Hi, nweismuller! Glanced at LP, unexpectedly encountered pretty detailed piece with lots of screenshots and in-character writing. So will dive in it later, without rush and in appropriate mood. Thank you for the effort!


I'd be curious to hear your reactions once you get a real chance to look ...

Hail to Sven the Christmas Sorcerer! Glad about forum, and wish Sven and Arioch and all SiS admirers happy new year!

Hello! 2) There are many interesting proposals in Suggestions thread http://stars-in-shadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29 . To warm up, something simple could be tried, like reporting what exactly has arrived to colony by civilian transport instead of generic "Civilian transport has arrived".

Maybe some Computer Sciences interns would be willing to participate with consultative help from Sven?

Let me pull out some old stuff... I think, all agree that boarding is slightly OP. Maybe forbid boarding until shield is depleted from the boarder's side for Boarding Pod or any side for Shuttles?

Recently, while bombing out another colony to cut enemy's range, I was pondering how to avoid this unpleasant action. Someone already proposed to make range from Fuel Depot greater than from colony. So my suggestion is following: let bare colony to not provide range at all. Colony ship (but not ...

Please, add swamp zones to paradise planets at the expense of forests, to make gremak population a bit more useful.

If, as it seems, there is fan census in progress, I'll also add a word. The material for DLC2 shown by Arioch looks really great, and (possibly) in high degree of readiness. Probably, not only me keeps hope alive to see one day a final push turning already good game to perfect.

Seen two occurrences explaining colony and nest sharing the system:
1) harpy reinforcements were underway when the system was cleared and claimed;
2) fleet containing colony ship or outpost arrives at a harpy system, and notifications to fight harpies and claim the system appear simultaneously ...

Suggestion for laughably low (down to 0) resource ultimatums: calculate them based not on victim's stockpiles, but on amounts produced. If agreed, confiscate stockpiles, then pay the rest with amounts that normally go to stockpiles.

I have two save games now that have failed to continue by a LUA error. "chibi is missing required field: race -> nil" in MoraleReports.lua, 85.

I'm on v38803 (GOG "development branch"). I never had any issues on the stable branch. I guess I need to return to it. What are the chances my saves will ...

Minor nitpick: When choosing construction, on inferno and barren worlds farm is dimmed with the explanation "Farming is not allowed". Who is that mighty authority who does not allow faming? Of course, we, players, know who he is, but maybe "is not possible" would sound better?

Is there a chance for a minor update?
Is there something that you feel needs to be addressed in the short term?
At least http://stars-in-shadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27&start=1800#p11479 .
And the integration with Population Panel mod would be nice.
PS: I would leave Ion Cannon as is ...

You could put a Galactic News Network overlay to report on the Whatever/Those Guys' war. ;)


Speaking of battles, something I'd like to see in this kind of game would be mock battles, I mean, military exercises. You've got an ally, you have an allied fleet in the same system as your own fleet ...
