Re: Does \"repeat research\" really work?

doh.

That's weak. Bug or feature?

Thanks for letting me know before I wasted a turn trying it. In actuality, I'm running about 300k per turn in my current PBW game. That would've been a HUGE...

Does \"repeat research\" really work?

If I have, say 100k of research a turn, and I've just discovered a new weapon type, say High-energy discharge weapons, can I get it to research more than one level a turn?

How do I calculate ship supply usage?

When looking at individual components, they usually have a "supply usage" value, like engines are 10, cloaking device is 100.

But how does this translate to actual usage? Certainly it's not 10 * 6...

My example is the Colonizable Planets window. I'm always trying to figure out the best...

Re: Newbie questions at turn ~50 of a PBW game

Also: can I retrofit a 6000 to a 9000?

Re: Newbie questions at turn ~50 of a PBW game

Hmm... Let's figure this out.

Approx. cost of a current attack vessel: 6400
(buildable in 2 turns at a big shipyard)

Re: Ideas for UI improvement

My pet pieve: the scroll bars.
