Minor suggestion here. Would be nice if the notifications could be grouped into categories that make them easier to track. As it is I often miss things that I would have liked to be notified of, or have an over abundance of unnecessary notices. Example: the top notification bar which shows events li...

The only jarring thing for me is the radical stop every two weeks, with the auto zoom to councillor, regardless whether you're busy designing ships or browsing the tech tree. I would be fine if the game just paused and didnt interrupt what you were doing. The game speed indicator could just flash an...

I got past it!!!!!

Cant say for sure that I did anything different. I think it was just a bad roll on a bombardment operation (Ayys were bombing one of my mines on mercury). Maybe I just got lucky.

Anyway, it got past that date after multiple reloads.

So, my current campaign, I am up to 2046, and I have hit a snag. The game crashes on 19 November 2046 sometime between 14h00 and 15h00 no matter what I do. From the crash log excerpt below it looks like a fleet notification gone wrong. Visualizer Loader Complete: Complete Init NullReferenceException...

NATO was an alliance that, at one point, contained both General Franco and Harold Wilson.

It also contains Greece and Turkey ...

Now I am Hungary.

There are two obvious strategies for forcing engagements, however, they are both wasteful. PINCER ATTACK Attack with two fleets. The target fleet will evade or engage the first fleet but cannot evade the second if it arrives with the 'recovery phase' where the fleet cannot react. The problem with th...

You might be surprised to look at the real-world 1960s. NATO, SEATO and OAS covered a lot of countries. Agreed. 100%. But at the same time you would have people protesting because you allied with Israel. Others protesting because you allied with Saudi Arabia. And others protesting because of the mo...

But this is what already happens in the latest patch, surely? I saw a video where The Caliphate went into Federation & then full union with Israel (oh, the irony) and the discontent levels & cohesion in Israel went down the tubes as The Caliphate was not far short of dictatorship whereas Is...

Probably an 'easy' way to implement this is to change the priority 'pips' to a slider system, where each slider has a degree of freedom proportional to the level of influence you have in the country. Thus, if you have 50% popular support you can only make small changes to the investment priorities, ...

Some game mechanics changes I would appreciate. 1. Being able to designate which region an army spawns in, or a councillor mission (policy) to change its home region. This way i wont have an army spawning on an island without a navy, or having a home base far from a vulnerable border. 2. A way to de...

I am only on my fifth attempt now, so still much to learn. My fourth attempt I gave up at about 2038 with AA stomping all over the planet after the fracking servants gave them China and 30 nukes. In any case, in my latest playthroughs I have changed my ship building strategy, and become more familia...

This would be how I'd do it. 'Rest values' are calculated for 'uncommitted' and factional supporters. Uncommitted people want a budget that looks like whatever that country started the game with. Faction supporters want the sort of economy their faction likes. For every dot your economy is differen...

This. There should be institutional inertia - even if a government is now secretly controlled by a conspiracy with another agenda, there should be consequences for doing a rapid 180 on issues. Personally, I'd go even further with this, and have cohesion drift if you move economic policy away from a...

Its a bit awkward to see large countries ally anyone and everyone they can (obviously if they are the same faction) regardless of persuasion. However, i would suggest that there should be a cost to alliances, paid in the form of COHESION, with the cost being proportional to the difference in governm...

A lab provides some research points AND a bonus to research speed for the topic it relates to, regardless where it is built.

If it is built in an Earth Interface orbit, it provides a bonus to IP investment as well.

I think the way its implemented is quite good actually. Just because you invented lasers doesn't make your army instantly better. It just raises the potential (max) of what you can achieve. To actually implement it takes years of invest, training, doctrinal changes, etc. So, various techs in the gam...

How about a full Expanse mod? Factions: - Earth First (extremist) .. exploit the solar system to the max for the benefit of Earthers. - The UN (not so extremist) .... everyone should just get along, but the UN is in charge. - The OPA (extremists) .. Keel all Inners!!!! - The Belters (not so extremis...

The planet icon denotes Interface. You can mouseover it also to see the tooltip.

Also make sure you have positive cash, and positive Mission Control.

I've read that increasing the loyalty of your councillors also influence this (so be sure to keep there loyalty up).

Then, you will also find techs that help, as you finish campaign objectives.

To go through your 'request list' and to add some of my own: a - [Permanent Assignment]this already exists - permanent assignment is already an option, or am I missing something? You have to wait for the first mission result popup to assign permanent (if you still remember or didn't accidentally cl...

EDIT: Updating this post instead of creating new ones. Thanks to all the responses to my original post, and the follow ups. I love this game!!!! What a massive breath of fresh air. A game that does not assume its audience is dumb. I love the complexity of the mechanics and the real/hard sci fi appro...

Personally not too bothered by this as I feel it is being abstracted into mission control. Given that every base requires MC. If anything, MC could be tied to distance, so a base in Jovian system would cost more MC than a base in the asteroids or Martian planetary system. Alternately MC itself could...

Problem: You can get instant duplicate ships when refitting if you refit a ship multiple times, then cancel the refit. To Reproduce. 1. Select a ship that is docked. 2. Select the class to upgrade it to. 3. Add to queue at the relevant shipyard. 4. Click the same ship in the docked ships list. 5. Re...
