Re: New features to test: ship design revamp & engines limit

Completely off topic to this thread. Sorry about that. :( But no, it's deliberate, they're not the only species that prefer doing something they're not as good at and it acts as a mild nerf on their otherwise overpowered stats. There's a thread on it somewhere when we set the preferences for all sp...

Re: New features to test: ship design revamp & engines limit

Damn... I've obviously read the initial post incorrectly. I was hoping to be able to rearrange the order of the 'Producible Items list' as there are a number of things that pop up as the game goes on, that I will never build, but take up valuable visible real estate at the top of that list.
Sigh...

Re: New features to test: ship design revamp & engines limit

Any chance of someone fixing the Kobuntura script?
They have 'great industry', yet their preferred focus is research... seems a little counter intuitive.

Re: Replace Victory with Achievements

Current one can "win" a game of FreeOrion by researching the transcendence tech, or by defeating all other empires. These goals are rather boring or tedious, and don't give much motivation to do creative / different varied things in game. I have never finished a game for this very reason.

Hmmm... well there you go. It was my first time playing them. Lesson learnt. :)

Problem colonizing a toxic planet for Chato

I've just started a game playing Chato. I've found a toxic planet (preferred planet type) with a computronium moon in a black hole system, and there is another planet with Kobuntura. When I look at the planet suitability, it's Good (-23). I thought this may be a visual bug, but when I colonized it, ...

Re: General experience with 0.4.7 RC1

Minor issue.
Systems that have all Spacial bodies occupied with a colony/outpost, still give you the option of creating an outpost base. This is pointless as you will not be able to use it.

Bug?

I couldn't stop laughing at this (and I do understand it was said with a smattering of semi-sarcism). Obviously, we all play video games to be in tune with the real world. :lol:

Planet ordering in star systems

Currently, planets are displayed in order according to their number suffix. From a visual perspective, star systems with a large number of planets (I've just found one with 7) starts to become a little cumbersome, having to scroll up and down the list (which gets bigger once you start colonizing som...

Re: Ship sizing on map

I had a look at that earlier, but it didn't seem to work. Having another play with it, I found there were a number of settings I had to change to get what I wanted.
Thanks Geoff. :D

Ship sizing on map

When zooming the map out/in, there is a threshold where the ship/monster icons change from 'informative' to 'general' i.e. zooming in, you can tell what type of ship is there (scout, troop, fighter etc), zooming out, they all look the same. I like zooming out as much as possible to have more of the ...

Planet naming error

I think something went wrong at Krull. :?
It doesn't appear to be affecting production, but I've only just noticed it, so not sure.

Re: UI - Keyboard Shortcuts

That looks like you've got an out of date stringtable, not sure how that's happened, try downloading a new copy from github? Ahhh, ok. That would explain it. I've had to 'doctor' the stringtable to change some of the names of various things I didn't like, and just copy that file over the new versio...
