patch log
The AI improvements are a nice sign of things to come, also.

Watch for my mod - codename: Dimensions - coming by Summer, 2007!
Acually combat sensors are working. Component - Weapon To Hit chance is used in mounts.
excellent
very nice, the patches start to fix the alliance/diplomatic stuff
Atmosphere Converters
I'm still not seeing the atmosphere converters getting fixed so they reach their proper level. I'm getting tired of waiting 95 turns for AC's to do their magic. I sure hope they get fixed for the next released patch.
Omnius
Oops...
Oh... I was tired and confused there 
Still, knowing I can make specialized weapon mounts that do what I expect is good to know

Mm? Atmosphere converters?
Still promoting Fleet Transfer improvements
I'll drop by to continue promoting two additions to the Fleet Transfer screen.
One column to show the damage percentage for each ship
and one column to show the experience points of each ship.
right click
If you right click on a ship in the fleet transfer screen it gives you an individual report on the ship on which it is easy to spot the ships status.
I use it to spot ships with dead crews as these can be very hard to repair and slow the fleets containing them down
do master computer run ships
do master computer run ships get xp from those training facilities

Master Computers Learn
Jagzeplin,
Master computers learn very well at ship training facilities as well as combat. They are my preferred crew. They render Psi weapons techs useless.
Omnius
Not My Job
Psieye,
Fixing atmosphere converters isn't my job. I bought the game to play and have fun, not work for hours trying to fix things that I shouldn't have to fix. If I have to fix it then it's time to go back to Supreme Ruler 2010!
Omnius
terraforming
I thought it was supposed to take along time. You don't convert a planet's atmosphere in a year...
mine too

Omnius
mine too. but mostly because i dont like having to research psychology and whatever tech increases life support just to save space on the bigger ships

Suggestions (alliance)
I see you have fixed most of the issues with the alliance. Awsome, but i have some more suggestions about that:
- regardless of being in the alliance, could empire be listed in the empire menu, so for example i can give some units or planets to members??
- can there be a limit for empires in the alliance? I have created one and computer added every single empire existing in the universe (whats the point of the game then? )
- computer is not creating any alliances?
- can there be an option in the alliance so members cannot perform intelligence on eachother? members of alliance where doing that and both sides where asking me for help (cooperative inteligence).
And some not about the alliances:
- could you change the algorithm for survey system option? It uses way more supplies (move points) than it should
- computer is not conolizing as much as it could (at least on medium level)
I think that is it. Thanks.
Retrofitting and (re)Crewing
Playing 1.20 new.
Must remove all ships from a fleet to refit them. Why? Is it just me or is this how things are done now? I thought the whole point was to NOT be forced to remove your ships from a fleet so you could avoid having all ships of the same hull type being upgraded to the selected hull type, e.g. all Attack Frigate become Mine Layers.
What happened to my crew anyway? Did they all take the first public transport home? I call that desertion! Hasn't anyone heard of shore leave? When the refit is complete I recall my crew from shore leave. I now have a ship that is staffed per the design requirements. If the crew capacity was increased and I'm at a conquered planet that has no loyal same breathing population then the ship will not have a complete compliment. It will however be able to move at full speed...

intelligence
I agree with most of these changes but the thing about intel against allies makes it more realistic. think about it. throughout history nations that were officially allied (Germany and Russia spring to mind) would plot behind each others backs in order to gain info on each other and maybe betray their ally at a convenient time.

-my "Ministers are more sinister than Ministers... But who cares?"
Absolute ridiculousness. Crew shouldn't be spaced out an airlock
LOL! Yeah, refitting ships and losing the crew is screwy.
Now someone please answer my question... What happens in deep space when a ship's space based shipyard refits a ship? The crew get spaced out an airlock never to return???
Some other issues arise here. Crew experience. Will this be wiped out when a ship is upgraded?
If crew are spaced out the airlock and the ship is in fact dead in space without a crew as explained in my example above, which btw is absolute crap if this is the way it's intended to work, then can a component be made for a ship like the Battle Star Galactica's Cloud Nine Recreation ship? That way the crew'd have a place to hang out while their ship is being refitted and then come back aboard and get it on.
Movement Paths
I believe there was a post in the forums some time ago about how the game analyzes and sets ship movement paths and the amount of calculations that go into how the path is decided. According to the thread postings, the amount of data that is processed to determine how ships were going to get where they were orderer to go exponentially increased as the distance that needed to be traveled increased, and this was likely to be the main reason ships move so slowly at times in the main system view. Is this currently an active bug? I poked around the bugs that have been submitted, but I wasn't able to track anything down.
Next hopefully they will fix
Next hopefully they will fix the fact that AIs will non stop ask to add members when you make an alliance rules that new members can't be added. That is so annoying.
Unless they fixed this, didn't read the previous patch notes. I haven't used alliances for a longtime because of that shit.
Would also be nice to get alliance votes as a news item....
Is this in....
addtion to the 1.21 patch. When will they be released?
probably wont be
Probably wont be released either likely to come out a couple more builds further on I would think toward the end of the month.
alliegnece subverter
Jagzeplin,
Master computers learn very well at ship training facilities as well as combat. They are my preferred crew. They render Psi weapons techs useless.
Omnius
Now that SEIV's alliegnece subverter doesn't allow you to keep your enimies ship, I'd say psi weapons are useless.
SEV, more than a feeling.
Good fixes
It's nice to see these ability fixes coming up. I didn't even know some of these were broken, but I suspected them... It's nice to know my combat sensors will do something now
The AI improvements are a nice sign of things to come, also.
