Thanks zingo and seilore. If i leave everything in AUTO it looks like it works like seilore's example. Sure hope they add a global constructor select button. Rather than take yard sponsors off of auto to exclude my dedicated mill yards, i just sut them down when i do my mass base scrolling and constructor summoning. The still occasionally taps my mill yards when a base auto requests another constructor but it typically keeps it to a minimum. &nb

[quote who="zingo77" reply="2" id="3627886"] From stream Paul mentioned- the auto system will choose the best shipyard for a given starbase that can deliver the constructor in the most less time possible. [/quote] So it would seem you should add all ship yards as sponsors to all bases (except ones you may reserve for military building) so the "best" will always be selected

Ok, just call be slow. With multiple sponsors does it draw from the yard that can deliver a constructor the fastest? Is it taking into account both build and travel time, irrespective of distance? SayI have a base with 3 yard sponsors and I order 5 constructors designed@ 5 speed cost 100 (all #’s just for example) Yard Dist Mfg/turn 1 &nbsp

Also Several merc ships still appear to be assigned wrong role (or at least a poor choice). Escorts are sacrificial units in a fleet as they are mostly targeted first and attacked until destroyed. E.g. your expansive merc carrier getting blown away on its first battle is a real downer. It should have a support role (like normal carriers) vs. escort. The Zindellit =survey ship: escort; should be support The Praxis= Ideology points: escort;

[quote who="ManiiNames" reply="1" id="3626908"] Sounds like fodder for a good mod! [/quote] Yup, I have already made the changes and tweaked some of the preks. Don't remember my exact #'s but an example is a merc that costs 1000 and only boosts income by 10/turn. Thats 100 turn payback! Not balanced imo Disclamer. I do really like the merc concept, just thing it needs some tweeking
