Wish list for patch/SEV

[Me Loonn]

Stargates, anyone ?

I mean :
(1) - Like those in Stars!, built in space station for ships without cargo, mayby BIG size (1500kt or so) to prevent too cheap ones ?

(2) - Like in the tv-serie/movie; troop/WP moving between 2 planets both with Stargate facility (quite expensive, say like massive planetary shield, mayby ?)

Humm, you got a point here. I think I'll mod this in my Proportions Version. I'll make it regular shipyards level 4,5 and 6.
Yeah, I always thought that those racial traits were unbalanced.......
Talk about organic armor....

There is a very good reason why they are not in the same family. Since they are in different families, there is a higher initial cost (time) to build them. The bonuses more than make up for the extra time to build them.

In SEV, I would like to see continued improvements in how ships/fighters are handling in strategic combat. In particular, the game handles fighters extremely poorly. Instead of utilizing a concerted attack of all available fighters against the enemy, instead the game sends them a few at a time to be slaughtered.

Try increasing the size of fighter Groups launched in combat in the Strategies window. Sometimes, it is better to have small Groups. Other times, it is better to have larger Groups.

The group size helps a small amount. But the basic mechanism is still pretty much flawed. The game wants to immediately send the most recently launched group of fighters to impale themselves on the spear of the enemy instead of waiting for backup.
