Hi guys, I'm having a problem getting the Mod function "is_planet_domed" to work. Here is the code:

Tonnage Space Taken Formula := 1000 * IIF(Is_Planet_Domed(), 5, 2)

Did I mess up or is this function not working. And the IIF worked and went to the false part of the statement. Oh I'm used BM 1.14B with the latest patch. Thanks for the help

Is there a way to have the host computer automatically process the turn after all the human players orders files have been received?
So that you can host the game from a dedicated server that nobody monitors or plays from?

Can anyone please explain the details about how the retreat function works?
In simulator, the ships just run around the edge of map trying to dodge enemy vessels. Can they actually retreat off the tactical map and into another hex during combat?
Also, can your bring "reinforcements" in from nearby hexes or through a friendly warp point in the middle of a battle? If so, how? Because I hear things that sound like that's what is happening, but I never get it to happen when I play.

1. How much of a performance degradadation does playing on Vista have? Because I notice that after I get a few hundred drones (I set the max in space limit to 200, but the game slows even if only 200 are in space, the rest in ship hangars), the game starts lagging unplayably.

2. Is the Unit Supply Bug in the simulator only? (Ie. I have a carrier launch 20 fighters in simulator one round, next round, they are all 0 on supplies and ordonance).

3. How does unit resupplying work? (Do fighters and drones resupply and reordonance automatically upon docking with motherships free of charge? Or
