Two small bugs and a huge one

[Rollo]

Okay, I checked on the system facilities. They DO work. Puh, I am glad. My bad, sorry for the false alert. It is a little confusing that the actual production doesn't show. I assume this is already known to Malfador.

Can anybody reproduce that the AI settings for maximum ship size don't work in sim move?

2) The "Max ship size tonnage from start" in the settings.txt file doesn't work (or I don't understand it correctly). I set it to max size 410 for the first 15 turns, but the AI nevertheless builds cruisers from the start in a full tech game.

If that setting turuly wasn't working, I would expect the AIs to build all BaseShips form the start, not Cruisers.

It seems to me that the obvious answer is that the tonnage is rounded up to the next larger hull size.

(IE: 410 -> 500 = cruiser)

Starting out with hulls of cruiser size allows the AI to build SYSes.

Yes, at first I thought so too, but that is not the answer. I have tried different numbers like 400 and 310, but the AI still built CR at the start.

If the game is turn based the 410 setting works and the AI builds LC for the first few turns. It just doesn't work on sim move.
