Instead of new patch how about just the text file?

Instead of re-releasing again another fix why not just send the component text file, quicker and easier...

because the changes the patch makes we cant fix in text files, ie improper event frequency. 1.24?(fixed metor shower event happinging every turn) things like that that we cant fix just my modifying the txt files. also improving how the ai works in ways we shouldn't need to/can't ie ai ignores default componant.

things like that NEED to be fixed.

I wasn't talking about all the upgrades from 1.19 to 1.27 but the component problem with the Anti-Proton beams.
I realise that you have to use a patch for big game changes.
Thanks Rick

IIRC, the main reason for releasing 1.27b was to fix a problem with AI ship designs using Armor III before the AI had researched Armor III, which then hosed up the build queues. I expect that required source code changes, not text file changes (unless it was as simple as changing all the race design files and/or race research files; although THAT would involve changing 20+ text files, each in its own directory, and asking us to put those in the appropriate places...)
