I didn't mean it was discussed here, just that the idea was discussed (and not opposed by Vladimir).

I found new problems with Polaris Sector V1.05b (which I don't had with V1.04c): 1) Ancient ships stop before an enemy system (without a message), if you order the ship to this system or bejond it form a distance of two or more systems. Because of this I loose a lot of civilian ships. Do you mean t...

I've heard about the Star Wars mod not being very stable with the latest PS update.
Doing a mod is a lot of work. The lack of documentation doesn't make it easier.
And I personally haven't even played all in-game races yet (here goes a necessity of a new DLC race too).

I think it was discussed in the past to have an effective shields values in the ship's information.

I'd rather have it (easily) modable.

Also - it might make sense for domination conditions to depend of a galaxy size.

I think Vladimir is old enough to remember a movie where a bun and a cake where requiring exactly the same amount of flour, sugar, etc., but had very different price.

They get "combat" stars (armor, fire range, fire damage).
I've already suggested adding speed bonuses for "starts".

Unfortunately it doesn't work as a solution. The game still overrides those two lines with "AutoRevealEnemyShips false" on exit. Helps if you change the config before (of after) each game though. ;) Well, there is a way to overcome this. Just exit the game by Alt+F4 after quicksaving inst...

quick workaround: instead of three AutoRevealEnemyShips place these values: AutoRevealEnemyShips true AutoRevealNeutralShips false AutoRevealAlliedShips false Unfortunately it doesn't work as a solution. The game still overrides those two lines with "AutoRevealEnemyShips false" on exit. H...

I had noticed about the defaults also, I found it a mildly annoying but far from game breaking. However I imagine its annoyance factor depends on how long you play for at a time, as I game only a couple of times a week but will play a game for 10+ hours straight so making a couple of changes doesn'...

Here goes your deep care - 31 hours passed, and no one even replied to the report that the new update is critically buggy. But back to the bug itself. After the first run game adds new parameters to the config file. Among them there are three instances of AutoRevealEnemyShips - probably a bug. Anywa...

It changes half of my config to defaults every time I run the game.

Any news, please?

Well, you always can do this. Manually :) It allows exactly what you described. Not quite. By the time colonizers are built I don't remember where exactly I wanted to send them (specially later in the game) - perhaps some notes and marks could help with that, but none are implemented now. Getting t...

You color total number of resources red than critically low - it's good. Could you also change the color (to green?) than the resource reaches (or goes over) the storage capacity?

It's been a week since the "pre-patch" on Steam. When do we see it here?

If you send me the saved game, I can check. Ok, I've emailed it (just now). Tried to put it here, but this forum does not allow attachments over 2 meg. However, in my opinion the autocolonization is broken (by design) way beyond just fixing a couple of bugs. Player needs to be able to (optionally) ...

For some (probably unhealthy) reason I've decided to try autocolonization later in the game. Made sure the right design is on top and far away colonies are busy, so all colonizators started building deep into my territory. All targets where also near the "capital". The result - one of five...

For the $40 game this sounds unreasonably "cheap". But, of course, you don't really care.
