So we don't flood Fyron's account with files, I've sent him the data files for 3.0.5.

I'm glad to see I'm causing so much trouble while away!

It seems that when the PBW games got upgraded to Deluxe that now Bases can be put in fleets. At least this is true in two games I am in. I do not think base fleeting was possible in the games before. TGE and HW Wars are the games, but it may not be limited to just these ones.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a bug in Deluxe upgrades?

I don't know since I haven't updated to Deluxe. It is an option in Settings.txt though so depending on the mod, it could have base fleeting enabled even pre-Deluxe.

The setting is disabled by default in Deluxe.

The "Bases can fleet" setting in an ongoing standard game was set to no. In the middle of the game, it was upgraded to Deluxe and now I can fleet bases. I do not think I could fleet them before. I didn't know this setting could be changed in the middle of game.

I wonder if the PBW server copy of Deluxe has this setting enabled?

It shouldn't, but I'll double check. It's a moot question in this instance however since neither game in question is using the deluxe version on PBW.

Parasite, when I checked my latest TGE turn on my machine using 1.94 I cannot fleet bases. It sounds as if somehow your settings.txt file got changed on your copy. If this is the case, that would explain it. I could see why they wouldn't nessecarily get unfleeted by the host turn processing. There's not really an order in process there that could get canceled.

Am I missing (or did I miss) something, or does this thread bring up two issues?

1) Is it possible to "cheat" and change your own settings.txt to allow base fleeting, and thereby be able to fleet bases in PBW games where it is supposed to be disallowed?

2) Is there some sort of limit on the number of fleets in a game, after which the game hangs up during processing? If so, do we know what that limit is?
