SE:V v1.73 Changelog |

The latest from the beta:
Version 1.73:
1. Fixed - The Resupply At Nearest order was only sending a ship to the nearest location which currently
had both supply and ordnance available. It will now first pick a site with supply and ordnance
available, if that fails it will pick a site with supply available, and failing that it will
pick the nearest site that generates supply.
2. Changed - The restriction that fighters can only be launched once per turn has been removed.
3. Fixed - Units recovered from space retain their last movement amount for the turn. If they are relaunched
in the same turn, they will have their same movement amount as when they were recovered. If they are
launched into a group with full movement, then the group will now have the minimum movement of all units
present.
4. Fixed - When units are recovered from space, they also transfer with their percentage of supply and ordnance
from the group (they used to transfer with their maximum supply and ordnance amount possibly leaving
the remaining group with insufficent supply and ordnance).
5. Fixed - You were unable to remove the last 1M of a population on a planet, even if there were other populations
present.
6. Fixed - AI players did not have their starting tech levels in place when running the setup script.
7. Changed - Sys_Get_Treaty_Elements_Between_Empires now takes a 4th parameter which is a sub element list. This list
is filled to the same size as element list and contains the sub item selection for each treaty element.
8. Fixed - AI was not getting all log messages from the Sys_Empire_Log_Get_Log_Entries_For_This_Turn function.
9. Fixed - In Simultaneous games, sometimes a ship with an odd movement amount (like 13) would not get its last movement.
10. Fixed - In Simultaneous games, an emergency propulsion component would not give additional movement correctly.

Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
Hmm, well maybe it's possible that my transport ship had room for all but 1M of the population I was trying to remove, seeing as the next turn I found 2M of them on the planet (the other 1M coming from reproduction)... I never bothered to check that possibility when I reported the bug the other day 
Also, were you using the relatively new command to load all population of a particular race? I was; perhaps that command was bugged but the regular load population command wasn't...

Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
Yay! good to see the patches coming out again.
No 10 : I had problems with emergency propulsion component in turn based games. I hope this will solve it.
(Praying)Please fix the empire comparison crash in 1.71.

Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
#8 is interesting, wonder if some of my scripts will work now...

Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
Hi Guys
I played an early version of the game and I was disappointed.
After several months I decide to try last 1.71 version and....wow!..It seems to me ..better than galciv 2!
Probably there are great possibilities to improve the AI.
Gid,,Is it possible to play your mod with 1.71 patch? ...Will you upload new Gidmod versions?
Ty all.

Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
I'm sorry but I don't know if I' m missing something
I'm playing 1.71 version but I'm unable to drop my troops in cargo on an enemy planet.
Specifically My ship refuse to attack the enemy planet and bombard it.
I've no treat with this race.
Is it a bug or what
TY

Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
If you're using strategic combat (i.e. you are not controlling the combat directly like an RTS), you need to set your troop transport design's strategy to "capture planet".
If you're using tactical combat, there should be a command somewhere to drop troops - the hotkey might be "T", I forget as I have not used tactical combat in ages! 
edit: oh, and if your ships are refusing to even enter the sector where the planet is, you need to use the "attack" command, not the "drop cargo" command - "drop cargo" is used to transfer cargo between your own ships and planets only.

Yes that just cost me 1/2 of my navy in a game, when I had to mothball to save from going broke, and now I can not get them back.
I had not had the problem before as this is the first game when my economy has taken a hit from losing allies.

Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
#7 - Hey that means Espionage might become an interesting tool!






Re: SE:V v1.73 Changelog
Wow, nice fixes, specially the fighter movement problem. Should work correct now! Yea!
