You say you don't have a working AI yet? I'll work on it, see what I can do. AI's aren't exactly my specialty, but I may get something rudimentary going. I'll let you know.

I like the idea of facilities generating shield points, I think I will add that to my mod.

Sorry, I worked on getting an AI to work for about the past 3 hours, and nothing. I hope someone else can get one working.

Oh, and Capship is always equipped with the latest version of the "Cultures and Demeanors" add-on mod.

Hmmm hundreds of turns for one ship eh? maybe I'll take a look at it.

But only for the biggest... the small (i.e. somewhat normal) warships take less to build. A light cruiser is the size of a Baseship (1500kT) and can be a (small) backbone for your spacefleet. Anything from Light to Heavy Cruiser (Battlecruiser if you're economically superior) can be the backbone of your fleet. The largest ships (anthing above Battlecruiser is a Capship, and a Battlecruiser is 6000kT) take looong to build and lots to maintain. The absolutely excessive costs of COMCAs makes them an economic nightmare... but in a military environment it is worth a solid Sphereworld (Dyson sphere) in compressed diamond. The basic COMCA (where "basic" is nothing but a Master Computer) takes over 100 turns to build, if you fill it with weapons it will be about two to hree hundred. DO TAKE NOTE HOWEVER that the maintenance cost has been INCREASED TO 50%!!!!!

I know... I've seen... but... but... it's... it's... just so MANY of them! Endless lists of engines! Enough engine types to fill a Dyson Sphere!

(The rest STILL looks very good tho.)

Not COMP descr, ABILITY descr. I've made long comp descrs before, and they all worked. It were the Ability descrs that caused me trouble.

Thnx for all the input, guys.

What I said is absolutely true... go test it. Having descriptions in either place that are too long causes the same problem...

Here's Capship 0.801. It isn't 0.81 since this version is just 0.80 with the revamped GC and a few minor bug fixes.

Test it and tell me what you think about the GC.
