[quote who="Blaze of Glory" reply="2" id="3501258"] Also, I would like to be able to cancel when I choose a module. There are times when I accidentally click the wrong upgrade and I am stuck with it [/quote] I believe Paul said in one of the - recent - dev feeds that he would look into a "undo" button for this, because he himself has made the same mistake in the past. So it might already be on their list.
The ships controlled by the AI can cross and even end their turn in the same tile as in which a player controlled ship is located. It does not matter whether there is peace or war between the two involved races. What i did: i parked a scout on ship graveyard, because the Krynn had a survey ship near, and my survey ship was still far away. However the Krynn survey ship simply entered the same tile and obtained a lost survey ship. The screenshots: Bottom-left the ship in

Derek did say it was planned for today, barring QA issues. Clearly they are in a bar having issues with the Questions of the meaning of Life, and trying to think of an Answer. Everybody already knows the answer is 42, so come on in and release the Beta. Or does QA means something other than Questions & Answers? Because it is clearly not Quantum computer Algorithms, nor can it be that there are any problems with Quality Assurance since the people at Stardock don't make

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="2" id="3500107"] It should be proportional to the population, the death rate that is. Like 10% of population or whatnot. I guess if they factor in growth, population, and the limit i think a better equation could be made? [/quote] It should be far beyond 10% if the population massively exceeds the population limit - see the formula i proposed in the initial posting in the other thread. For example if you stuff 200 billion people on a

[/quote] @eviator, you can not buy an improvement if you don't have the gold, but by having an overpopulation you can have sufficient production power on the planet to build improvements 'naturally'. Imagine the production of 200 billion people on an 8 billion population world. Th
At this moment the game allows you to forcefully overpopulate a planet and thereby generate more production, research and/or wealth on that planet than otherwise possible. Since the overpopulation-death-rate for a planet is a fixed 0.1 pop per turn the workforce does not diminish rapidly. These two facts give rise to the following 'cheat' /strategy: 1) have a large planet generate lots of population: Birthing subsidies; 2) conquer/colonize a planet, and overpopulate

[quote who="eviator" reply="2" id="3498432"] I managed it by turn 79, Beta 0.42, with the Altarians on a tiny map against the Terrans as beginner. Hey, you didn't specify map size or difficulty parameters, so I'm not sure if it's valid. Even if not, I got some good practice experience. [/quote] Of course it is valid. The more variations of played race, map sizes, opponents, and difficulty levels the better we get a 'feel' for balancing and pacing. <p

When using the "Queue Eject" option to eject a transporter/colonizer a popup asks for the amount of population to load into the ship, but in the next turn 2.5 (or less if the planet has insufficient population) is loaded into the ship.

You can upgrade a transporter/colonizer to a ship with a lower population capacity (less modules) without diminishing the boarded population. It should either disallow this when the number of boarded population exceeds the maximum capacity of the ship you wish to upgrade to; or the boarded population should be diminished to the max population of the new ship. Currently the following 'cheat' is possible: Build a transporter with nothing but transport modules;
