<t> If you go to the screen that lists your resources [planner screen]you can have constructors put mining operations on what you pick out and where.You can also click a planet for them to put in a mine,defense base,starbase,resort base or monitering base in the main screen and it will que a ...

Check and see what you have set the refuel option at.I think if it reaches that point the fleet will head to a refuel point no matter what stance you are set at.

<t> My standard ship/Starbase/mining stations/Spaceports will always sport 2 ion cannons[just in case cloud company drops by[:)]] I've not ever had any problems with them.<br/>
I'l add one Ion cannon to my mining ships as well as to my freighters.Since they are non warships they at least have a ...

Arm your ships/bases with Ion cannons and fighters.

@kahuna Thanks for tip on a way to use the gme editor that I was unaware of. I used the main window (which lists all the types of objects), but never thought to click on an object already there on the map.. Thanks again.

Open the editor,click on the planet you want to add the resources to.There ...

Use the editor to add kryton to the nearest gas planet to that spaceport.Then add a gas mining ship using the editor at that planet and it should go to the nearest spaceport when it's full and that may solve your crisis.

Add fighters to your constructors.I arm mine and when it starts to build I manually set my fighters swarming protectively.I'm playing Legends[not Shadows] and this works well for me.

send your agents after the techs..steal them..

<t> I can have later gameplay now as long as I don't want to zoom in and watch any battles which sort of takes away some of the fun. The people who already have the previous installments of this game[pre-Shadows] are just going to have to suck it up as is or wait til the developers make the next ...

<t> So there is no fix for the slowdown in late gameplay[as in the original OP's request] and none in the immediate future[because of it's programming code] but that aspect will be addressed and corrected in the DW2 series? Hmmm...ok... I guess I'l have to wait for that to happen then..[:)] <br ...

Thank you for your confirmations and also for the update info on the upcoming installment of the overall game.

I think I'l keep adding them as I do for healing troops and the happiness factor altho having them not being useful for plagues is counter-intuative in my opinion.[:)]

Medical facilities do add happiness to a colony so altho they may not deter any plagues they will allow my suffering with boils and pus-filled colonists a happier death[;)]

<t> I stand corrected...evidently I've had enormous luck in my games where I have med complexes as I stated above and altho I've had a few plagues they were not crippling to the extent I couldnt make recoveries.I put that down to my amazing doctors but I guess it was due to my people's hardiness ...

I forgot to add that orbiting ships with a med complex onboard is helpful also.

Having a medical complex on an orbiting space station helps deter/fight plagues.I also add them in my defense platforms as a just in case it helps measure.

<t> no this works right here..I'm asking if there may be something in the future here that will alleviate late game problems.The 4g patch isnt going to help so I asked if they were going to make a retro patch that will.If a mod wants to move this or something that's fine but please do not discount ...
