It always annoys me when my minister tries to fill up population on an oxygen planet with methane breathers or tries to colonize a methane planet with nitrogen people.

I have mailed this to the designers many times but never got any reaction from them.

In general terms, the minister AI sucks

Here is a suggestion:

Have an option to control the number of ships per fleet.

Some people like to have hundreds of ships in a fleet some people might like having maybe 10. Having this option will of course limit the AI to this number also. This kinda forces players to design their fleets more.

My personal preference would be maybe 15-20 ships per fleet.

You can already control how many ships you put into a fleet. You can make as many fleets as you want.

ship construction

to give SC IV, I think you should click a tech to gift/ trade and then a popup box should ask you what level you want.

Good idea Dogscoff

A slight improvement on your idea is that the next level of what you have is ticked, so if you only want 1 level, all you have to do is hit return.

In other words, if you have Ship Con2, Ship Con3 will be ticked. Only if you want more than 1 level will you have to manually change it.

It would be nice to have a pop-up box for the level you want to give too. This way you will not be giving level 3 when you think you are trading level 2 or level 1.

put in a merge with fleet command (like they did in Stars! ) to add ships to a fleet at a specific location automatically instead of sending ships to specific location then once they get there having to manually add them to the fleet.

Fyron thanks, after you said this, I went into the AI files and walaa there it is, what was I thinking.
