in patch 1.19 at least there is no limit that I have found.

This really is a bug. When it was pointed out to me I wrote Aaron Hall and asked and he confirmed that it is a bug and told me how it was supposed to work (2000 limit for chips and bases combined). I didn't ask about the units because they're not much of an issue in our contest. Since he knows about it, I expect that it will be fixed in the next patch.

So would those be plain chips or sour cream & onion chips? Or fish & chips?

obviously they are not salt and vinegar chips, since we all know that acids and bases tend to neutralize each other when combined.

Personally, I like it the way it is now. I don't want it fixed.

If you do change jobs, you should consider joining a company that can really use your skills. The Pacific NW is full of companies that would love to have people of skill. Don't ask me to name them all, but a good HH firm can do that for ya. Best of luck.
