The AI's short sighted use of bombs is really bad when two AI go to war though, as it basically ensures that the AI never benefits much from fighting another AI in the long term, since both sides will likely lose a lot of population, which in the long term greatly weakens the AI's late-game power o...

That feels inconsistent with disconnected harmonized aliens colonizing planets, then. Why does colonization result in immediate response that same turn while transporting them from planet to planet gives you a one-turn grace period? Either both should have an immediate response or both should have ...

Once again something along the lines of MoO 2, where moving ships can't be boarded without shuttles or transporters, seems more balanced. If the game were still in beta, I'd probably change "boarding pods" to "boarding shuttles", and make them easily intercepted by PD, like assa...

Moving Harmonized Lummox units to the new colony (with no Machine Altar yet) also resulted in not seeing the new disconnected artwork: I've tried multiple ways now to make the disconnected population units show up and am just not seeing them, I'm afraid. The problem here is that you're playing too ...

I'm on the In_Development branch, so I expected to see the new disconnected Teros but instead saw this: Ok, figured it out. I made a mistake when importing Arioch's art for the unhappy disconnected Teros, so the game couldn't find the correct art asset, and ended up falling back on the generic Tero...

The planet is still under my control and will never reach the point of rebellion. So it does not appear that the disconnected update is currently working as intended on the In_Development branch. Ok, I thought I knew where the bug was here, but it looks like I was wrong. Could you upload this save ...

No, I'm going to stick with "unintended" or at the very least "contrary to reasonable player expectations given the patch notes." Yeah, this is almost certainly a bug in the colony base code. Thanks for the report. (You can upload games for reference by going to Options, and sel...

I guess it's mostly the "wait, wtf" experiences that stick in my head. "wait, wtf" moments often make good bug reports, if you can remember to upload a game and write a post about how things went sideways when it happened ;) It would be nice if ships in Refit weren't ignored ent...

Its my opinion that there's something about using full destroyer-only fleets that just makes the AI dismiss your fleet strength completely. To them, no large ships equal helpless. The problem, at a low level, is probably this formula (paraphrased from line 88 of design_evaluation.lua): design_comba...

At the very least, I think you'd be confused and afraid... but more likely enraged. Much more so than discontent colonists who simply don't like having Alien Rulers or who are upset because you took some slaves. By the way, the discontent cyborg colonists mentioned in the Steam thread are now worki...

Its kinda weird that tinkers are the only race that can just freely plop down their asteriod outposts in systems you have ships in. Other races give you a chance to hail their outpost ships and tell them you consider this system part of your territory. But the only way to stop tinker outposts is to...

Game_9841. Why travel time from Vega to Rasalgethi is 1 turn, from Rasalgethi to Atria is also 1 turn, but directly from Vega to Atria is 3 turns? You're the first person to notice this in the 4 years since the game was released! My motion code has a rounding bug that sometimes causes things like t...

Seems to me like there should be a 10 turn window where you simply can't attack. Or maybe a reputation penalty if you break peace treaties right away? I might have missed it, but I don't see any such penalty. Anyone know if there is anything to prevent you from abusing the AI like that or downsides...

Game_9816. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the outcome of combat ships vs population transports encounter be latter's guaranteed surrender? Seems, it even generates different pre-battle notification. And once again auto-resolution of such an encounter (any of 2 notifications) at Vega leads t...

but the red/yellow ones? I dunno... related to hull or systems?

Yellow is your total system health. Red is your hull's structural integrity.
