Linear techs and designs and some other questions

[finrodfelagund]

Hey, do linear techs like aerodynamics, payload optimization, energy gun/weap affect current designs or not ? If they do, do they affect currently built models or do I need to build new replacements/design new models ? Another thing is major diplomacy. We get random events that can change a regime's attitude toward us but is it possible to do or trigger those events manually ? Even if we could not turn them from hostile to friendly at least we should be able to warm relations a little bit.

I don't follow blogs or new much, so is there an ammo factory feature planned or ability to delete obsolete designs ? They just take up too much space in a rather unwieldy UI so after some point navigating between designs becomes a tedious affair.

the level they effect a design is what it was at when you designed the item. so yes you need new designs as you improve. To see what your tech is go to MNG screen and the models page and use the different pages there.

thanks, that makes more sense than what I theorized, thought the model could be updated background so the optimizations affect them.

another question; how can I cancel postures ? there are no options in ohq commander so do I need to play another one or I'm simply stuck with it if I don't want to play another one ?

I think your stuck with the last one you played. But I could be wrong.

There is a "cancel posture" button in Unit Admin of the HQ unit.

To make a design obsolete go to MNG screen then to models click on the model and select to make it obsolete.

You get a gift card in Major diplomacy by giving credits to a major you can effect their view of you.

this only increases relationship rather than the opinion(or it does but never ocurred to me).

hiding obsolete designs somehow screwup the sidebar sorting too so I prefer not to use it. also even if we can obsolete them we should be able to delete too.

thanks, it never ocurred to me to check there somehow...

I haven't been able to get this to work. Any regime that isn't already Friendly requires an impossibly high skill roll. The Plea of Friendship card raises relations without requiring a skill roll.

Late game AI spams robotic soldiers which are just trash against humans and get trashier with the extreme stacking penalty they receive. AI has enough population and resources to form up equivalent armored/mechanized formations yet doesn't.

Another thing is OOBs. We definitely need the ability to mark OOBs as obsolote to clean up the clutter a little bit and also keep tracking custom formations easier.
