V 1. 3, conventional start, ~10 years into campaign

Choosing to use components when building a ship decreases the time to build the ship by (presumably) the correct amount, but does not actually consume the components from the planetary stockpile

In a TN start the [INSTANT] button is still unlocking free Tech after you spent all your RP. Closing and opening the window fixes this

Shhhh.... I need this to unlock my final 2000 pts Tech when I only have 800 available....

Alreay reported in 1. 00, still happening:

Unless I missed something, there seemed to be a bug in the calculation of the minimum ranks of admin command.

Ex:
- Logistic Command 1 -> LtCdr
-- Logistic Command 11 -> LtCdr
--- Colony Squadron
---- 3 Ship -> Lt

Shouldn't the rank for Logistic Command 1 be Cdr?
It's strange, it works well for my survey and naval commands but not for logistic & industry.  .  . 

Don't know if it's related, but here is picture of another case (missing a rank jump between logistic command and support fleet)

This is a bit hard to explain, but ordering a ship to be repaired does not remove it from the "ships needing repair" list immediately.  This allows you to assign the same ship for repair in multiple slips and/or shipyards.  If this happens, it will cause a divide by zero order whenever you open the Colonies Window, look at the Shipyard or Shipyard Tasks screens, or advance time by more than a few seconds.

Fixed.

To add to this, Repairing a ship with 0 damage causes a divide-by-zero error and causes the "Shipyard Tasks" tab to be blank, preventing you from cancelling the task. DB attached

Class Design Window:

Size in Tons Checkbox doesn't do anything.  Or I am blind. . . .

No, not blind

Removed.

I'd like to second the request that events open on a double click rather than a single. It's disorienting to try and read them with my screen reader because arrowing down on them does the equivalent of focus/single-clicking, and the window pops open.

I did read the last line at the eye doctor sheet a few years ago

Forum search didn't show any results for this error (though, thinking of it, just thought of a second issue that showed up a couple of hours ago; added it at the end).

Hi guys,

Not sure if my post wasn't commented on because of lack of time or because I'm doing something very stupid, but I've been seeing bizarre behaviour from my tankers.     

Basics from my (different one) freshly created game that led to the behaviour:
- Built a Fuel Harvester station, towed it to Gas Giant, which I made a colony.      FH Station is marked as with no armour and as a tanker, and has a refuelling hub.     
- Have a tanker to transport fuel from station to Earth.      At moment of test, both station and tanker are orbiting giant, different fleets.      For the tanker, orders are:
Refuel at Refuelling Hub (All) // No order // Fuel tanks full -> Harvester Transfer and Return // No condition

'Lo and beyond, right after setting those orders I have a lightspeed tanker that knows no distances ! (see images attached, map.   png to see speed, and fleet.  png to see how distance differs in each case)


Could someone please comment?

EDIT: Error #1414, Value too big or low for decimal, showed up again like in the previous post

Clicking on an "inactive lab" event in Events window open the Mining tab of Economics view, instead of the Research one.

Suggestion : Opening a tab by clicking the corresponding event in events window is great, but double-clicking would be better IMO. When I want to change the back color or text color of an event, it opens a tab and that's annoying

Also would like to mention, related to this:
using the arrow keys in the event viewer, to scroll through the events and read them, will trigger the events as if you clicked on them, and will launch  the related window!
This is probably unintended and should not happen, right?

I've changed it to double-click instead.

Agreed and changed.

Conventional industry no longer available during conventional start.
I have the 800 industry from game start but no option to build more under the
industry tab ==> construction.

That is working as intended. You should not be able to build conventional industry.

Hi

Not sure if this is a bug or I'm just blind but I can't seem to find the 'create new rank' for Ground Force Commanders.  I can only see that for naval ranks.  I can rename but not create.

Fixed.

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Looks like fighters can be built with unresearched prototype components.  Maybe the function that checks is only called by shipyard construction.

Fixed.

Can't spot it mentioned already, but I can also build prototyped parts with industry before researching the prototype.  Might be that this also fixes that, but if not sounds like a similar missing check.

Fixed.

Commercial Hangar does not allow for the "Land on Mothership" order to appear as a movement order.

I cannot give a land order to a fleet with this carrier:

I previously tried this with a Commercial Hangar that also has a maintenance module, but I got the same result.
