Nowhere except the actual model design screen. Nuclear engines on trucks are considered to be an oversight by many.

Ah. I see.<br/>

So should they be allowed for tanks? I don't see them available for medium ...

Field testing does not allow additional model changes, it only improves base design. Unfortunately nuclear engines are restricted.

How are they restricted, and where can I find more information on that?<br/>
<br ...

<t> Can anyone explain what's required to add nuclear engines to a vehicle model?<br/>
<br/>
I have the Fusion Engine tech and can add them to trucks, but Medium tanks and mobile artillery only have triple-electric engines as the most powerful engine.<br/>
<br/>
These are base designs, as I'm ...

bump! posted open beta version .06.<br/>
nothing major, but quite a few bug and glitch fixes.<br/>

making progress with the S&S editor but that will come for the v1.09.x open beta's.<br/>

hoping to soon upgrade the main version ...

Am I correct to understand the next big development goal on the roadmap is a scenario editor?

If so, do we know any details as to its features and what it will allow you to configure for a game?

<r> So, I saw that there is a "User Test Mode" enabled by modifying the usertestmode text file. IMO, this is great for my playstyle considering I don't have a huge amount of time to learn and play the game.<br/>
<br/>
I was puttering along in my game with this. Having taken research off my plate ...

<t> Are you starting with a pre-warp empire/game?<br/>
<br/>
As I understand it, the Ancient Guardians spawn is keyed to the player completing research for Warp Field Precursors. If you haven't researched that yet, the Ancient Guardians will not have spawned.<br/>
<br/>
Also, if you've skipped ...

Well having played games with default designs and modded designs, I have come to a conclusion.<br/>
<br/>
Freighters aren't the biggest problem, but having mining stations that are not designed optimally are.<br/>
<br/>
Although I have found ...

<t> While the player controls how many mining stations are built, maintenance for the stations are paid for by the Civilian side of the economy.<br/>
<br/>
I'm no expert on the economics of the game, but here is how I understand it:<br/>
The civilian economy get its revenue from "economic ...

<t> I seem to recall memory issues relating to saving the game from a long while back (ie. pre-shakturi expansion pack). Games that ran a long time eventually resulted in memory issues when the game was saved, whether auto-save or manual. The resulting savegame was corrupted. If you had auto-save ...

Have you used the game editor to confirm you have influence at the planet? If so, have you tried removing that influence with the editor to see if your freighter either stop going, or keep adding influence when they do?

Do the design template files get re-loaded on game start or savegame re-load, or do we need to start a new game for the template changes to be seen in-game?

Edit: Obviously, I'm referring mostly to AI ship designs.

I believe the key lies in the mining platforms. I build huge platforms with lots of mining utinsils. The freighters can only carry what has been mined and if you have weak mining stations you are going to get small loads. Increase the ...

<t> I've seen freighters carrying larger loads, but ultimately I think the issue is that the game doesn't seem to prioritize freighters by size.<br/>
<br/>
For example, it seems to send large freighters for small jobs, like such-and-such empire ordered 75 units of whatever, rather than reserving ...

Pick up your troops, yes. Abandon the planet, no.

That is, if by abandon the planet you mean relinquish ownership of it. It's a feature I'd like to see, though.

<t> There has been a bug since assault pods were introduced where they are occasionally not reset for a ship.<br/>
<br/>
Typically this can be seen when the assault pods are launched, but don't make it to the target before it is either destroyed or it jumps away. Usually, the pods can be seen ...

<t> Stations didn't used to have additional resources deposited when constructed, and people still reported encountering resource shortages. I suspect that resource shortages likely have more to do with the efficiency and prioritization of the private sector AI, and the rate of expansion at either ...

Does Slitherine not have a secure site login?

<t> One of the things I've been watching in my games recently has been the AI's attempts to invade the planets, in particular the homeworlds, of other AI empires. Routinely I see the AI drop off woefully insufficient troops to capture the target planet, in effect doing nothing more than making ...
