Thanks for all the hard work following up the release with this support!

I am in early game with tech level 1 under research
I discovered a system with 3(!) derelict fleets orbiting a small planet.
I ordered construction ships to repair the derelicts.
1 frigate was successfully repaired.
any ship larger than a frigate goes into an infinity repair loop with not all ...

<t> I generally play the game as 'Grand Strategy' so I tend to automate about 80% of fleet operations - mainly defensive, repairs etc. and I never see the AI change postures when the Automate Fleet Formation is off. The 'Harass' settings only apply to nations at war or when you have a particularly ...

I have not as yet seen a galactic storm at one of my planets.

Your are right the SM would have caused a 'Fun' ending rather quickly.

<t> I like to build with a combined arms philosophy. So I build a tank design with lots of armor and shields and a modest number of short rage weapons, lots of main thrust to close the battle. But then have another design that is all torpedos,minimal shields and lots of thrust set to stand off. <br ...

<r> Sounds like you have a <U><s>[u]</s>silver mist<e>[/u]</e></U> attacking you. <br/>
Destroy your ships - it does that.<br/>
Render you planet a barren wasteland - it does that.<br/>
A real pain in the kiester when you don't have a large FP fleet. - it is that.<br/>

<t> try selecting race victory conditions only. you might find the win percentages even out a bit better. Part of the challenge of a good strategy game is working within an asymmetry. Sure the Giz can occupy a ton of planets and conquer everyone, but can they do it before your atuuk can breed ...

<t> I stop using the auto retrofit after about 10 game years because it will totally knee cap your military when a significant upgrade is available causing a whole class of star ship to head home and jump in the ship yard conga line. ( I stopped because I once reached a point where I had 126 ships ...

<t> Wow Ice! <br/>
Great response time!<br/>
<br/>
I think you hit the nail on the head regarding troops on larger vessels ( think Star Destroyers ) The alternative is 1 troop compartment on each destroyer. Then the Nerf is early game FP, but lets them invade the independants easily. And you don ...

<t> Icemania,<br/>
<br/>
I am not sure if this suggestion has been made, but I would recommend that aggressive races be given smaller TroopTransport templates so they start invading earlier. The current AI doesn't want to down size a transport to 300 for me. The result is that if I see I am next ...

Keston,

Look at the Resupply design. Perhaps he is set to flee if attacked? is so then change to 'never' - might help?

<t> LOL Cauldyth. You got clobbered by the RNG for sure there. Hyperdeny + fast charging Hyper is a great fleet hunter. <br/>
<br/>
The short answer is the AI is still not up to dealing with a human who micro manages. I have the most fun personally by creating all my fleets - assigning them to the ...

Check the customization file structure.

Ship images should be located in

[theme name]\images\units\ships

<t> Additional advice.<br/>
<br/>
The race text file can be a bit of a dry read with all the index numbers, so I advise adding a comment line at each variable you manipulate or at least as section headings, in order to let yourself know what it does and why.<br/>
<br/>
For instance: <br/>

<t> Love the idea. I would suggest the charge time be around 4-5 seconds would be more fair. With 1 second charge they are near invincible unless they are victims of the on-shot-kill or a lucky rail gun projectile, thus will almost eliminate any pirate risk. <br/>

I am a fan of the Starfleet Universe. Right now I am working through the races. Then making a map. once that is done I will start posting the mod. Research will like depend on the new Expanded research project ( with small tweaks to weapons ). I can't decide if I want to ...

<t> @Icemania<br/>
I have to dissent on your evaluation.<br/>
All weapons shouldn't be able to do everything IMHO.<br/>
Gravitic weapons provide an incredible advantage on the ship to ship front so an incredible weakness against a fairly low level item seems appropriate. However I would agree ...
