RE: Other Possible Design Mode

Google it...

By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each remaining number is the sum of the previous two. Some sources omit the initial 0, instead beginning the sequence with two 1s.

This leads to a steep increase pretty quickly.

Whitescreen

<t> Not sure why, but my galaxy vanished. This is the last save of my current galaxy which I noted previous problems with. Currently it's unplayable as the main screen is white with red borders and an X. This is after an unhandled exception error. Similar to what I previously reported.<br/>

I've always liked using a Fibonacci sequence for tech levels...&nbsp; The first I ever saw that was in Stars! and boy did that provide a steep curve near the end of the tree.

RE: Ships always retrofit at home colony.

It seems I'm partially wrong. Right-clicking sends them to my top-value colony, which is no longer my homeworld.&nbsp; But it's still not the nearest colony by far.&nbsp; And they don't seem to be getting stuck in the queue.

Sounds like that one frigate attacked or hit a neutral by accident then.&nbsp; Try sending it for a retrofit.&nbsp; or at least out of that system.

Should resupply ships fight back?

<t> I have a well shielded, well armed resupply ship parked in a gas cloud that doesn't harvest anything except enemy fleets. What I just noticed was that it's under attach and NOT firing back. But as shields hit 50% and it begins to undeploy, it starts firing back and destroys the attackers.<br ...

RE: 1.0.4.5 construction ships stuck in retrofit for a decade

To scrap the ones stuck in retrofit, you need to scrap them in the planet's construction yard screen.&nbsp; you'll get back some cash if you do that for the ones in the queue, but nothing for the one in the yard.
