Inti,s SEV Game

I haven't managed to test the mod in a game as the whole thing froze if I tried to generate my own game, but based on the standard set up, and yes I know it might be quite different, I stuck on what appeared to be the maximum number of engines and a reactor. So what are you saying, is this ship going to flounder?

Indeed the first turn went splat, but processed manually already......

And to all the players , NONE of us was able to test the mod good...... because the AI isn't working yet, it will be the first time for all of us

Well im using 2:1 engine/core ratios for now. Maybe later, if engines need less supply and/or core store/generate more i will change that.

2:1 ratios?

Well crap, good thing that initial colony ship I designed was intended for a planet about 10 sectors away!

The latest turn failed. My argument is someone had to show PBW can't handle custom stuff

if that is indeed the problem.

Noticed a couple balance issues. It seems that Light Carriers make all other ship types redundant. Only 10% of space needs to be fighter bays, so that's 720 kT of usable space vs. 300 on a frigate and 500 on a colony ship or freighter.

Also, this seems like it will be much slower-going mod than stock. High cost to research stuff + low amount of research per turn + high cost of building colony ships = lots of turns. This might be intentional, but the gain in realism isn't worth the slow pace, IMO.

I have some experience with eclicpse in Se4 so I remembered the slower tech progression, but still it is a bit of a surprise that you have 130K research in first turn and then only 3K on second. I know you get extra on the first turn for vanilla but that is only times 4.
