Nice concept. Does putting ships with a filled hangar into a hangar work in C#? I assume it does, but haven't tested it yet.

If my memory serves me, doing so in VB6 would result in the second-tier hangar load entering parasite nirvana (=aurora equivalent of a dwarven atom smasher=). And if you had to unload them first, you'd need additional hangar space on the first-tier carrier, I think.

So, a 2-stage carrier approach? A transport carrier that get's the combat carrier to the battlefield. IIRC in VB parasites inside a parasite vanished so that would have taken excessive hangar space, but if it works in C# that seems like an interesting concept to open the books upon again.

That would be annoying if the Cetan cannot carry a useful fighter wing. However I am still interested in testing the nested carrier concept.

I think it might be possible to order an 'abandon station' order and then salvage the station wreck. I haven't yet tested this but I plan on doing this with my fuel harvester station now that I have depleted all sorium in my home system.

If you've got a big enough civilian ship yard you could probably just drag it over and order it scrapped that way. I don't know how big you build your stations, mine mostly aren't really that big compared to even minimalist cargo ships.

...Well, so far. Once I start building orbital habitats I guess that'll be another story.

I only ever build stations if I can't build a large enough ship to accomplish my goals. In this case my station is about 500k tons and my largest shipyard is about 200k tons, so shipyard scrapping is not an option.

Fortunately it is a commercial station so it's maintenance costs are trivial.

I'm still playing on 1.10 so posting here instead of the 1.11 bug report thread. 

I'm currently excavating a ruin and have found multiple caches of ship components.  However I have observed two bugs when disassembling components for research points:

1) if you are currently researching a tech you get no points for disassembly even though you get the event message indicating you did.  You must cancel the research project, disassemble the item, and then restart research

2) disassemble all gives event messages that indicate you got research points for all of the items, but you only get points for the first item.

If any of you are disassembling found/salvaged/captured components in 1.11 please make a save before disassembling and verify your remaining research points afterwards to see if this bug is still active.  If it is please report it. 

I request that in the 'ground forces->order of battle' window, bind the delete key to 'delete formation'.

Additionally, it would be cool if that window supported multi-select. (my general understanding is that has the potential to be a lot trickier to get working right however, having faffed with QT and such in my day)
