Re: High memory demands render game unplayable

Thank you for the report.

There was indeed a memory leak highlighted by recent changes. It should be fixed by https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/pull/3050

Re: Make pro/res tech increases 0.1 or 0.2 (huge nerf)

I think the RP production techs need some tweaks. Current RP tech progression is something like: 0.2/pop base 0.05/pop algo elegance +1 flat NAI +3 flat Artificial minds The time you get Artificial Minds, it is equivalent to 12 (average) pop on research focus. It will easily double your RP output wh...

Re: Reduce shields cost

As mentioned on the Github PR, unless there are specific balance reasons, should probably adjust the Deflector to 33(-34%) or 35 PP (-30% but a "round" number) instead of 30 PP (-40%) so that the "regular" shields are scaled by (roughly) the same factor...

Should probably exclude fuel parts as well.

Re: AI Colony base travelling the starlanes

Unfortunately, the savegames do not cover the critical time where the AI considered to queue the ship. My best guess is that you or another AI cut the supply network between Phad Alpha (where the ship was built) and any shipyard. Assuming that is true, the AI then tries to do something useful with t...

Re: Inquiry about custom sitreps

What would be the appropriate way to fetch such objects as well, while ensuring that completely unknown systems that don't show up at all don't appear? Assuming you are using the python scripts, you probably want to get the VisibilityTurnsMap like this: vis_by_turn_map = universe.getVisibilityTurns...

Re: Inquiry about custom sitreps

Hmmmm, then is there any other way to print readouts besides using sitreps, like for example dumping it in messages? You could use python turn_event scripts which are run on the server to generate a sitrep (or even simpler: just print to a file) --- a/default/python/turn_events/turn_events.py +++ b...

Re: Should fighters really act as cannonfodder?

The merged PR only updated the player-available weapons.

Shouldn't targets of monster weapons also be restricted?

Re: 0.4.9 release procedure

It has zero impact on the 0.4.9 AI. The bug only shows up after extending the AI interface to provide additional functionality (i.e. allowing the AI to queue move orders like the human can using shift-clicking in the UI). Since that functionality is not exposed to the AI in release branch (nor in ma...

That conclusion is not supported by the data. Your data only shows that it is a bad idea for the chaff-player to mirror the low shots, high armor ship designs.

Re: Anybody knows how chaff scale the bouts?

Is it a third for three bouts, because it is effectively only soaking hits in a single bout? Probably not. When there are ships dying in the first bout, then the enemy first bout damage is higher than the one in subsequent bouts. Subsequently, your chaffs block a higher portion of the damage than 1...

Re: A little less comsat spam

I'd thought i'd heard that the problem was that comsats were cheap, fast, and didn't accrue maintenance costs, so spamming them had no drawbacks. The cost-change will have some early-game implications. It does not change lategame problems. Decoys scale extremely well into the lategame as 1) Their (...

Re: Shots distribution

I feel like this would be better visualized with something more like a bell curve. Well, shots distribution does not follow a normal distrubution. The curves you get are like the ones showed in the OP. Well, another way to plot data would be to look at the probability of a given ship taking n hits....
