Have you ever had the annoyance of playing in a PBW game with someone who was using a shipset you didn't have? The ships change every turn since the game picks randomly from the shipsets you do have. My idea is instead of this, the game just uses the generic shipset (the one the neutrals use). I'd imagine this would be simple enough for MM to implement.

That's why PBW shows the ship sets people use. And, if the player didn't do it right, ask them to tell you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But, your idea is a good one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Spoo the problem your describing also is caused from people creating EMP files from games installs that have been "modified."

I have this problem occuring on two of the games I am playing. It is a reall annoying thing, but what can ya do. These things happen.

Once I had an AI empire in a single player game that changed every time I loaded the game since I had remove their original shipset.
What was really amazing is that their erratic AI was 1st in score.

Andrés, that is too funny. If one AI can't do the job, use 'em all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
