AI War Beta 6.019-6.021 "Nebulous Diligence" Released!

[Faulty Logic]

On the nebulae:

The spawns are way too big. As soon as a small base goes down, chaos rules the battlefield. It also makes it so that making runs against the large base is better than working with your allies.

I would try spawns with strength .2*current strength*hull size.

And remove them from the devourer, colony ship, and dyson gatling scenarios, because it makes them too easy.

Also, the Plasma Siege Cannon MkIV is still missing it's graphics; dunno if you are aware of that or not.

Where are you encountering the lack of that?  The bug I was fixing was where the spire city module wasn't finding its buy icon, and those only go up to MkIII.

But the bug before was that expansion-3 (LotS) stuff was looking in the expansion-4 (AS) folder for that graphic.  The Spire Corvette is an expansion-4 unit.  Are you saying you installed AS and did not get the buy icons for the plasma siege cannon modules?  I'm not sure how that happened without getting reported yet

But I suppose stranger things have happened...

He was talking about a mkIII corvette (vettes can use mk+1 and below modules), but to answer your question: previously mkIV corvettes were built at a normal starship constructor after an additional tech unlock.  They have been moved to the ASC (and that tech unlock removed from the game), however.

I haven't use Spire Corvettes until just recently, so I don't know if something is weird with my install.  It's not just the buy icons - the actual icon on the ship show up as pink squares as well.  There's also an error message that pops up about not being able to find an image file - I can get you a screen of that if you want.

It used to be that all the plasma cannons except Mk1 showed up as pink squares - when you fixed the bug with the Spire cities, the Mk2 and Mk3 cannons started showing up but I still get a pink square for the Mk4 cannon.

 I found a starchip mk4 constructor and spire corvettes in a game yesterday, and I could build the mk4 corvettes just fine, but I couldnt go in controls/ship design and design my corvettes to be built to spec.
