SE:V v1.56 History

Thank you for the update, Captain Kwok. Some nice fixes!

What the...
I check the forum, this isn't here, I look over another topic for a few minutes, and this is here!?

It's a ninja post!

2:
Reminds me of another game I play, someone said something about being shocked such an important fix was listed in such a short and simple manner.

Does this mean the Drushocka will stop sending their stupid ships (such as colony ships) through warp points I got heavily guarded? Or perhaps their groups of ships will actually stop in a system and load up on supplies instead of simply flying strait to a location and running out of supplies before they get there?

3:
I don't know if I ever noticed such problems myself

A patch in the middle of the week... Hmmm, perhaps to allow a few days beta test for a potential release on Friday before the weekend??????

speculation runs rampant in the tabloids....

This is great, thanks again for the update, what makes it even better is the fact that the public patch is now even closer.

Like I said in the previous change log thread, the game is neary complete. Now feature additions might be the focus. Thank you, Malfador Machinations!

Wow! Will this be the biggest Space Empires V (or even including IV) update/patch ever? Version 1.44 to maybe this version 1.56? Twelve change logs in one update.

Version 1.56:
7. Added - "Upgrade Queues" button on the Designs window. This will upgrade one design to another throughout all of
the empire's construction queues.

11. Added - Additional specific types to Load Cargo Remotely and Drop Cargo Remotely orders.

(Nice!)

4. Added - Formula function "is_planet_domed".

(Intriguing...What does number 4 mean?)

10. Fixed - The Transfer Units and Transfer Cargo windows now blank the edit box when you click on it.

(Interesting.)

I really like the previous two change logs showing the improvements of allied diplomacy and colony ownership memory.

Looks very good to me. Hope the patch will come out soon!

Best regards,
Pit Fiend

No 4 is for the modders, who want the AI to do specific things... like.... scrap population or build an atmosphere generator. Nice.

I think this has been brought up before, but enabling ROF control via weapon mount modifiers would be a really really handy thing. Any chance this will ever be added?

I was rooting for #7, but thought it would be too much of a bother to implement.
#5 is a nice fix. um,, did they ever implement my tiny suggestion of highlighting the system an event took place in when you go through the log??

Yes, I'm still workig on Longship, thanks for the emails.

Groovy Baby Yeah!

Kwok: I think you said 1.56 would be the last version before patch release. Will you have a new version of the Balance Mod to go with this patch? If not, will the old Balance Mod work with the new patch? I love the Balance Mod and would like to start a new game when the patch is out.

as he said new BM will not work withe previous saves and will be ready at patch day ( or few hrs later)

I don't know if #4 applies to AI scripts, but what it *will* allow (along with the fix for the Planetary Maximum Population ability from v1.54 or 1.55) is "habitat facilities" which provide, say, 1000M extra population capacity on an undomed world and 200M extra on a domed world...

Nice. Very Nice

Groovy Baby Yeah!

#2..... The AI was not working correctly?? This is absolutely shocking information!! And here I was thinking all along that the AI was running just fine. Boy, was I wrong... thanks for the clarification........

Excellent! Now no one will question the power of my fleet...er...

You only thought that because your a neewbie

Groovy Baby Yeah!

#7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7 #7

Yipee! Wahoo! Yay!

Check your dictionary...... you spelled 'newbie' wrong.
You do know how to use one don't you?

as it was a simple case of a double letter I'd say it was a typo, although the newbie comment was uncalled for, especially considering the AI error in question (as kwok pointed out) was only in a beta anyway.
