Quick Question re Medals

Are Auto Medal Conditions

AND or OR

So if it was
Destroy 1000 tons Hostile Warships
Destroy  1000 tons Hostile Grounds forces

Would it trigger if the Commander Destroyed 1000 tons Hostile Warships or Destroyed 1000 tons Hostile Grounds forces

Look like it is OR in the Change log thread

How can i add my own theme to the game?
I remember this being an option in VB6 but so far i have been forced to rename ranks one by one and its not fun :/

I looked around a lot and either it's not possible or it just plain doesn't exist anymore (capitals don't exist)

Is it possible to remove Tidal Lock in SM? I was looking into it but I was unable to remove it.

Well you have Sector Commands, and you can move that installation around, so technically you can move sector capitals...

I am gonna post it here, because it sort of is a question.

So I am still on v1.51, because I wanted to get farther than 5yr into a game finally. That is why I do not even dare to post in bugs for now. I finally got to designing a new gen of Imp. NPE, with up to date subtechs for engines. Naturally, that means a class refit for me too. Since this is early game I was gonna change my Geosurvey ships a bit. And I did, though NOT AS PLANNED.

Updated the design how I wanted it to be, with my fears being whether I will need to retool SY. Turns out the ships updated too. They now fly faster and I can see in the design window they are the new design. I originally planned to keep the old and obsolete it by making a copy of the old one and modifying that one, but I did that, pushed update armour and noticed weight went down (despite no new armor tech) so I deleted the copy design, went back to original to investigate and forgot to make a copy again. I got the Unlock design prompt but if my memory serves me right VB did not allow you to modify a design of ship that was in service. Here I did just that and the ships are updated instantly without needing refit.

So sorry for being lazy, maybe this was fixed, if yes ignore it, though if not Steve should probably learn of this. I put in bold what I believe is/was a bug.

That is how it worked in VB Aurora. Mainly used to fix mistakes like no fuel tanks, no magazines, etc.

So while it is gamey, that is the intention, to fix possible mistakes made by players? I assume there was no way to hide it under SM then?

Steve moved unlocking to an SM option fairly recently; because it was being reported as a bug.

In the Award medal screen found in the Commanders screen, there's a list of all ranks on the right hand side.
With the top rank check marked. Anyone know what that does?

I would guess that is what types of people are eligible for the various medals.

was my first thought to, but it's the top level one that's selected. Which doesn't fit

I know you're able to click-drag most stuff now, but is there a way to mass select a certain number of, say, box launchers? I have a ship with 100 box launchers, but I want that ship to be able to launch as many launchers per volley as I choose, say 20. Is there a way to select 20 box launchers and then click drag them onto the fire control, or would I have to click drag 20 individual box launchers onto the fire control?
