I've been told this shouldn't be happening, so save file attached

Small issue with a major impact - hopefully it'll be fixed in the planned hyperspeed update? First off: I've disabled colony events, so this shouldn't be happening. I'm not sure why it is, I'm not using any mods. I've put a lot of effort into cultivating high-quality colonies in my latest game but I...

I'm seeing some really frustrating fleet behaviours in 1.0.4.8. A fleet will be working just fine, all nice and tidy in one area of space, and at some point the AI may decide that an auto-managed fleet needs to be reinforced, ships need to be juggled around or put into different fleets. I've noticed...

Hi, I jumped back into the updated version of the game (1.0.4.8) and wanted to report some issues, in order of annoying-ness. Entering the research screen with overlays open or units / items selected can still reduce the framerate to 6FPS (depends on the overlay / selection) I'm still seeing message...

Just an update for anyone with the same issue - I hadn't realised but you can get a significant bonus from negotiating a deal that gifts tech, which is helpful as a workaround, but I still think the envy modifier is far too high.

... the next best thing is to start with one hull (destroyer) and customize it for the specific strategic roles we want it to fulfill. ... component bays gives a bit more flexibility to ship design too, so the concept of "fast destroyer" would disappear from the tech tree and be replaced ...

Add in a player-defined concept of "Strategic Role" for ships. This is different than the tactical role behavior that determines ship behavior in combat, and represents a line of ships designed with the same purpose in mind. Strategic Roles would be specific to each ship class. Examples o...

I retire them at shipyards away from planets (like the absorbed Pirate stations or abandoned). I rarely use them for shipbuilding since they are always lacking resources anyway. This way the ships aren't clogging up the regular shipyards and those lone shipyards get some resources to work with. Yea...

Imagine if there was a real world power that was significantly more powerful than every other country in the world. They'd constantly be rebuffing invasion attempts from Cameroon or New Guinea; nations driven mad with jealousy at the gross imbalance in living standards. I laughed, thank you. It bre...

You are right, those 10 came from -7 friends with enemies and -3 Government, if you could get rid of those it is equal to +10 I removed those two while writing, but did not fix the calculation. Ah, thanks. Same here. Envy is the most broken and weird mechanic in the diplomacy. We need an additional...

As @ Emperor0Akim put it the full Diplomatic Research gives you a +15 and iv seen gift go up to +30 via tech trading add to that trade agreement(+20), map sharing(+5 to +15), non-aggression(+10), migration(+5) you can easily get over the malus and if you have a good reputation(+7) and actually assi...

Fairly straightforward issue here, either retiring 'acquired' ships (from debris fields) is too slow, or bugged. I had noticed a couple of times that my economy seemed to have stalled or tanked and couldn't figure out why, until by pure coincidence I went to check the construction queues and found t...

I think it's overcompensating for a relatively weak or ineffective reputation system. Getting a -2 or -3 reputation from declaring war for no reason, or conducting a hostile invasion of an independent system just doesn't stack up against a -35 modifier for being peaceful, but powerful. Is this somet...

You carried an extra 10 there, it's +35 total.

So break even if you spend a century or so researching diplomacy for all the races and give gifts and happen to have treaties with their friends

Here's what I mean - I can't see any number of gifts, treaties or niceties that are going to fix that -35 effect

Unfortunately, that makes no difference. The problem is the sheer weight of the envy effect (e.g. -30) far outstrips any impact that gifts or diplomats can have on relations. It's not a matter of incorrectly setting the relationship - it's that the negative modifier of this effect is simply too larg...

The envy modifier is a little broken There's something I've noticed over the last few short playthroughs I've done, which is that the negative modifier applied by "We are envious of your huge strength and power" is for me, kind of ruining the experience a little. I tend to focus on econom...

I have a save game that reliably reproduces the "notifications disappearing too soon" bug, please see attached.

On my system, the messages disappear long before they are supposed to, after 2-3 seconds. Should be plenty of messages appearing for you to check against.

A minor but insanely annoying bug - Independent ships are repeatedly notifying me that they've spotted a collosal ship in x system. I know, it's mine.

I get multiple messages about this per in-game day

Confession: I did not follow the troubleshooting steps above. Initial impressions of 1.0.2.6 though; that's a significant improvement! There are a couple of hiccups still (missed messages, occasional periods of slow game / fps) but overall this feels a LOT smoother in mid/late game! I expect some of...
