PvK, I think it might be usefull to give some maintainance bonus to starliners. As it is, they are way too much inferior to medium size transports: cost twice in maintainace and have 3/4 of the speed. It means that the cost of shipping colonists via starliners is three times higher than via transports ! Since medium transports can be researched in just 6 turns (along with destroyers), I personally never build even single starliner.

PvK, Looks like your proportions website is down. At least I can't get to it. Is 2.4 posted anywhere else? I looked in the PBW file library and the Shrapnel mod forum and didn't see it.

The small starliner is meant to be the low-tech inefficient (slower and expensive) population transport.

I guess I didn't realize medium transports could so quickly arrive to obsolete them, though. In my games, I've always ended up with several small starliners before I get med. transports.

Good observation. I'll consider some adjustments ... hmm.

Oh, and yes, my web server went down Last night. I just fixed it this morning. I haven't posted 2.4 anywhere else, due to lack of time / abundance of laziness.

Just a heads up PvK: the PBW admins just upgraded Proportions 24hr from Version 2.4 to Version 2.4.2. One of my players is reporting problems with the upgrade.

"I tried the update Version to from 2.4 to 2.4.2 but I allways get the Data Error! After I load the Full Version of Proportions 2.4.2 and instal this it works."

My guess is the upgrade and full Version data files differ, and the difference is enough to trigger SE4's data file error? PBW must be using the full Version.

I just had the exact problem. I always use the full Versions when I setup a new Version on PBW cause I am keeping the old vrsions around too. But when I tried using the upgrade from 2.4 to 2.4.2 avaialble on your site it gave me the data error. The upgrade from any Version to 2.4.2 (1.5 MB) works though. You don't have to actually download the complete 2.4.2 Version, you just can't use the tiny 2.4 to 2.4.2 upgrade.
