i build a "mobile space yard" and constructed the wormhole generator direct in space.
It was outside the range of any planet, it got a 20 000 resuply generator and nevertheless it was unable to open a wormhole.
I got the "Create wormhole" dialogue, the action was added into the queue but the wormhole never was established ;-(

You have to have an unexpended MP for the ability to be used. I had the exact same problem on about page 150!

Movement Point. Stellar manipulation requires that you have a movement point to expend during the procedure. Thus, it does not work, at all, on bases. They can not have any (non-combat) movement.

there is not enough space to put a engine first then the Agile sail, so now what to do?

Mod the hull to have a built in movement point, like the stellar manipulation barge in devnull. Moves 1 sector per turn. That should be good enough

but that means that the "Jumpgate" ship design i found in this mod is.....worthless at the moment?
I mean, i can only use it if i edit the file to add a movement point, but not before?

*mhm*
Sorry for my english.....hihi but i lack the experience and vocables....

Actually it was just a suggestion for the modmakers, but try it if you want

Hey guys, I tried to read this entire thread from the start and fell short around page 200.

Anyway. So far, great job on this. I recently got into modding myself, and am a huge fan of Babylon 5, so if you need any help let me know. Probably the biggest thing that's been problematic during play is the lack of ability descriptions, especially on facilities. So I don't mind going through the file and putting those descriptions in if you can't think of anything else that needs doing?

Let me know.
