While everybody is at this patching, is there a way to patch the game so that when you select a group of fighters and deselect some of the rocket pods, then fire, ALL the pods don't fire? You should not have to fire them ALL.

33. Fixed - System level point modifiers were being summed instead of max'd.

whats max'd mean? they apply the system percent modifier after the planetary modifier instead of adding both together and applying the sum?

That's the way the system is now though...

If you have a 20% mineral bonus, 20% from happiness, 10% from population, 30% from a planet facility, and 30% from a system facility, you don't get +110%. The bonuses you see in the abilities window of your planet are summed (+50% in this case), and the facility and system facility bonus are applied in turn. That ends up being (production + 50% bonus) = 1.5x production. Then 1.5 * 1.3 * 1.3 = 2.535, or a bonus of 153.5%. At least, that's what I've found when doing testing trying to max my score.

Might mean that if you had two bonuses from a system facility, say +15 and +20, it gave you +35 when it was supposed to only take the higher (or max) of +20.

Just like to add to what Baron said. The AI is MUCH tougher. I thought I'd start a new game and just kinda mill around through it, before you know it I'm in 7th place ! Arghh,cloaked ships are a pain..
