Another option would be to allow small and tiny hulls to be built planetside but require the shipyard to build medium and up.the shipyard could still build the smaller sizes as well this would allow the player to atleast build some defensive units in order to put up a resistance
I hate to ask the obvious but someone is going to have you tried using up the offending ships movement or passing its turn?
1) the colony ship always seems to launch with 2.5 people no matter what you set the slider to 2) is there a way to change the source for population? right now it always takes from my homeworld (the world that made the starport) and my population there is getting kind of low
the colony module is available from the tech planetary improvement its the first tech in the colonization category

you need to go into the starport it is currently sponsoring and remove the planet in question then you can go into the second starport and add it in
i will be adding to this as i come up with more only 1 atm 1) scroll wheel for planetary construction que needs to be about 8x more sensitive - atm i need to scroll my wheel about 8 ticks (from all the way at the top to all the way at the bottom) to move the que about 1/2 a line.(literally) this means that to move the que far enough to see the 6th item in que i need to roll my finger across the whole mouse wheel 2x it should mov
just a thought that came to me that would be usefull a colored ring around the shipyard when you select it while "unanchored" (or possibly a show radius button ) that shows the effectiveness of the resources it recieves green >= 75% of resources recieved from planets in green ring yellow 74-50% of resources received from planets in yellow ring orange 49-25% of resources received from planets in orange ring red <25% of resources received from
currently playing a game where i found 2 ships ahf lost cutter 1 & ahf lost defender 1 when setting them to the same destination from a distance apart (about 3 turns away) the game crashes to desktop however moving them closer (so they fleet within 1 turn) has no issue i have a save file debug file and crash dump file if its necessary edit .... i was able to reproduce this CTD 3 times before posting after posting it works
[quote who="joeball123" reply="18" id="3475077"] The greatest difficulty in writing scientifically-accurate stories, at least as far as the current understanding of science is concerned, isn't so much that our understanding of science is incomplete as that many of the people writing science fiction are not well-acquainted with science, as many of them have not pursued professions in a technical field. Then there are the kinds of things which go on in works like Star Trek, where

The problem i have with single use paired gates is that if i want to move across a vast distance its ok i need to go to this gate get out now go with this one get out now go in this one it just now i have five gates at this point which one brought me to my destination and which one sent me away from it? It would also add a lot more gates then is truely neccessery i think the biggest difference between the ideas is the network idea promotes faster t

That is unless it becomes Trade based as espoused in the other thread [and this one?].

They count against your starbase limit (both overall, and per-sector) Gates aren't usable until you "pair" it. Pairing is a ONE TIME choice - can't be changed. maximum Distance between pairs may
im kind of mixed it makes sense to be able to see the stars and it also makes sense that at some point you should be able to identify planets and thier characteristics (technologically we are getting into that right now) but at the same time i wanna say F&(% logic make it a surprise i dont want to see any stars or anything untill i can get there
[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="48" id="3473225"]The Super Isolationist ability doesn't reduce the speed of enemy ships by -2, but sets it to a maximum of 3 pc/wk. Also, the Slow Enemies starbase modules don't work for Super Isolationists. At least, not anymore. They used to, but this is no longer the case in the latest version of TotA.[/quote] i could have sworn it was a -2 oh well even being reduced to 3 is still quite handy along with a large sphere of influence

[quote who="perigrine23" reply="23" id="3473129"]Have you actually tried climbing up multiple trees? Because I did and it became impractical fast. The game mechanic is balanced as it is. There is no real advantage in pursuing multiple trees. It becomes cost-prohibitive fast and you won't be able to reach the higher tiers without spending all your production building and destroying improvements that grant ideology on completion.[/quote] actually yes i have 18 planets ATM most
