[quote who="Horemvore" reply="198" id="3741673"] Quoting JerkClock, reply 196 Let me just ask a fair question here, do you think the fact that you have been modding an unfinished game (since the last expansion wasn't out until yesterday) might just have a LOT to do with that? I think your name

Thank you! I believe 8.9 will work with 3.4. The updates were pretty minimal. In other news... updating for Retribution continues... I've figured out how to update all the Shipsets (I don't use the fleet editor since it isn't 100% complete). Most things seem to be updated fine... though there are new events I haven't seen before that I need to track down for editing. Here are some new parts you get with GRM 8.9 btw: <img src="https

I'm a little confused... Are you implying he should have waited until the game was "finished" or that his efforts somehow made it less likely that SD would work to fix their own issues/etc.? Or something else?

I remember seeing "worker" ships for supplying social production and "engineer" ships for supplying military production. The code has groundwork for engineer ships (in shipclassdefs.xml) but they don't seem to appear in FactionDefsShipsets.xml or in game or in the fleet editor... guessing they got cut?

There is a reason the Allies couldn't repeat the wonderful (relatively) advances of Messine Ridge... because the unique terrain allowed for it. Also, what you are discussing is hardly use of "mines" it's use of explosives and a practice known as "sapping". If I found a way to fire a mine out of a cannon and have it explode on top of an enemy... that isn't a "mine" it's an artillery barrage.

As I see it, there are two ways to approach any concept for GC3. 1) A pseudo realistic approach, whereby we justify the idea in real-world terms. I say "pseudo" because actual real world terms need to be somewhat flexible to even work in a game. For example, for all we know, there just isn't a way to go faster than light and therefore the entire game might not make sense. 2) Purely in game terms. Completely abstract value. In this way we suggest a feature would be "convenient"

[quote who="ScrivenerOfLight" reply="84" id="3740237"] I don't want to get too off topic, but I want to share a brief synopsis of some game play I did last night (while listening to the State of the Union address--so about an hour... plus a little) that illustrates that the game does currently allow for other strategies beyond colony rush--but they aren't necessarily the best strategies... I played on an immense galaxy as Terrans with 6 other factions set to gifted. I decided
