Beta 5 notes

from Stardock Forums
Completed one game. Considerations:
- sometimes constructors are launched with 0 available movements;
- when a planet revolts and join another empire, all ships are launched and if a transport/combat transport (CT) is available then population gets duplicated on planet and 1/2 loaded into it (2 cases out of 2);
- those CT were not able to invade (could not move in)an enemy planet but were able to unload people in my planets;
- I was defeated for "military victory" while I still was owning 10+ planets and not at war with the other left empire. I was rather expecting an influence victory...;
- autosurvey does not move when don't know any resource location. Should add a random movement in that case until finds somethings...;
- worm event: if you choose the good side, you do not see the planed rated back (ex: level 15 minus 10% should be level 14 at least) but it behaves like a rated back planet. I saw that when I developed soil & habitat improvements and it remained at the same level;
That's all folks (for now...)

"when a planet revolts and join another empire, all ships are launched and if a transport/combat transport (CT) is available then population gets duplicated on planet and 1/2 loaded into it"

This sounds like a neat feature (except population shouldn't double, and the amount of "loyal" citizens should be random, not exactly 1/2 every time).

I think autosurvey works just as it should...it basically
stops surveying when no other anomalies are present so you can move it elsewhere yourself, or let it sit there until another anomaly emerges...otherwise you might not know it was just flitting about the universe doing nothing.
Just my opinion... :)

Re: Autosurvey. I like to build an extra survey ship very early in the game (I normally play Gigantic Galaxy). Sometimes my survey ships will both go after the same anomaly, one of them coming from a very long way away. I would like the ship furthest from the anomaly to "auto-explore", instead of going after the same anomaly as my other survey ship.

Re: Worm event. I have observed this too.
