Well, with some of these good changes and the previous ones, is it time yet for a patch to be released??

I'd like to see one more patch with either AI improvement or more UI improvements.... or both.. Hell, I'll wait for 2 more patches...

Keep up the good work Aaron!!!

so 1.41 will be final patch - and it should be next week then ;p

3.) and 4.) caused severe problems in my game and therefore I impatiently wait for this new patch.

Damador why do you think 1.41 will be the final patch? I hope very much that is not true!!

i think damador means that it'll be the final before it's released again an we get to use it, unless this one already is

or he's trolling...

I would like to see public beta patches

I can see the game continuing to be patched until SEVI is in the pipe line the same way SEIV was and its never wise to predict which build no will end up as a public release.

I suspect 1.35 came out so soon after 1.33 in build because it fixed the last realy major bug the THRICE DAMNED MEMORY LEAK. I can understand wanting to get that fix out PDQ.

as for AI changes we have had a lot of tools to improve them as a modder and I think we can look foward to more in the near future.

1.35 did not fix THE memory leak - it fixed one major memory leak, though. But there are still others left - you can clearly see that when playing a large game, memory continually increases when the blue turn processing bar is up.

Sometimes sarcasm just doesn’t work in forums.

I´m still unable to attack ringed planets with max range orders. Bug has been fixed for "normal" planets, but I´ve been attacking a ringed planet for 2 turns and my ships just turn around at max range.

I suppose I´ll have to set then at close range and suffer lots of casualties...

I second the motion for public beta patches. Aaron hasn't broken my Windows install yet.

Im happy with this patch for sure. The enemy planets issue and alien empires shown on map stuff resolved.. thankfully

Yup, The empire color coding implementation in the quadrant map along with the enemy planet system-memory were the 2 most important features that were missing from the game IMHO. If I was Aaron I would release 1.40 as soon as it was stable.

I hear Grendel, My missile frigates are useless against ringed planets at max range. Thus leading my 'Close Combat' Ships for lack of a better term into a nasty tussle with some weapons platforms, and satellites insde the planets doesn't help either.

In my last PBW turn I tryed attacking with short range orders, but it didn´t work... I´ll try point blank range.

I generally have two types of ships in my attack squadrons, heavily armoured (in relation to current tech level) ships with Cannons, and lightly armoured ships with Missiles. The former are set to Optimal range and my Missile ships to max range. The Cannon ships tend to attack planets fine I'm pretty sure, just my Missile ships having the problem. Can't say that I've tried anything else, I've never had to clear a super defensive colony so a mob of my Cannon ships have been called up to go on suicide missions. I would rather not have any losses though.

Innuendo.

I had a recent case were my plasma missile frigates got close enough to fire their weapons to a ringed planet by using "capture planet" orders. The transport failed his mission (destroyed), but my escort frigates destroyed planet defences and buildings.

I´ll try again this way.
