only 20 ship schematics?
« on: February 02, 2011, 11:11:28 pm »
i was wondering if it was intended to only have 20 schematics for small ships while any new ones will replace one of the others

(tested this with the advanced research lab spawn cheat)

Yep, that's the intended behavior at the present time.

WTFUUUUU-

Are you gentlemen telling me that researching to many fleet ships will lead to the deletion of old ones? Or does it only refer to the base types?
If it's the latter, than that would mean that at...hold on...3 basics, one starting bonus type...one can only safely take over 16 ARSs?
16. How many ARSs can there be on a 120 map?

There are always 5 ARS.  The only reason you're going to experience ship-bump (the ship isn't deleted - if you had a factory repeat-queuing that ship type it'll still build it even though you can't select anything else to build that ship type anymore) is to start with more than 11 planets.

5...oh man. That's way less than I thought.

But my oldtimey machien could never handle the ship caps incurred by playing with several homeworlds, so I suppose this won't be an issue for me. Ah, the relief!

Well, you can use cheats to forcefully spawn more ARSs, and then capture those. But then again, that is another silly case.
