<t> Universe is great. <br/>
<br/>
I don't need 3d or faux 3d unless it is conveying important information. <br/>
<br/>
I'd like improvements that would save a lot of time clicking to get information on things (ships most of all, rather than getting essentials in a mouseover - so I can click ...

<t> I've had Extended Universe 1.03 for a while which was packaged together with Blue and resource UI (thread I found is June 2014). I just updated to 19512. <br/>
<br/>
I like the discussion of the AI Mod. From the mod installation description for the UI mod it sounds that flavor elements like ...

Planets are big and can be approached from any direction. The current concept is best. Take landing losses if you dare.

It is an engaging and interesting campaign with some potent AI empires and shows some of the interesting races from Extended.

<t> I manually control troop recruitment and transport. <br/>
<br/>
I have used (designed) several types of transports. One is relatively small and cheap with space for shuttling a few units around in safe skies - a stripped down functional design. The other is the MAT (Marine and Assault ...

Maybe Sunday the 10th?

Feelotraveler is right. A crucial aspect of espionage is identifying counterespionage assets, and missions called off due to the risks are relatively common. Some general idea of detection of counter intel should be available.

<t> USE "OBSOLETE" TO KEEP CONTROL: The simplest way is to create specialist designs and immediately obsolete them in the right design form column after ordering the number you want and before unpausing. AI won't use obsolete designs. No retrofit will occur except when you go and unobsolete them and ...

I usually play whatever empire I get, unless it's off in a void. Them's the breaks.

Pirates, though are more dependent on position and neighbors, so I would want to start off the edge and not too isolated.

<t> <br/>
ANSWER 1: This has considerable tactical importance depending on the nature of the opposing fleets. <br/>
<br/>
ANSWER 2: AI handles colonization star hopping across voids poorly with colonization range limits, so Irregular is considered easiest for the AI because the stars are ...

Thanks. The Resupply was in a fleet until I separate it out to avoid it being caught in a fleet order. Put it in its own fleet and the behavior is better! Though I fear I may speak too soon....

See the Tech Support thread on resupply for ideas.

Will try when I have the chance.

Please advise regarding the next installment.

How would we test the effect on corruption?

<t> The real problem isn't the skittish supply ship but warships acting the same way. <br/>
<br/>
I thought the issue might be that a Flee setting tied to Shield damage might be triggered by any internal damage (worse than a lowered shield, right?) but since Never Flee does not change behavior ...

<t> Resupply Was set as Evade Stronger, All Weapons weaker, Do Not Invade and Flee when Shields 50%. Tried Never flee but it still sets to repair when damage is taken. "Stop" works for only an instant. It can be ordered to redeploy but as soon as it actually starts to deploy it undeploys and switch ...

<t> Yes, the shields were penetrated at least once but not knocked down. The ship turned back each time I ordered the ship back to the planet to deploy. It looks like everything to do with ships is manual and I set stance to When Attacked - for the empire setting I also tried changing the default ...

<t> Can't refuel the fleet since the resupply ship took some damage and when I order it to deploy it undeploys and heads home. This temporarily stopped when I put it on "If attacked" stance, but that seemed to revert(due to defaults?) so the fleet on empty has to slog back home to refuel since the ...
