-----SEIV: The "Ships/Units" list should show the class under the name like the ship lists in a system. This way I can better decide what needs retrofitting in the "Ships/Units" list.

For this reason I keep my ship names the same as the class.

Examples: "Date-Tactical Role-Strategic Role-Size"

Tactical Role: Short, Medium, Long, Missile, Carrier, Rock, Etc.
Strategic Role: Sentinel, Guardian, Defender, Attacker, Supporter, Collector, Colonizer, Scout, Etc.

2410.0-Med-Def-Cru
2410.1-Car-Def-LigCru
2410.5-Mis-Gua-Des
2410.0-Gas-Colo-ColShi
2410.9-Min-Coll-Des

-----Do you have any Ba'als?

-----So, I assume that SEV is approaching it's final release form.

-----Awsome! I just figured out that I have this function, "Fill Queue", to allow me to save and load queues on new planets. I never really looked much at those buttons to the right. I was just begining to think of how it would be nice to have this feature like other games.

-----Is there a keyboard way to cycle ships and fleets; as oppossed to clicking the arrows?

-----My game play time has been losing to work, sleep, and other.

-----We don't need carrier hulls . This has most likely been discussed. I thought I would lend support for it and hear opinions. We could just keep it like it is now with Fighter Bays placed in any hull and eliminate the carrier hulls. This will eliminate clutter in our lists and mystify our fleets more to our enemies.

Transport hulls for that matter too. Other support roles are filled by any hull. Examples: Mine Layer/Sweeper, Satellite Layer, Space Yard, Repair Bay, Kamikaze...Imagine the hassle if all these roles had their own hull. And if they did..."Why?" So why not eliminate the carrier hulls too?

-----I guess it wouldn't be spam if one was to post the same exact statements on another website of a completely different company.

I,ve been offline and off computer for about a week. My 60 G hardrive would not start.
I bought a 200 G Maxtor for $100 and started over.
Since I'm not very computer savy and not very motivated the shop did did the work. They also installed Windows XP (profesional version, or what ever). They removed an older unused soundcard. They said my mainboard (the match for an Intel Pentium 2.8 Ghz.My RAM is 1 G) is quite excellent with high quality onboard sound (that's what I've been using)eqaul to or better than the older card (a Sound Blaster PCI 512).
Labor: $190
Total: $296

High quality integrated sound? Heh, good one. Sure, it's probably better than the sound blaster, but still.

Yeah...but the integrated sounds good to me with my bass speaker. The shop guy said that it could run up to six speakers.

Well sure, but that's just a matter of putting more of the same chips on there.
