You probably have a mod enabled. That's exactly what I got when I had The Mars Effect enabled, as soon as I disabled it everything was fine again.

Hmm, fleet size doesnt work for me, all the sizes give the same values. ;:[!] X.X

either fleet size is bugged or its only the display being bugged, havent actually gotten to ~2000 supply to check.

You should start with more than 100 FPs if you turn it up to Large, no?

I see no change with the patch, could somenone please explain the effect this change is suppose to do to fleet size.

Here's how it works.

From the gameplay.constants:

fleetSupplyData-Small
fleetSupplyScalar 0.75
fleetSupplyData-Normal
fleetSupplyScalar 1.0
fleetSupplyData-Large
fleetSupplyScalar 1.25

Basically, at small you get 75%, normal is 100% (default), and large is 125%.

The default start is 100. If you start with Large, you'll get 125. Works so far! Now take the first research. It moves you from 100 to 250 (so it adds 150). Do the research at Large, and you get 312 as the new max instead of 250. 25% of 150 is 37.5, in addition to the initial 25 = 67.5 "extra". 250 + 67.5 = 312 (game always rounds down).

The short version: whenever you gain FPs, the setting modifies how much you gain :)

ok, so it's just that the fleet logistics research descriptions don't adapt to the game settings, but show always the values for normal.

Yeah, the actual numbers on the research are static, but the increase itself does work. The numbers are read from the actual research files, and displayed "stock" before any modifiers are applied it looks like..

It would be kind of stupid to do equations in text strings, which is why they don't display the actual values (yet).
