Whoohoo!

Oh my. All my prayers have been answered. This alone is the single best change ever to the game, in my opinion anyway!!

You know ship generating research and intel is an idea but perhaps their should be a high maintence cost to offset to make sure the tactic isnt abused but is a viable alternative - perhaps a population requirement.

If this is available to anyone then there might indeed be balance problems. If it is used as intended by those of us who have been begging for it (for 'nomadic' races only) they will face the same trade-off as anyone else. Putting too much into research or intel will tend to reduce the amount of resources they can harvest, and so restrain their economic/military power. It's all a question of properly designingthe game conditions where the ability is used.

Any idea of the release date?
But if MM continues to add such excellent changes to the Last patch as the points generation for components, I am ready to wait for a long time.-----------------------------------------------------
I agree all the way Man . Think of fellow players & modders.Spaceyard-ships in a Nebula or storm opaque secter/systems,Building a Orbital-Base Research/Intell stations,Hidden from ai fleets .

I am also wondering from a map making if that means that we can set these abilities for planets... So a 1 slot planet you can build the yard... and the planet generates resources... Would be really cool for making maps ( and moding the system creation text files for limited resource games.

You could even design a mod where every planet provides a fixed amount of resources per turn the moment you colonise it, and then you build facilities to modify that amount.

Not sure why you'd want to do that, but it might be cool anyway...

And in the meantime we play PBW and blow each other up and generate new ideas - true nomadic races is an interesting idea and the modders should go near spastic over it.
