Is it possible that the tech level of the ship (engine wise) is higher than the tech level of the race receiving it?

I have mentioned a couple of times that it would be nice if in the SHIPYARD you could select the part on the ship and it would jump to it in the select list at the left. For those items that are 1 used only, have it show up as greyed in the list, but highlighted. This would also help if someone wanted to place more of that item, wouldn't have to scroll for it. Tech select screen a ZOOM for the tech tree window. There are times when it is a royal pain trying to decide which item to

Just slightly off but when you mentioned about taxes doubling, It always amazes me how folks always vote for Democrats and their taxes go up. (even when the liars say they won't raise taxes) (new NJ Governor for example)

I will second the tech tree zoom. (already suggested it) It would be quite benificial to see just where things are. Don't even really need to be able to read it at full back, just to be able to see what lines are built to what levels would be a great help.

I just wish they would make things like removing items from the build queue work with KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS. Geez things only working by mouse click suck after a while. Something like the build queue could be a lot faster and easier to use by using the arrow buttons and delete key. In addition there have been some times when an UNDO function on things like this would help a lot.

I ran into a bug last night where one my allies found some relic device that changed all uninhabited worlds within a sector radius to value 15. Boy was I in the right place and time. Had a ton of freighters and transports with a nice sized savings account. Changd most of my area builds to colonizers and converted the freighters and transports to colonizers. Managed to colonize about 16 planets within 5 turns. Of course now nothing will build on them. No matter what I do I get a NEVER on th

No, but I just played a game where I had the Drengin as an ally (they were very weak). I saw some fleets of ships from the Torian race heading across the map (my area) in an obvious move to attack the Drengin. The Torians took one of the planets and a pop-up alert told me that the THALEN race had just attacked my ally the Drengin. WTF!? Has to be a bug as the Thalen were no where even close. I took both races out, just sped up the process I was already working on. This was on a 25 sector ma

Not sure if this would be a simple tweak or not, but to be able to zoom out on the tech treee would be very helpful. The extra small viewable area is a bit of a pain at times when deciding what to research next. To zoom out like in the game screen or the shipyard screen would be very helpful.

Found the "Middle mouse button" control for the shipyard. It still needs to be Alt + Left click to rotate the ship as not everyone has a 3 button mouse, and the lack of exensive keyboard shortcuts to prevent mouse fatigue is a pain. Also the Economy screen (economy tab) REALLY, REALLY, REALLY needs to show the actual current cash base. I fought with this forever trying to figure out why nothing was building. THIS SCREEN needs to show the current account balance in addition to what

Yeah I have all the English translated american books and just in the last couple of months started re-reading them. I also aquired the last couple that I was missing including the subscribe only ones at the end. Of my set I have a handfull of special ones that Forry and Wendayne autographed. Have you been reading the German books? How have you been keeping up with the newer ships?

For me I tried to do a freighter upgrade and of course the game wouldn't upgrade the damn "too slow " freighters. They should be upgradeable just like anything else as long as it is the same hull size and type.

Yeah it is always waaaaaaay too loud. And of course the music tends to get on your nerves after a while too.

I have a couple of new items for the shipyard. Once the parts are placed, specifically items like the engines, weapons, sensors and the like, If you are trying to do an upgrade it would be nice for a description of selected item on the ship to appear. This can be done by the selector on the left "jumping" to the item currently selected. As there is a description there that would solve the problem. Also working with the ship building screen more last night, the little rotate buttons

Yeah I ran into that with the Yor hulls and specifically some of the parts. If the hardpoint is not centered then part will not flip. The delta wing with tube at the base is the worst. I am personally looking into what plugins are needed to work with the parts in Max (since I have 6) Now just to work out if I have a workable plugin or not.

Biggest problem I have had lately was with FEAR. Not only did it have copy protect but if you had even "HAD" an emulator (Gmedrive or Alcohol) on you system it would not run. I had to jump through several hoops just to get it to run. It looked in the registry for emulator tags, if you had a particular CD type driver for the emulated drive, FEAR wouldn't run. THEN to top it off I finally got it to run and the AUDIO was half crapped out. It turned out you had to have a special codec to get th

I actually bought versions 5 and 6 "Student" copies of Max a couple of years ago for about $800 each. They are fully functional and useable, just don't have a Full license for use comercially. In other words I can do anything I want and give it away, but can't make any money off of it. There is another low cost 3D program tha t has been around for a while. I know it has been ported for making models for a few games. It is called MilkShape and used to cost only $20. Quite cheap f

While they did some good improvements to the shipyard, it is still a pain in the south end to rotate the ship around. This could be done in 2 different ways. First way would be to use the up, down, left, and right arrows to rotate the model. Having to manually use the mouse to rotate the model with the too small little rotate area buttons is a pain. Having to do that while placing and looking at a new part is real poor way to do this. Also the model needs to stop when the button

Lack of keyboard shortcuts is becoming a real pain. Some items like the ship construction screen would benefit greatly with the use of keyboard shorts. Example: Rotating the ship up, down, left, right would be much faster and easier by using the arrow keys. This could be done while manipulating the part with the mouse in order to place a new part. Also rotating the part (the three dials in the lower right) could be done much faster with keystrok
