if you ask me, what I find odd about these minor races is that they somehow mange to keep they population at 3 for hundreds of turns ... and then the moment major race colonizes the planet, they realize that they want to start multiplying like rabbits

Just to point out to zolobolo that this game is, in spirit, based on the game Master of Orion ][, and shields, in quadrant form, and station rotation was in that game. Maneuver unit does not allow station rotation, believe me ive tried. yeah, MoO rotates station by 90 degrees at the beginning of ea...

anything that "is_ship" and has "never_rotates" property (station, asteroid bases, etc.) rotates its shields 90 degrees at the end of turn I am quite lazy to rotate the craft, so just shields are rotating ... fore->port->aft->starboard->fore... it is not super thoroughly tested, ...

+10

1. Only allow heavy and small craft type mounts (and maybe rocket types) on planetary defences I used to have a mod similar to this idea, you wouldn't dare to approach a planet without a few fighter carriers of your own as a counter measure ... I think the mod is long lost, but I can redo it again ...

thanks for info

I have to shamefully admit that I drifted away from pure 4x genre this winter, just finished S.P.A.Z. (never played it before) and am dabbing very lightly at Star Traders: Frontiers

what title says ... mainly mods from harpy eagle on strategy and AI improvements (ship design, AI research), I know Sven plan was to implement them into the vanilla game (some of them at least) ... so before I figure it out the hard way, anyone have some insight ? thanks

yeah sorting is for some reason borked ... hey look, it's winter again, time for hibern.... err, computer games

this may still work ? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=532

ah, ok

I thought that that functionality is some kind of overlay, that brings the file up that contains the element

works so far

now, when I click "New Game" and ctrl-click on race description file RACES.lua opens, but ctrl-clicking anywhere else (race picture, home world) nothing happens

that is true, well I patiently wait for next DLC then

Can you make all ground troop types (tanks, marauders and Assault Marines) be always sorted to the end of the planet pop MGMT screen? It is a recurring bug that these unit types are dynamically sorted during embarking and disembarking troops and thus the player needs to "chase" the icon d...
