<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: dostillevi<br/> <br/> I posted about this in the general forum but I now believe it is a bug.<br/> <br/> Ships that are assigned a base do not always revert to a "move to base" or "patrol base" mission after engaging in combat. This happens mostly when the ships en...

Keep your "total research capacity" higher than your "total empire research potential". Your "actual output" is simply just that, research output with bonuses applied. It can be a bit confusing to begin with.

The ship probably just warped in and it looked like it instant spawned.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: mashkis<br/> <br/> Hi All,<br/> <br/> I have been reviewing this game series and thinking about purchasing. Here are few questions.<br/> 1.

<r> A work around I've been using is to set the defending fleets home base at a mining station within the system. Since your colonies are most likely to be attacked, the fleet will be required to jump to the colony to defend. When the fleet is finished defending it will be far enough away from its "...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Fishers of Men<br/> <br/> That sounds strange. Would checking the "fighters automatically upgrade" box on the Options screen be a work around for you?

<r> I've been playing around with fighters a lot lately and found several issues with them.

<r> I encountered a horrible bug related to this which I will post in the techsup forum. I wanted to mention it here because it would likely be fixed if:<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>2. ALL base and station roles need the same fighter\bomber launch logic that carriers use. Another copy\paste fix? With ...

<r> Ok I've done some more tests and need to revise my solutions above. Carriers wonderfully auto-launch and auto-retrieve their fighters and bombers. Defensive bases seem to not launch fighters in some situations. I didn't test star bases and we already know the problem with mining and resort bases...

<r> I figured out a semi-workaround for my mining station issues and fighters. Simply don't use the mining or gas mining role for mining bases. Instead use the defensive base role. This gives you the "manage fighters and bombers" UI element in the selection panel. It also solves the problem with min...

<t> I'm unsure how long it's been this way but Hive Minds like the Monarchy form of government. I set up a bug smashing game hoping for lots of combat and they all like me because of my Monarchy government. <br/> <br/> In the Galactopedia Hive Mind is supposed to be a natural rival of Monarchy. So o...

<t> 1. The natural state of weaponized mining stations and resort bases needs to be "attack enemy targets" NOT "attack when attacked"<br/> <br/> 2. The natural state of any ship or base with fighters on board should be to "launch all" when an enemy is in the same system. If this can't be done, an al...

<t> Hey WCG. You are absolutely correct about the response time. I hope that it gets fixed because it really detracts from the game having to constantly micro them. <br/> <br/> As pointed out above, do not use patrol. Use the move to order. Set a home base for the fleet so it will return back to the...

<t> If the primary concern is with the AI's inability to cope with upgrading stations via constructors then the only solution is to have non orbital bases upgrade as part of the auto upgrade routine. Simply allow manufacturers to make the component parts needed for the base upgrades. The parts are t...

<t> Is there a way to stop new ships from getting unique names? I really hate this. If I design a ship and name the design to "m300 Vanguard", I want the ships built to this specification to be named by their design with a number after it. For example the 17th of such design built would be named, "m...

Will there be a package deal including the game and all expansions available?

elliotg you may want to do a once over of every AI design. I've noticed other designs (I can't recall which) with low power.
