Is there (or why ISNT there) a way to simply tell a ship/fleet to stay right where it is and dont ask me for orders again! In most games this is called sleep. I have 3 fleets sitting on a planet in enemy territory getting resupplied/repaired and cant put them into sentry mode....at the same time I have a ton of ships being manufactured and need to tell them where to go to fight...but EVERY turn I have to cycle through all those fleets to get to the new ships??? Talk about tedious and ridiculous.

Listen I like this game alot but for goodness sakes before you start making huge sweeping add-ons...why not fine tune what you have first.

Quick question. I'm wondering how I can setup the damagetypes so that each weapon hit goes through the shields 10%. Some kind of leaky shields. I've taken a look at how IRM had it setup. It didn't produce the effect I wanted. Say I have a weapon that does 100 damage. Each hit should do 10 damage to armor and 5 to internal. Anybody know how to do this?

I just added a Damage Control Component to my mod. What it does is it repairs a very small amount of ship tonnage per turn. Its setup so that it requires crew to function, and is only 1 component per ship effective. Problem is, it repairs over 300kt of tonnage each turn. I only made it 20kt at tech level 20 (Max Level). I don't understand why its repairing so much tonnage.

Name := Damage Control
Description := Damage control crew members slowly repair a ship's systems.
Picture Number := 111

Hi guys. Does anyone know if there is going to be any more patches or if 1.66 is the last of it?

Thanks.

This may have been touched on but how do I do that? I would like to go to 1440x900.

Hi guys, I apologize for asking so many questions but I have another question. In my mod all space vehicles(except units) require an energy reactor. (Nuclear,fusion,fission,quantum etc,.) I had an idea that more advanced components require a better reactor. Anti - Matter engines require at least a fusion reactor. The function get_specific_component_design works fine for this. The problem is how do I also code it to accept higher up reactors? Putting "or" between the functions didn't work.

An example of what I want to do, in vehicle sizes the Bridge requirement has an "or" between the two functions for Bridge and Master Computer.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but in 1.66 with the newest BM, you can create supplies with a carrier and fighters. I searched the bugs and forum to see if anyone else had noticed this, but I haven't found any old threads.
Basically I found that with a large carrier with about 100 fighters it would instantly go empty on supplies after if launched its fighters in battle, so afterwards I launched 50 fighters and they had supplies! I then transfer them to the carrier, retreive the fighters and do it again till the carrier is max supplies. It seems to me if a carrier is almost empty of supplies and launches fighters, they should have no supplies, not 15000 or something.
