Well, here I am again fighting with ground combat. . .

Stick one INF-LOG in a regiment and advance time one production cycle and see what happens.

If nothing, then it may be that units only draw supply during combat.

Otherwise, see:

Is there any way to manually set the required rank to command a ship? If so, where can it be found? (I may have missed it)

Ship details --> Miscellaneous tab

If it's not there, it hasn't been implemented yet.

Thus, it has not been implemented. Thanks.

I really, REALLY like the new system body editing features (Thanks Steve!).  I can't seem to find a way to modify the tectonics value though and some of the terrains I want to test and play with are locked to a minimum tectonic value.  Is there a way to modify this that I have missed or has it not been implemented (yet?)?

If it's not on the 'Modify Body' window, it's not implemented.

Seems they really take supplies only in combat. I put 16 SUP vehicles directly to regiment, so each regiment has now 16 SUP vehicles for more than 2 months and they have still 0 supplies.

I wonder if this is WAI? I don't see it mentioned in Steve's original post on Ground Force Logistics.

I think he said this was fixed in 1.9.5, what version are you on?

[Black]

I am on 1.9.5 but the game started on 1.9.0.

IS it possible to rename and change portrait and flag of a NPR race?

You can change the name and flag you see on the Intelligence & Foreign Relations window, but not the 'real' ones assigned by Aurora.

A - The event messages appear at the top of the screen, not at the bottom. This does not seem very logical to me. Ships contact expand from bottom to top, so when you have a lot, they are sure to be in the same area as the events. Whereas with the Aurora VB6 way, it would not be a problem.

B - I forgot to check 'avoid combat' for all my HQ, LOG, is it editable?

[Garfunkel]

No, you have to re-create the unit classes.

I did a quick search, but to no avail. How do I unload onto a colony MSPs or fuel? For fuel, that's a brand new colony, so I guess I miss a facility. But MSPs? I can't unload part of the too large MSP reserve of my freighter back to Earth (and here I guess they siphoned some of Earth stockpile to fill their own capacity)

[Black]

Ship needs to be marked as Supply Ship/Tanker.

Edit: It seems you do not need cargo shuttles to transfer MSP to planet but you need Refuelling Capability on colony and refueling system on ship to transfer fuel.

[vorpal+5]

Ok, it works, sort off ...

1. It seems I can't unload partially or load partially, as in VB6. There is a 'minimum available' with a number that can be changed, but so far it seems to not do anything.

2. Although I can drop fuel on Earth, I can't on Luna. Do I need a fuel depot of sort?
