That sounds good, and is about what I'd expect.

Yes.

Actually, construction ships have to get resources before they can build things.

One way they do that is by somehow 'faking' full screen...

Which I honestly didn't think possible.  I'm guessing it's something new with the .net framework.

What's a 'grog wargame'?  O.o

<t> Perhaps the advisor could design the new design, then throw an alert to the user that 'automated updates have rendered design XYZ to large for current construction technology!&nbsp; { Edit | Ignore | Attempt to auto redesign }'&nbsp; Auto redesign would be an option where the AI would try to ...

<r> My advisers won't shut up about attacking everyone in sight, and it's getting annoying. I don't want to turn automation off -- amongst other things, they're really good at helping me notice when a friend has a trade sanction against them I might get lifted. And I think the military adviser ...

Zenox have an excuse because of their (powerful!) shield unit. I've seen situations where my ships shields have been regenerating faster than incoming fire, greatly annoying the pirates harassing them

Yeah.&nbsp; The first one goes through period the end, then the second one onward does the right checks.&nbsp; No clue how the beta missed this one!

Yeah, some way to distribute the AIs through the galaxy evenly would be nice.

<t> I've been meaning to post about this.<br/>
<br/>
Basically, when you first put money on the screen, it doesn't check how much money the AI has.&nbsp; When you go to add money, it checks and caps it to the amoupnt they have (negative, if they're broke).&nbsp; So you can offer 10K when they only ...

Hmmm... Partially built ships leaving space dock? Sounds like the Enterprise in the Star Trek movies always understaffed or never working properly [:'(]

<r> I'm sure everyone who uses the 'suggests ships' setting runs into this situation every once in a while. The advisor gets it into it's head that you need a new resupply ship, despite your military being defensively, not offensively, oriented. You say no. So it comes back a while later because it ...

Just click on it and select retrofit option in the contextual menu. I did it yesterday. I don't have the game right now but if you can't find it I will take some screens when I go back home. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Doesn't work on deep-space ...

Auto-buildling of troops and private economy makes sense, I guess.

According to the game, I have a huge cash flow, but every time the month ticks over I don't actually gain any money. I have a huge cashflow, but I never seem to see any of it! Any ideas what's going on?

<r> How do I retrofit starbases? I just got a new type of lab, and I want to retrofit my black-hole orbiting research base with it, but I appear to have to build a brand new base instead! <E>:(</E><br/>
<br/>
Edit: Also, while there is no retrofit option for the above scenario, trying to retrofit my ...

<t> I don't think the various helper AI talk to each other, or something. I'm getting contradictory "Lets attack race X" followed by "Lets lift our trade sanctions against race X" messages in rapid succession. I think I even had a 'set trade sanctions' followed immediately by a 'try for free trade ...

<t> Did they take the money out, or is the transaction merely pending?&nbsp; I don't remember all the terms correctly, but several online companies get in trouble because of the following process:<br/>

1.&nbsp; You enter your card info into the website 2.&nbsp; They send a request to your bank ...

Strange; I've often had the AI say "here's a fleet, there's a pirate base, let's go introduce 'em".&nbsp; Mind you, it doesn't do it as quickly as I would, but...
