SE:V v1.21 Changelog

Does this mean that if we refit a ship in deep space with a ship based shipyard that the ship wont recrew unless it goes to a planet?

By the way...

Nice to see continued process keep up the good work

"21. Added - Script function "Sys_Give_Space_Object_Order_Scrap"."

Does that mean that we may have a scraping minister that would get rid of all thoses obselete ships?

is 1.21 out yet and if not when

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

1.21 is a beta build and is will not be released. There will be several more change logs (also of Beta builds) published on the forum before one of the builds is released. As for when I would say before the end of the month possibly sooner. Kwock has it because He is one of the Beta testers I hate to think what he did in a former life to deserve that

thx. o and btw evilginger did u see i sent u a message earlier but u mightve deleted it. i really didnt think i was spamming the forums. but srry if i was

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Yesterday I noticed a similar bug in a MP battle (simultaneous turns). Fighters I had loaded onto a carrier as cargo transfers (from the planet that had built them) launched WITHOUT crews.

They launched just fine, and had full supplies and ordnance, but zero crew. Then they just sat there doing nothing.

Fortunately it was not a huge battle (only one enemy ship), and I had other ships involved as well, so I didn't lose them all.

As it stands, it appears that I may have to return the carrier to a planet, offload the fighters as cargo, launch them from the planet, and then recover them to the carrier. That will take several turns. In the meantime, though, I'm launching some of them outside of combat to see if they get crews that way. However a KOTH match is a heckuva time to have to experiment with something like that.

When I save a game manually, I deliberately give it a different file name so it won't be automatically overwritten when the next turn processes. I can't think of a situation where I'd want to change the Multiplayer Savegame Filename.

"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it /is/ a good morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he.

I just hope the annoying fleet splitting bug and turn processing is speeded up.I also hope the A.I gets coded to remember other empires planets when out of sensor range..

Also to have systems marked as avoid not to be listed on the colony list to send ships too.

Is 5that something, kwok, mm is gonna do... flag planets so you and the AI remember if it's been colonized? I remember playa few patches ago b4 I shelved the game that once out of sensor range you dont have any info on the planet. Id like to be able to text notate or have a marker list the planet as the last time it was scanned and what was there.

Thanks.

Has anyone tried a LAN game?
Have the turn progression been fixed i.e. not 10 minutes a turn

I think the AI does remember a planet has been colonised if one of it's ships has seen it. At least my AI does in my mod, it rarely send a colony ship for nothing (and when it happen, it doesn't try a second time). Maybe the problem is somewhere else...

Any word on when we'll see shield layers that work properly?

I sure hope that the atmosphere converters get the missing levels restored so they work faster than 9.5 years.

System notes? Those were handy in SE4 but I could never figure out how to do them in SE5. You mean they're possible? How do you do them in SE5?

There is a button on the middle bottom window that says system report. It's very small and in the corner of the window of the sector you are viewing. If you click it you will see a system report where you can simply type in system notes.

How about adding script for Cloaking:
"Sys_Give_Space_Object_Order_Cloak"
"Sys_Give_Space_Object_Order_Decloak"

Personally I would like to see the minimap (and larger map) marked with Empire colours of flags for controlled systems.

Yeah, like in SE3... speaking of the map, I find it highly annoying that the last system you had the mouse over is more brightly highlighted on the minimap than the currently viewed system, and has its name displayed

Any ideas when this will be released.

Expect a couple more change logs to be posted before another patch as to when a couple of weeks but guessing release dates is a bit of a forum game.

Its a shame you have to move a ship with zero crew back to a planet to re-crew. I had an idea for a hospital ship that could hold extra crew. which could be used to replace dead or injured crew. You could also if you like role playing, use it to rotate crews so they can have some shore leave.

Or like BSG's Cloud Nine recreation ship. Yeah... can that be modded so u dont have to recrew a ship at a planet?

WAIT A SECOND... There ARE Space Based (ship component) Shipyards? If so... they can build ships, right? Do those ships then need to be taken to a planet to be crewed? If they don't, then refitting a fracking ship shouldnt make you go to a planet to recrew.

That's fracking dumb as hell. I hope thats an option you can turn off... recrewing ships because they get upgraded is absolute BS... especially if you're building ships from a ship in space... What about nomad races? Screws them dont it. Fracking dumb as hell...

i always use master computers in just about every design so i never needed crews

Wait, sorry. It might be a break.

I use the same practice (for many reasons) and I would have to consider the changing of the name with a new save a break.

please explain yourself I dont get what you are trying to get accross

If the multiplayer savegame filename doesn't change, you can't probably can't load the game afterwards. This is probably one of the reasons people were having issues playing multiplayer games.
