So you'd have like 2 cargo storages for the rest of your game, although upgraded.<br/>
If you actually let it design them, it may remove 1 redundant ...

I dont see how anyone can keep ship design exclusively on manual, how do you put up with constantly having to update all the little civilian trade ship and freighter designs? <E>:P</E><e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

<t> Colony ships only show up as "available" if they're idle ("no mission"). If they're moving, refueling, doing anything at all, they won't. You seem to have opened the expansion planner just after the ship was completed, but before it had "completed its mission" (moving into orbit after ...

There is a variety of problems that can arise because of the game displaying the Galactopedia through an IE component, some of which might be fixed outside the game. Are you able to see Galactopedia entries at all ? If not, can you load them in IE outside the game ?

Got absolutely everything on manual and rule with an iron fist!

Never seen that, maybe you need to retire the world annihilators ?

<t> Not sure exactly what happened there however this may help:<br/>
- You can make designs obsolete quickly by clicking on the right most column (this will toggle the red star, which indicates the design is obsolete).<br/>
- When you save designs, you save designs you created from scratch ...

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>More fuel cells on my starting is going to be a must, yanking the guns for troop ships & replacing with shield is an excellent idea. Making light cruisers is probably a good idea too, but I assume maintenence costs will be same as a cruiser? In that case, it might be ...

<br/>
Galaxies seem to be generated with "patches" of independant colonies and good quality continental planets (well it seems that way to me at least). Once you've colonized your local patch, you might well not find much of anything until your explorers move several ...

<t> One thing that might have happened with your transports is that the lead ship started shooting something in the KG system (being in "engage system targets" mode) that warped away, and it followed all the way to that Abset system. Once the lead ship was there, the other ship would have followed ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>However, when opening the 'Ships and Bases' dialog, it takes well over 30 seconds before I comes up. About 20 seconds in to the process, I hear a single 'beep' which I assume is supposed to coincide with the button click or dialog opening (which is most definitely is not ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>1. I keep reading that pirates don't steal cruiser designs, but soon after I acquired a cruiser (recovered from some ruins), a pirate cruiser showed up. Just coincidence, I suppose? Anyway, I haven't researched the larger construction yards yet, so I'm not sure how I will ...

<t> Pirates, I feel, should be more like barbarians in Civ IV. A hinderance in the early game, that you *have* to deal with, keeps you on your toes from day 1, but as the game progresses and much of the galaxy is explored and settled, they should become extinct. Would be nice if empires had spheres ...

Cruisers are gigantic ships. Why not leave the medical facilities on there for role-playing value?<br/>

<r> It just occurred to me that bigger ship designs such as cruisers have medical centers. Now I understand that medical centers in a spaceport increases happiness/development, however I don't understand what they do for ships. From the galactopædia: <br/>

<t> I'm pretty sure I've seen ships use resupply ships to refuel even though they were not deployed. Of course you'd have to deploy & fill up once before sending your resupply ship away, and I don't expect it to work if you're moving at warp speed, would have to stop the resupply ship first, but ...

<t> GIF, PNG, JPG, it doesn't really matter, they're just for *disk* storage. Graphic cards only handle "raw" graphics or specific compression schemes for fast decompression and random access.

<t> I tend not to let the AI automate anything in my games, so I use (or would like to use) the feature that lets you cycle through idle ships (as I don't always catch all the notifications).<br/>

ORIGINAL: Tophat1812 If you don't protect your constructor or the salvaged ships vs AI warships how is this a bug?

Unless he was at war with that AI, that's entirely irrelevant.
