[quote who="JackBauer36" reply="3851" id="3311190"]Hi, have a little problem there. Some spaceships / fighter flight within a planet very often endlessly away from a attacker. The enemy spaceships / fighter fly behind it. If you do not then there intervenes via dev console, which is very annoying. you can change this somehow?[/quote] Haven't experienced that. If you do error reporting (which is nice) please be so kind as to provide enough information for us to understand the probl
[quote who="NewHorizons" reply="3846" id="3310421"]Is that only a limitation for EA? Seems a bit unfair that certain races can never traverse wormholes - I'm sure other races can use wormholes.[/quote] Not sure but if you file a ticket it will be rectified at some point.

[quote who="JackBauer36" reply="3837" id="3309897"]Hi, there is no possibility other than the dev console, so the EA can travel between worm holes?[/quote] Currently there is no tech to allow wormhole travel IIRC. Might need to change that in the future.
It is easily possible to have different starbases per race (tested with3 but think more are possible) When I had every race with a military and a jumpgate starbase, the AI built only jumpgate starbases and I had no way of telling it which starbase to prioritize. So we need to make sure that the AI at least tries to build military starbases. For human players it is possible to open up the the possibilities by eg. • Having a second ability on the sb module creator &

Checked a small graphics update into the repository. Textures adapted for rebellion, rotating sections now use the proper shader. Due to a bug in the shader handling of particles I advise to turn of the bloom filter (it got worse with rebellion)

Definitely a later thing when the mod is complete and we are just adding content for the fun of it.

Hi all, haven't had the time to read everything posted the last few days, but wanted to thank you for all you've done that year and wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. As I'm away the next couple of days (and without internet most of the time) we will see again next year.

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="3756" id="3296231"]Rebellion's start up thing has some weird ass functions built into it; namely that, if my understand is correct, requires Titans to have a Cosmetic counterpart (the one that shows up in the start up "map"). Additionally, as it's a randomly generated map, this means that each time you go to the main menu, the game generates a new map. This results in a longer start up phase for the game, and can be avoided by giving the galaxy map called Fr
