Space Settlements

One more idea before I finally hit the sack for tonight: An ore smelter. Basically increases mineral production for a system. Not sure it'd work on a component so if anyone has tried this before please let me know.

Basically I'm looking to emulate anything space stations/bases/starbases have been pictured as being useful for. Zero-G research mostly comes to mind, as well as the other ideas I've posted.

As for SEV, thats over a year away to me and I hardly plan my gaming that far ahead

I'm just hoping a few small features are added to SEIV in the meantime even though I'm sure MM will be going full steam ahead with SEV

Anyways its time for some much needed sleep I think so I'll post some more ideas tommorow, hope to get some feedback even if its negative (more so actually).

Iron smelter could in fact be before the mineral miners.

Unfortunately, using the new point generation abilities is a huge pain for resources, as there is NO indication ANYWHERE that you are making them. They will be added to your stockpiles each turn, but they do not show up in the production for the current turn or anything.

Could be something for the next SEIV patch, if one is coming.

Unfornatley i dont think a SE4 patch is coming id like to see a Version 2 perhaps before SE5 comes out. That would fix remaining bugs if enough of us email aaron he might consider it as a low priority project.

Who knows? I think Fyron posted something about this, but I'm not exactly sure. Maybe someone has an answer for this?

Ok, I feel dumb now. Fyron just said the game never stopped being pushed forward

So am I right to guess no new updates for SEIV Gold will be forthcoming now or ever? A year is a long time to wait for something new, even if they just put out a general bug fix it'd be enough. Does anyone know if its offically been said no more patches will be made by MM?
