Quick answer would be anything without seeking (which mostly means not a missile/torpedo) which is assigned to a hardpoint with a narrow arc of fire. E.g. a gauss weapon mounted in a slot that only has 90 degree arc of fire. In theory, the faster your ship can turn to face a target, the faster it ...

Hi, a few days ago Erik mentioned the possibility of a roadmap on bugfixes, and I notice on the google form there is mention of bug tracking that can be followed in the beta forum, which I assume is no longer relevant. When/if you get around to doing a roadmap of planned fixes, is there any chance ...

A related bug can lead to AI building extra ships when advisor suggests to build; in this case money is not deducted, so free but unasked for ships.

And/or to give independence, as an option that would not depend upon passenger/colony ships. Inability to abandon a world in any way is at best an annoyance, and at worst seems to lead to some bugs like the one mentioned by OP.

Out of curiosity, did you have any other colony ships deployed at around the same time, or another colony flagged for colonisation?

I ask, because in my experience, there is some kind of hidden 'list' the AI has of where it is sending ships to when they are first being built, which can get ...

Travel routes seem to be OK, but I know what you mean, something very strange is going on there (though patch notes imply it might be fixed now). The first colony I could make in a nebula, that seemed way further away than all the others I couldn't build in, would let me send a colony ship to it ...

Yesterday, Erik posted in a thread in relation to this, specifically to performance issues and crashes; "Hopefully very soon!", and I suspect that is the best answer you're likely to get at the moment. It's been mentioned elsewhere by the devs that fixing anything that is stopping players from ...

Same here, as far as I can tell, advisor never takes into account if colonization is possible, just if the independent would allow it if it was.

I just want to start by saying I appreciate you are prioritizing problems that are stopping people actually playing the game right now, and there is clearly something very wrong with the AI in my game, so I will be switching off automation at least until I start a new game to give you a break from ...

Something might have changed in the new patch, but this example seems to be the only exception. Suddenly, I can colonise Ackdara in the QN683 system. Only change is that I colonised Maxus started a war and captured Cappa.

There seem to be other examples where, with two identical nebula ...

Good suggestion. I have some QOL requests I would like prioritized over general fixing of colony AI (if that is not a very quick fix), that would mitigate the problems there while it is being fixed:

Allow colony AI to reserve a colony for the ship that it is building/loading colonists for; rather ...

I was sure you must be mistaken, but you are right, I'd not even noticed this before. I'd probably have won my game by now if it was on.

Not exactly sure what it was, but could have been retrofitting/constructing related. Ran the game for a few months, and they had all pretty much left and gone off on missions again.

Anyone had anything like this before? I've heard of big queues of freighters waiting to dock, nearly all of these guys are just hanging around with no mission. Seems very unlikely there is no demand for shipping, I've got free trade agreements with half the galaxy and have been expanding colonies ...

I think some tech does link backwards normally, but I was just wondering if you had random tech paths on in your game, which does very often cause weird backwards links.

Edit: Made me think of this, pretty minor and more amusing than anything. May as well post it here in case tech support thinks it ...

You clearly dont understand game developing/engines and GFX overlays at all ... no point to discuss this with an kid who think he has the newest and best toy from his parrents :P


Not sure what them not experiencing the same issues as you on their rig, or mentioning other games having had ...

I seemed to do OK with a fleet of cruisers, destroyers and frigates, of about equal strength to the hive. Around tier 3-4 tech. I didn't optimise the fleet with hive in mind, so some of my loadouts were definitely not ideal. About the normal ratio of ships for an attack fleet.

Frigates were ...

Yeah, the diplomacy (and several other UI screens) take several seconds to open op, the research screen is the absolute worst for me, I go down to 1-2 FPS; before it recovers a bit, and I can maybe endure the slide show or the mouse-lag-input and pick a research that I want. (In the end I just ...

So I sent that other save via form in the end because it had a reproducible CTD.

I just wanted to update here with an oversight I noticed that could contribute to seemingly wrong colonists ending up at the wrong planet: The new colonies tab will not only send an idle colony ship with a good ...

Good performance?
4 FPS, on a monster gaming PC. lol - it's a slideshow. (and this was only with 1000 stars, not 2000)


I have a similar problem, but it is really intermittent (hence my wild optimism in my previous post). It's very annoying though, and can't be consistently replicated, but it ...
