Like I said: putting another hard limit on the amount of ships will change this as it gives a secondary value to all ships. In the above particular example: If metal is piling up due to the player having hit the coin limit, the advantage of metal efficiency disappears: If the coin system is working...

Yeah, it's a feature that's been on my TODO list for years now. One of these days, I may actually find the time to code it up ;) Wouldn't recommend it: if you have a low entry-level option to simulate battles, that reduces the value of galaxy battles. I have noticed this on myself in Total War game...

Asteroid Stations replace regular Space Stations; they're not supposed to compete with Starbases. It's true that the extra armor is not very useful on a civilian station, but the advantage of an asteroid station is that they're cheaper than regular space stations. The cost of building a regular spa...

The pollution/fallout would be a different metric, but I could see it interacting with the terraforming system. Heavy ecological damage could affect the temperature of the planet ("nuclear winter"), which might push the terraforming meter in one direction or the other. Sounds good: nuclea...

What do you mean with "Yorthin"?
Yoral or Orthin?

Lore-wise, I could see "before we started building interstellar ships we experimented with unmanned probes, and collected some data about the surrounding systems in the process."
But that would beg the question why all scouting during the game has to be done with ships...

Probably a bug - I suspect the "AI colonises planet" event gets resolved before the "Harpies attack AI fleet" event.

Do you happen to have a save where it happened, to make it easier to debug?

When humans salvage a battlecruiser, they get the (worthless) 'Battlecruiser' tech. Wouldn't it make more sense to get the tech equivalent, Dreadnoughts (unlocking Battleship)? Some races have both Battlecruisers and Dreadnoughts (Gremak and Orthin). But you're right that capturing a tech that does...

The description for the Built-In slots says "Missing INFO"

I agree, different engine types would definitely be interesting; or maybe just engine mods, unlocked by the techs that currently give a flat speed bonus. Either way, ships would need a new "Engine" slot. (Or maybe "Main Engine", to distinguish it from the extra "Manouvering ...

Noticed that Marauders do not offer slave types that can be found in their direct vicinity. Is this still due to the Marauders not attacking the AI? If yes, this might slowly be lifted now that the Marauders have been nerfed a bit game_7526: Once again running into the old bug where Marauders get s...

In terms of what the player can see, it's sufficient for the Marauder bases to have slaves of the appropriate races from its neighbors (which I think it already does). Although having the AI and Marauders fight sounds cool, the player doesn't see it, so all it does is weaken the AI factions. I can'...

zolobolo wrote:Rotation of facing to disperse damage over multiple shield segments is an exploit of the gmae mechanics as far as I can tell and not a feature.

I'm pretty sure it's an intended feature, particularly considering that there are weapons specifically designed to counter it.

Maybe it would be better if the fillers were settings, rather than projects?
So a planet set to "research" would do research every time it's not building anything, without the player having to re-queue research after issuing a build order.

Looks like Sven forgot to update the Development Changelog thread... plus, the in-game changelog has the updates from last week mixed in with the updates from yesterday. So, untangling a bit, here's everything newer than 2018-06-16 (last entry in the thread)... Patch notes for 11/18/2018: * Reduced ...
