<t> Not quite sure if i understood you correctly, but i have a similar problem with fighters on my space ports.<br/>
The only way to get them to attack something that does not attack the port itself is to manually launch the fighters after the port was constructed and the fighters produced. <br ...

<t> johan said, as i understand it, loading a saved game that was played without a mod will not use a newly installed one even if you have still loaded that theme/mod. <br/>

I don't know if that is true, but you can always change the theme back to default before loading an old save to be ...

The new AI-Mod 1.02(beta atm) has put them on a better/earlier place in the research tree, which should make it, in conjunction with the slower more gradual warp drives it also has ...

GEM-style ship markings for all Extended Mod races. Also, pirates. <br/>

You also removed the token weapon on the carriers.

Can't wait to try supply ships and invading with sneaky cheesy tactics.

I hope i get myself slaughtered. [:)]

I don't believe ships docked can access the fuel cells, but without one the station should not be able to generate any power, so i believe you need at least one at any rate. I don't think the need of the own reactor can be satisfied from cargo bays alone.

<t> I think the thread title is misleading, almost no one actually argues for planets to be invincible as long as stations are there or the orbit is not completely cleared.<br/>
<br/>
What i meant when i agreed with OP in my first post without further elaborating at that time, was a.) the status ...

<r> I just tried it, manually upgraded a escort design, saved a template under escort. Without saving started a new game, loaded the design.<br/>

<t> Mining stations no, not really. But i also play usually with weak pirates, and if the annoy me i might reconsider.<br/>
<br/>
Since the private sector has to pay for the maintenance it wouldn't be that much of a expense though.<br/>
<br/>
I once drove my private sector into a grinding halt ...

<t> Lore considerations are nice and not unimportant for atmosphere, but in the end it's only gameplay that counts.<br/>

While the tractor beam might have fixed the invasions being very easy to pull off, the huge potential gains remain.<br/>

<t> Pirates are mean, and in a Pre-Warp start, they can find derelict ships with advanced tech. You can find them too, but they get them with warpdrives(since they got the tech) and are mobile and scouting systems from the first day.<br/>
<br/>
If they find one or two of those, you are screwed ...

<t> I just started to watch the series, so i am not going to read this thread, but i would like to say thank you for doing it.<br/>
It is nice to watch, relaxed and not done by hyperventilating overexcited guys who seem to try to emulate a dota 2 cast. <br/>

<t> I had great success with mixed fleets. <br/>

Heavy protected, fast shortrange escorts. Not much damage, especially when you choose to have tractors or pods on them. Point blank, no matter if the target is weaker or stronger.<br/>

Missile or Torpedo frigates, relatively weak ...

<t> Normally it is a bad thing to remove strategic decisions from a 4X game, but in the case of a almost never used concept i propose incorporating supply ships with a more useful and related research.<br/>

<t> I would like that too, not just for the AI. [;)]<br/>

I have early on always trouble with my explorers turning around halfway. With the more gradual(and awesome btw) and slower early hyperdrives of AI-Mod/Research Rebalanced it just got a lot "worse".<br/>

<t> That has happened to me when i got maps with system info.<br/>
(A thing i would gladly get rid of completely, it takes part of the fun of exploring out of the game. At least not a dozen at once.)<br/>

The ships refused to explore the system/planet because the empire already knew it. I ...

<t> I find it rather difficult to find a use for a supply ship before they become practically obsolete with the extended ranges that the better cells and drives allow. <br/>
<br/>
The AI should be even more pressed to use them properly. Apart from pirates i do not see real use for them.<br/>
