but the large fleets didn't keep advancing and the AI was splitting them up too much, this game me time to build up my fleets again while chasing down some of the smaller fleets I still had that where wandering about behind the border areas. There is a trick/exploit to deal with this when you notic...

BTW: New tech window is great! I like it and it much better when you don't know full tech tree (at least when playing first time :) ) I like the new design. But i do miss the "queued" symbol in tree view. I tend to queue up a whole bunch of techs at once, at the start and then 3-4 times during the ...

Ok, thanks.
My PC isnt very good, I think I rather wait in this case

Where can i get this Rev (for Windows)?
The newest Revs i see on sourceforge are 5866 for Linux and 5853 for Windows...but no 5859

One minor bug which i've forgot to mention in the previous versions: you do not need to place an outpost on an asteroid to get the production bonus from Microgravity Industry . It is sufficient to have an outpost ship idling in the system. I havent checked if this applies to exobot colony ships as ...

I do the same since it's the easiest and cheapest, imo: organic hull with 4 troop pods. Also, since AI seems to always have a Basic Shipyard and an Orbital Incubator, you can start producing more Troop-Ships right at the front line from captured planets. I use organic hull for colony (and outpost) s...

Weird, i double-checked that the auto-save loads since a manual save of this round always corrupted. I'm afraid this is the only save i have

But i saw Rev 5853 is out. I'll attach a save from that version if i run into this again.

Rev. 5832 Second game this occurs: I cannot invade a (gas) planet. The "invade" button does not show (i have a battle fleet in the system, the gas-planet's shields=0). I've also tried flying in/out again and tried different troop ships/battle fleets: nothing works. Perhaps this is relevant to find ...

I've been trying to figure out a good balance between # of systems and AIs to make the game more difficult. 15-20 systems/AI was actually not more difficult compared to 30-40 systems/AI. Probably due to the reason unjashfan gave. Infact, densely populated maps give an advantage to human players once...

I hope this gets fixed with the next release.
My current game has ~10h invested and neither the manual save nor the last three autosaves work

Also, I'm starting to think we need to give the player a more obvious indicator when he's looking at out-of-date or stale information. I understand why i couldnt invade: stealth > detection strenght But what i dont quite understand: this is round ~30. How did i get any information in the first plac...

Actually, that's only true when you have sufficient detection strength to get through their stealth. Below is a screenshot I just made, me as Trith, opponent Laenfa, tiny galaxy so I could be sure to see their home system. The only thing discernible about their home planet is that it is Ocean and h...

My mistake. Laenfa get +50 detection range (not strenght).
Neutron Scanner finally allowed me to invade.

edit: sorry, i typed while u posted. But thanks for reply

Quick question: It's round ~30 and i'm trying to invade an AI Laenfa planet. I am also Laenfa. It's not possible to invade the planet. I press "invade" and next turn nothing happens. So i assume it has to do with Laenfa +40 stealth. But since i am also Laenfa, shouldn't my +50 detection make me able...
