MM Chat on #se4

Wasn't the 2d vs. 3d issue discussed Last time? I thought it was? Either way, I am fairly certain that MM plans on keeping the game on a 2D plane, and not implementing 3D movement. It can still be asked though.

Finally, one I will be able to make it to.

If somebody wouldn't mind dropping me a line that day to remind me, I am a bit o' an air head.

Question to be asked:
Why are there so many technologies that cost only 5000 points, but that require huge amounts of theoretical tech research? This allows you to just skip past the lower levels of the tech in just a few turns, making it pointless to have them. PPBs and NSPs are prime examples of this.

Any possibility of rebalancing this stuff in the Last patch?

Other questions to be asked:

Why there is so many useless components/facilities? (e.g. mineral scanners and other single resource facilities, other sensors but hyper optics, graviton hellbore)

Why the race creation is so unbalanced? (lots of useless traits such mechanoids, lucky, advanced power conservation and price of characteristics are unbalanced: Mining, farming and refining aptitudes cost equal, intelligence and cunning cost equal etc.)

Will AI issues be discussed?

Will there be another patch for SEIV and if yes, will it address the settings for how many neutrals we can have in a game that currently does not work? Will it also include an way for us to select what images are chosen as random images during game set up so we can customize our mods to use only specility ship sets without having errors BMP could not be found? And why counter intel ability does not actually work?

Will Aaron finally tell us how many copies of SEIV Gold have been sold?

Fyron, perhaps you could also ask about the happiness. You've got no reply for your email, I suppose.

Perhaps you could remind me what that question was...

I am not seeing it in my sent items box, though that just means I lost the email I sent out...
