Re: Is in better to mine a resource or to colonize?

i would guess that placing millions of people on a planet would have bigger mining rate than a few houndred in a space station controlling drones.

1913 autobuilder adds "increased elevation" to ships when i cant

Re: Exploration ships stop exploring, I think I know why.

i noticed something else "weird" with my exploration ships in my last game in the early game.
i think after a retrofit (?) a lot of them conga lined to the same asteroid belts... as if they dont mark the location they go to -"hey i scan this place you go elsewhere" ... and all 15 or so out of 30 in ...

Re: A few race specific observations...



I think we should be able to ban Racial technology from the uncontrollable Civil Fleets.
If you put it on a freighter, that Z4 Shield has a high chance of ending up in enemy hands. Either as Capture or Debris.
And it would also help with issues like these.

But only after the pass that makes ...

in general would a ship editor come in handy


in theory they could even use the "ship designer" screen. edit it a bit, add more functions to it and use that as a base for a mod ship editor.

maybe a button somehow in that bottom system panel that lists planets and ships that are in the system at some zoom levels.
and when set to "dangerous" ships will avoid it /escape out of it.
