Did anyone ever encounter a bug with species Population Density and Growth/Research rate/factory modifiers ? For some reason when i loaded the save my Humans suddenly had 100.00 both density and growth.
Various tested runs ( both TN and conv civs ) also show that game suddenly adds two zeroes to those parameters.
See attached pic - ignore the grav/temp deviations, i was trying to see if it will change too but it doesnt apparently..

EDIT : seems to happen right from the start with all four parameters - density/growth/research rate/factory production modifiers at the race creation screen - i set them all to 5.00 and in game its suddenly 500.00, i leave them at default and in game they are 100.00.

2.5.1
Absolute clear install, not even so much as a additional picture or medal.

Hi All,

Just a quick update to let you know that, since my last update, there have been NO new videos posted to Youtube so you haven't missed anything. That's nothing new in 26 construction cycles. Now could be a good time to check out some on the list that you may have missed!

Thanks,

Andy

Update on my Star Trek game: I've found a design that I really like for my exploration cruisers. I split the ship into two, a 40k ton commercial "saucer section" that tugs around a 26k ton secondary hull. In addition to the tug the saucer has hangars for survey craft and some fuel and maintenance reserves, while the secondary hull has military engines, a fairly short range, a long deployment time, and a battery of particle beamsphasers and photon torpedoes. During survey missions they normally stay attached, but if the ship gets into trouble the secondary hull can separate and fight at full speed.

This brings us to the story of the Horatio. USS Horatio, an Ambassador-class starship, was scouting Romulan space when it ran into some Romulan fuel harvesters with a light escort. The Federation and the Romulans are currently at war, so the Horatio attacked and destroyed all of them besides an escort cruiser that surrendered. The captured ship can't go anywhere under its own power -- in fact there aren't many undamaged components left -- but I wanted to try to recover it, so the Horatio's saucer tugged it to a safer system where a recovery vessel could pick it up. The secondary hull remained where it was while the ship's shuttles conducted survey operations. Meanwhile, though, a fleet of Romulan warships took up station at the jump point into the system, cutting off the Horatio's saucer from the rest of the ship! So now I'm assembling a fleet to retake the jump point so that I can reunite the Horatio's saucer and secondary hull. 

Expansionnist should be spelled expansionist

 

The NPRs don't always coordinate their salvos of the same missile type from the same location. As a result of this campaign, I have added some extra AI code so that NPR ships considering launching ASMs will be aware of the reload status of other NPR ships in the same location, even if not in the same fleet, and may wait for them in order to coordinate their attacks.

This still doesn't affect AAM ships in ASM mode, but I will tackle that if the ASM change works.

It also doesn't affect situations where one or more NPR ships have longer-ranged fire controls and may fire when other ships are still out of range. However, once two ships or more are within range, they will coordinate. I decided to ignore the 'longer-ranged' firing first situation because I don't want to get into the AI deciding if firing some missiles early and then coordinating later salvos is better than saving missiles and launching together, as they would have to consider opponent weapon range, PD, chance of their own ships being destroyed, etc..
