Mr Floppy: Welcome back, sort of, take your time. I said that I would keep your seat warm (La Grrrrrrrrrrr). Build 2 is a big change form the first one.
abc: It could be different ships, you are right.
Supply usage: Right, SJ is correct, but in StarFire engines do not require supplies, only regular maintenance for wear and tear. Still lets test this out some more, I have had two people comment on the supply issue and I am willing to Mod it back in. Keep in mind that the re-supply issue is a SE4G aspect, not a StarFire one. Also you should test the supplies in a ship armed to the teeth with missile weapons after a major combat. One way or another I see that this needs some serious looking into, good job!
Commercial Engine: Yes they give a higher strategic movement, and should be doing so in the Mod had I remembered to add the ability back in. One of those pre-move to Build 2 tests I ran. The military engines give a much higher combat movement and I would not suggest building a warship with commercial engines, but it has been done in past StarFire games. Have you played the game?
Spelling error: good catch, at least I got all the letters in there.
Plague: I don’t know as I am still apprehensive about having it in there in the first place. Part of me wants to take it out all together and I keep telling myself to just wait and see if the testers like it and what they want to do. So if that is your suggestion than I will mark one vote for upping the deadliness. None of the present games I am in use the rule and the new text books do not even mention IED. Sad as I really liked it, “Will my big butt colony that is the foundation of my Empires economy suddenly start dieing off”?
Colony Ships: Really?
I can get the Class III Military Engine on mine? Check that one again and let me know how it turns out.
I can’t wait to get your feedback on the new Box Launchers; I must check the forum about 2k times a day to see your comments. I will wait till later tonight and put out a patch for the type-o and the commercial engines. It will not break a saved game.
