TobiWahn, Darvroth, How up-to-date is the git repository with your recent fixes & developments? I've just downloaded the current version and found various problems. 1) Vorlons & Shadows still not playable as they start with no constructor ships nor shipyards. 2) Minbari 'Open Jumppoint' ability doesn't work as it depends on EA(?) 'Hyperspace Jump Engine' tech. 3) Sharoos warcruiser: 4th ability (name & de
The intent was to just add a bit more 'B5 flavour' to Sins - I'm sure I've missed off lots of them.

Query regarding the Narn research tree:- Infocard for tier 3 tech 'Alien Trade' claims to unlock Orbital Tradeport - however it doesn't. Inforcard for Orbital Tradeport states that it require 'Credit Maker' tech - which is tier 8. Seems a bit harsh for the Narn that they can't setup a trade network until mid/late game.

The +10% AM capacity of PCR isn't really worth an artifact any

If it hasn't changed (between 0.42 & 0.43) the Sharkaan itself requires a tier-7 tech which in turn requires lots of research in other trees, eg Civil War. There's not much left for the Minbari to research at tier 7, so the AI going after ability techs, hopefully, shouldn't be that much of an issue. It will be nice to have some more ships with support abilities. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Edit: Suggestion for Vorlon scout/envoy: re-use Seeker Ves

Unmoveable files are also going include parts of the registry, the page/swap file, and (for laptops) the hibernation file. The last two, pagefile.sys & hiberfil.sys, can be a several Gb in size as they're extending or backing up RAM. The more physical memory you have, the larger these files tend to be. As these files are always in exclusive use by the kernel, then no other user-mode process can defragment them. I would have thought that you should able

With the un-modded game, has anyone else noticed that you seem to get a lot less lag when you hold down the Alt key? As this displays a tactical info, I'd expect an increase in lag not a reduction - may indicate an optimization that could be made to the engine.

AI players can build multiple embassies in your grav wells. I had one planet with 8 embassies :- 5 from one ally, 3 from another. I presume that, like envoy ships, diplo bonuses do not stack with multiple units. Could it be possible to limit a grav well to one embassy per faction?
