Few questions...

[Lancefighter]

First off, i did a random, and came up with an Cammoflager.. i cant seem to find that type in the selection box at all. And I see tons of ... well, wreckage. In a lot of places. Also, on my scout map, it shows on one of my places 5 engineers, whereas in the system on the scout overlay it shows 5 cloaked ships (no other hostiles in system, no supply in the system for the AIs either)

Second, bomber starships. I note there is a 'mad bomber' type AI, who seems to use these; Could they perhaps also be a player unlockable special unit, like other special units (but a starship!)? pretty please? ( should this be in the suggestions area? )


Also, when I switch between systems I seem to somehow manage to select half of the units in the system I am going through (going via ctrl click on wormholes). Is this normal?

Are you playing with the expansion on, or no?  If so, you should see the Camouflager.  If not, then this is a bug with it letting the expansion AI types be selected in the non-expansion games.  I'll check on that.  The Camouflager has all of its ships with the camouflage ability, which makes them look like wreckage unless they are doing something at the time.

Funny you should mention that, I literally just finished coding out bomber I starships as a new Experimental Starship Fabricator unit!  There are two other new starships coming (for the expansion) in the next prerelease that will be out in a few minutes, but this one is the sole experimental starship for the base game at the moment.

This is a bug that had been fixed, but which appears to have resurfaced.  You're not the first to report it, but I haven't gotten to it yet.  I intend to have that (plus a laundry list of other bugs) fixed before the next official release.

negative on the expansion, have it disabled from the settings menu.

And on the selecting units bug, i remember it present in the steam version (the one without a letter at the end), but cannot remember it was in any of the lettered prereleases, but its certainly back now. Unfortunately cant give more accurate details than its back, I cant seem to pin down what units are selected or anything

And awesome about the bomber starships

Okay, yeah, so it's allowing you to choose random AIs from the expansion with the expansion disabled.  Whoops.  I think I remember having realized that, but then forgot about it again.  Thanks for reminding me.

I think it was back for 2.0 (the first Steam version), but it had been fixed for a while in September or August or something.  It is selecting the ships under your mouse cursor when you click the planet on the galaxy map.

Yes, should be cool.

erm, I am getting this when clicking between wormholes on planet view... it doesnt seem to happen from the galaxy map.

Oh yes?  Well, it remembers your prior selection at each planet as a convenience; are you sure that isn't what it is?

as a matter of fact, it doesnt do that either. When switching between planets through ctrl-click on a wormhole, it chooses whatever it wants. Oftentimes, turrets, but sometimes other stuff.. it does NOT remember what I had selected before (just tried)

Hmm, I'll check into that.
