<t> A ramscoop would be a nice way for a ship to slowly replenish fuel.&nbsp; Of course if engines are strictly tied to a particular element this may not work.&nbsp; And I guess bases actually refine elements into a form usable by ships but I don't know if I need that much realism in my 4X game ...

Well think of this class of ship as a cheap alternative to a full fledged starbase until you can afford to build one near an anomaly.&nbsp; And what do I care as the Emperor if I'm ordering a crew to orbit an anomaly for a few months?&nbsp; Not my problem...[;)]

<t> Perhaps this could be added in a later patch or a mod?&nbsp; I'd love to build large explorer ships with tech labs.&nbsp; Make it so much of the space has to be devoted to research lab and power instead of weaponry in order to have it more in an explorer role.&nbsp; The amt of research generated ...

I believe some form of mass retrofitting is needed... but not a "retrofit all" only button, we need abit more control than that<br/>
IMO, if you were to select multiple ships, you can still right click -> retrofit -> select upgrade<br/>
The ...

<t> With a game with this much complexity there are bound to be bugs and ways to improve it.&nbsp; What made this game worth taking a chance on is the commitment that Matrix and the developer have shown in addressing our concerns and listening to player input.&nbsp; Thanks for the hard work and ...

Thanks, Erik!&nbsp; The expansion planner is a nice streamlined way to filter colony prospects and send ships to found new worlds...or to their doom.&nbsp; But it is a nice feature.

I was a bit concerned about the real time aspect of it, but I could not have been more unjustified. The real time is great, it isnt to fast, and if it ever is, you can slow it down to a crawl, <br/>

<t> Hi!<br/>
<br/>
So an automated colony ship arrived at a planet which was infested with space scorpions (forget the actual game name).&nbsp; Seeing that it was probably not a good idea to stick around it was hightailing it out of there.&nbsp; Will the colony ship get new orders automatically to ...

<t> Hi!<br/>
<br/>
Was wondering if it's possible to have new ships "spawn" away from the planet/spaceport they are being built from.&nbsp; Was trying to give some orders to individual ships and they were rather lost among a pile of ships on top of the planet.<br/>

Just starting to dig ...

I'd also like ghost markers or something on the screen indicating recent contacts. Nothing more frustrating than "spotting" enemy units, and then the screen shifts to another unit before you can memorize where on the map that unit ...

<t> Just started playing FPG again after a bit of a pause and having fun with it. As for future scenarios, I'd like to see hypothetical US invasion scenarios featuring National Guard level units and equipment with "partisan" resistance units vs Soviet airborne and tank units. It would be kind of ...

Haven't played for a bit but once 1.03 is released I'll probably start playing again. I play single player, no PBEM...for now anyway.

<t> Apologies if this has been suggested already but would it be possible to have some sort of delay hostile force order a la Highway to the Reich? I'd like to be able to set up a delayed fighting withdrawal with specific waypoints that my unit should follow. You could possibly link the probability ...

Ahh, so there is a tutorial. Sigh, where's my wallet...

<t> Hmm, this game wasn't on my radar screen but after some reading I'm pretty intrigued. Apologies if this was asked already but is there a tutorial to ease the player into the game? I don't know how complex or easy the game controls are. The game is at a nice price point for digital download but ...

<t> I don't know if this has been brought up or not but does the game have a blown bridge icon? I was playing the last British scn and had these engineer units. I was wondering what the heck am I gonna do with these units but then saw all the neat things they can do. So near the end of the game I ...

<t> So I played the "A Few Good Tanks" scenario after patching as NATO and was wondering about the WP use of arty in its attack. I had made the mistake of not moving my HQ one turn and it was enough for the WP to zone in on it. And it was a strangely pleasant surprise when I heard the "Gas! Gas! Gas ...

Artillary is a big factor in this game, and changing the chemical dispersion time will have a lot of impact. <br/>
I'm just thinking of the problem of unlimited minelets in my Non-Staff rules games (the game quickly bogs down into a maze ...

<t> Excellent! I'm glad that the ability to change SOP at the HQ level will be in the upcoming update along with some AI tweaks.<br/>

I posted this in a previous thread but I was wondering if there will be any changes to the way chemical attacks are modelled, specifically contaminated ...
