Rollo, Geoschmo:
Thanks for your answers. Good to know that the stock AS won't be changed.

Baron Munchausen:
Well, I will do the same.

Well then, I for one will definitely press MM to make the AI only install the MC when a line in the design file explicitly calls for it. It doesn't require any change to the format of the design files. All you have to do is make the AI smart enough to remove the default ship control components when it adds an MC, and let the AI modder put 'Master Computer' in the Misc. Abilities list if they want to for that particular design.

I think that is what was asked for originally with the bug report. Not sure why he chose to do it the way he did.

He said that he always planned to have the AI use the MC when it becomes available. The bug was present from day one and he never came around to fix it.

couple of quick observations. if they have been addressed already, then no bigge.

I really would like to see how many tech/intel points have already beed accumulated towards a project.

I would like to see a third asterik planet type, maybe a blue asterik, that would indicate breathable atmosphere for captured "other breather" races. I was also wondering, but have not tried it our yet, if making a game selection of " can only colonize breatheable" and i capture some other breathers, will I be able to colonize their homeworld types. In this situation, a blue asterik indicator would be helpfull.

I know the mothballing of massive fleets are a topic of debate, so why not have a mothball limit based on the planet cargo space? just a thought.

If you select "Can only colonize own atm or HW type", then you can only colonize your own type. You can not ever colonize other types. You can capture or trade for them though.

I assumed that with the "only colonize homeworld type" and that it would also exclude IE ice and gas if your rock. but the other selection only states "can only colonize breatheable." and they are breathable to a captured race. might have to start a game and check it out and see what is allowed with that choice. I just dislike that not too far into the game every heavenly body can be colonized. a "no-domes allowed" option would be nice. was hoping that is what that was.
