^I feel like feature creep might be an issue here, but so many of them sound really good and useful, so its hard to make any objection. lol

Will we be able to see ships in class in design screen again? I miss that feature a lot.

You can see that now on the 'Ships in Class' tab.

I did not convey well what I meant.  I mean, other ships similar to that class that can be built in the same shipyard.

So true. So completely true.

I am almost anticipating 2.0 as much as I was anticipating 1.0.

It's would not be wholly inaccurate to say that Aurora is "Feature Creep : The Game", as so much of it is rooted in Starfire, and then developed according to what Steve needed/wanted/thought would be cool to beat up the Chinese with tell stories IN SPAAAAAACE with

The earliest VB6 versions were basically Starfire with 5HS engines.

"Minerals can be delivered to the DSP and collected from it, as it assumed these are stored as free-floating resources. They will be displayed as per a normal population."
I was re-reading this. Why can't MSP be stored free-floatingly like the minerals anyway?

I saw someone on the Discord mention that there's no easy way that can be automated to unload MSP to a DSP. Maybe there should be an MSP Hub component that works like the refueling hub, letting ships unload MSP to and resuply from?

Hey, Steve, since 2.1 is halving the mineral cost of terraforming installations after 2.0 halved only the BP cost, is the same supposed to be done with repair yards, because their BP cost was also halved in 2.0 or are they fine like this?

[Jarhead0331]

Now that the long-awaited 2.0 patch is out, should the name of this thread be changed officially to 2.0 to avoid confusing any new comers?

Yes, fixed for v2.1

Yes, good idea. Done that now.

Are you sure it's done? Thread is still named 1.14.

Edit: The OP post is correctly named but every other reply is still titled 1.14, which if anything is more confusing as the old name is shown on the "recent posts" because of this.

Name of the thread should be fixed now...I run an SMF forum of my own and when the subject name of the OP is changed, it will not update until someone replies to the OP, which I just did.
