Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the mod. My MSI Wind U100 can't handle many games, but being that SoaSE is one of my favourites I don't need it to :) Are you going to be waiting for Diplomacy proper to come out before modding it, or will you also do it for the beta?

Which doesn't make sense. It's fine if the ability stops them, but it shouldn't cancel orders and the stunlock of the marauder just equals loss if you get caught by it early game. That level of micromanagement is just annoying more than anything else.

I've been playing a few games against one of my friends recently and he always seems to kick my arse. He told me what he does is he just colonizes a planet, upgrades infrastructure once, builds mines and moves on - and spends the rest of his income on basic units. I can fight him off for a little while but eventually he has an fleet of equal size to me with more planets, though I've had some research done and my planets are a bit better developed. Anyway, he has me at a deadlock and he can just

Most games are decided in the first 30 minutes, should do something to make longer games more viable. Also, make it so that you can have team start positions. (these are balance changes, but not race balance changes)

I don't think it's a bug as such, more incomplete design.

I think it's just poor/incomplete design rather than a bug.

You misunderstand. The marauder has what seems to be a perma-stun, and when it stuns (the invulnerability thing it conveys on enemy ships), it cancels those ships orders, hence my TEC capital ship was unable to leave the fight.

Maybe he was attacking a neutral planet and some of his ships were destroyed?

I just finished playing a game before, and there was one thing I noticed (a bit too late, alas), that seriously pissed me off. I'd decided attacking this Ice Planet was no longer worth it, so i ordered my troops back to my home planet. Started, y'know, playing around with the rest of my empire in the expectation that my fleet was fine, however next thing I know I get the message that my capitals ships hull is severely damaged. I look back and it turns out my capital ship is still attacking their

I'd like to be able to create subgroups under fleets and have them with a certain order modes. For example, in Fleet 1 I'd make Group 1 Capital Ships Group 2 smaller combat ships Group 3 Support ships and for certain order modes For group 1 i'd give them the order "Attack non-capital ships", while for group 3 i might do "support capital ships". These orders would be the same as setting stance to aggressive, etc.
