My mistake - I saw 'unmothball' and read 'refit' for some reason

I see exactly what you mean - and I'm doing just that in my current game.

BTW: How did you create those designcreation.txt file entries for desired/maximum speed? Do you have a conVersion program, or did you do it the hard way and type each entry in one by one?

(Wondering since I've been thinking of ways to include a system similar to what you have in my games. Modding all the race's designcreation.txt files is the only thing stopping me right now.)

More importantly, does it work? I've not been able to get the AI to respect 'desired speed' when engines ae given more than one standard movement and I don't know of anyone else who has either.

"* Removed the actual storage from Space Yard components, but the
ability remains, so they can still be used on transport hulls, but
space yard bases will not automatically have cargo room."

What happens if you upgrade to 2.3 if the bases have cargo in them?

I'm in the process of downloading the mod now. Do I need to download the patch also, or is that for those who have Version 2.2?

The patch is only necessary if you want to upgrade 2.2 to 2.3. If you are doing a fresh install of 2.3, you don't need the patch.

You don't need the patch if you have the full 2.3.

The patch upgrades any Version of Proportions (including the Version on the Gold CD) to 2.3.

If you want the three new AI/races Oleg made, you will need to download from the top link on the page, which is the full 2.3 and those AI/race files.

Existing games which have ship yard bases and ships will have their cargo capacity go down by 80kT. If they are carrying cargo in excess of their new limit, it will still be on the ship until it unloads. It just means they won't be able to re-load (as much, or in some cases, any) once they drop it off.
