Guys please chill out.
The game WAS ready when shipped. Was everything perfect? No. To make a game of this sort perfect would have taken quite awhile. In it's current state I will take it up against ANY other Space based 4X game made in the Last 5 years. In fact it is a compliment that you guys are so pissed because we ahve "raised" the bar so to speak for this sort of game.
The patch should be out on the 19th followed by a break for the testers and MM for the holidays.
Here are the latest fixes as of tonight:
Version 1.17:
1. Fixed - The Amonkrie had their Demeanor and Culture values swapped.
2. Fixed - Combat Replay was only displaying the Last turn of combat.
3. Fixed - Combat Replay is starting with the first move of the first ship
already completed.
4. Fixed - The Xiati Main bitmap was an incorrect size.
5. Fixed - Troops on a planet you own will now increase the happiness of
the populations on that planet.
6. Fixed - Tactical Combat: If you fired weapons from your ship, your
point defense cannons would not always fire at incoming seekers
on that turn.
7. Added - Empire Option for Next/Previous Ship button to skip fleets.
8. Fixed - The Trade disrupted intelligence event should not occur if there
is no real trade between two empires.
9. Fixed - Some game option flags would keep the value from the Last game if
it was from a previous Version of SE4 (most notably "Allow
Intelligence projects").
10. Fixed - Tarrifs that an empire received would be added in even in excess
of the max storage for that empire.
11. Fixed - Right-clicking on the flag for a satellite group would not work.
12. Fixed - Tarrifs were exceeding the points available when payed.
13. Fixed - Using an existing empire would sometimes cause the reproduction
and maintenance cost to be increased from what the empire had
in the Last game.
14. Changed - There is now a limit per game turn in the number of fighters\
satellites\mines that can be launched. There is no limit to
the number of units that can be recovered. The Unit Transfer
window has been modified to display the numbers that can be
launched in a turn per ship.
NOTE: All 3 levels of mine layers, fighter bays, and satellites
bays have been changed to that they can only launch 1
unit per game turn or combat turn. (This was to make it
a little more interesting)
15. Fixed - Sorting by date in the Load\Save dialog should put the most
recent file on top.
16. Fixed - Designs for dead empires were showing up in the combat simulator
list.
17. Fixed - A range check error would occur when a planet was rammed.
18. Fixed - During game creation, sometimes a player's planets would end
up in a nebulae, black hole, or asteroid system. A new flag
had been added to the SystemTypes.txt file which indicates
whether a system type allows an empire to start in it.
Version 1.16:
1. Fixed - Range Check error when using the Maximum Range strategy in
combat.
2. Fixed - Added a check for the Movement Replay to make sure that the
replay file matched up with the current game turn.
