It still doesn't explain how you managed to get

on a protoplasmic hull, or does it?

[EDIT] - or did you mean antimatter instead of basic?

2) I started terraforming 2 planets, human colonies, when the Terraforming item in production changed to "Never". One was at 100% complete and the other at 12.5% complete. Can happen if you enqueued multiple terraforming (TF) items for the same planet. They then are performed concurrently...

- Black Hole Power Gen.: +0.2*pop (down from +1.0) - Solar Orbital Generator (red/yellow/blue): +0.1/0.2/0.3*pop (down from +0.1/0.2/0.4) It would make sense to have at least BHPG top SOG (+0.4*pop?) - you get the tech way later, most of the time you first have to collapse a red star to be able to ...

By "slow-tech", I mean either you're lagging behind in (weapon/ship) research, or have average or better research in these fields but a crappy production output, thus no way to produce newer ship designs in significant numbers to cope with enemy threats. Can depend on your starting species...

Let me guess... you were playing a slow-tech species, right?

Best choice for me is... as troopships. Because of the build cost, and the mere fact they're impervious to mine hits.

Would it be too difficult to have the warning icon's color be a continuous function rather than using thresholds? Like, starting as a bright yellow when >0%, getting progressively redder as the contibution rate increases?

That sounds like chaff or anti-aircraft missiles, and has a very similar role to PD weapons (flaks). I missed or misread the part where you wrote missiles could be taken down by point defences, and I sort of assumed missiles were instant-hit weapons. In that case, without fighters there would have ...

If we want to introduce missiles in the game, I suggest changing fighters to purely defensive decoys: They absorb one hit and are gone for the current battle. They refill between battles regardless of supply lines. Tech upgrades would increase the number of decoys you get per ship part, and maybe gr...

one more strange thing look at the bomber icone on one of the ships, the "farmer". the two have exactly the same design with robot hull and EMP in all external slots That too can happen in 0.4.7. Please be explicit about what you think the bug is there, or what exactly looks odd to you. I...

bombardment It was, every bit of it. So nothing specific to 0.4.8 here. ok for the 1) but what about the 2) ?? with the "cancel bombardment" button staying several turns after the combat end (no more target nor bomber ship) the button stayed even after restarting the game. t was only afte...

i tried the soft way via bombardement+EMP
i seldom use bombardment so don't know if it was this way in 0.47

What values did you use in your implementation? +1 for good and +2 for great, double of that as suggested by Ophiuchus, multiplicative as per Geoff, other? Your first suggestion (the one I quoted in my previous post), using this snippet of code from the Misiorla species file - EffectsGroup descript...
