C# Suggestions

Yeah I forgot about the difference between Squadron and Standard transit.... my fault. Thank you.

New Standing Order. Rescue closest Life pod.

It would save a lot of manual effort if a lot of ships have been blown up and you want to rescue all the survivors

This was in VB6 and is not in C# as I presume an oversight, you currently have to do multiplication to actually get the orders you want, this can be extremely annoying and forces me to instead just use civs for this to get precise quantities of stuff.

Would be great, I feel this should of been re added a while ago, thanks for reading steve if you are!

1) Allow me to designate a current research project as the assignment of any new research labs. That way I don't get an interrupt for idle labs every time I build or import a lab.

Added and extended a little.

Added for v1.12.

I need a condition for deployment exceeded so I can send them home when their deployment is over... i don't want to wait until their maintenance supply fall below a certain level. I build all of my survey ship from a specific deployment time and send them home for overhaul when that is over.

Expand on the Carried Items screen, currently it shows Ordenance and Cargo, have it include Parasites

Number of officer types graduated by military academy relatively to the number of ranks. I've added 3 additional ranks to the ground forces due to designing ground forces down to squad-level and even with all military academies having a ground force commander assigned to them, it is still too little to supply the required officers for three regiments of size 68,000~ each.

As Steve is rock and rolling today I am trying my luck as I am sure many others would love to see this happening sometime

Thanks, this is really great... would it also be possible to make it so when a ship finish the overhaul during the conditional order it also try to resupply and refuel before it heads back out or at least a second overhaul conditional order that add those two. Otherwise you still will need to manually make sure that this happens... sure you can clear the order and you will get a notification of it, but this I think would be very appreciative by everyone and probably in your own games as well.

I hadn't really understood the issue with resupply/refuel with overhauls because I always set the two orders together, but didn't want to force a refuel/resupply for those players who could be running with a shortage.

What I hadn't realised was that this was in connection to conditional overhaul orders, in which case the option for the preceding order isn't available. I've added a new conditional order on that basis.

So I was talking with some dude known only as 'Niko' on the discord and he pointed out that dismantling components would be a lot more useful if it provided 'say, X% of that tech level's stuff'.

I kindof took this to mean if it provided X% of progress to every intervening tech level up to and including the final technology itself, that would make it a lot more useful.  I personally wholeheartedly approve of this notion and felt the need to post it on the forums.  Currently you are encouraged to wait until one tech level before the tech of the device, to maximize the research point gain.  I think that some kind of boost of this nature would make archeology a significantly more fun mechanic in general as it would mean you want to dismantle whatever you find as soon as possible and would be rushing to obtain artifacts and ship them off for disassembly.

In example, a component offers 10% progress towards ion drive tech, and your empire is currently at nuclear thermal.

Currently:
10% progress towards improved nuclear thermal

Proposed:
10% progress towards improved nuclear thermal
10% progress towards nuclear pulse
10% progress towards improved nuclear pulse
10% progress towards ion engines

It might sound good from a game-play perspective but not from a more realistic perspective. If a medieval society found a working computer they would never make anything out of it before they progressed through the technology to understand how it works. It is the same principle in the game. You can use the technology but you can't understand how it works unless you have a fundamental understanding of the technologies necessary.
