I've never used the feature, but in the Construction portion of the Empire Policy screen you can set the minimum population for each space port size. Those settings might allow your colonies to upgrade size as the colony grows in population.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: fierceking<br/> <br/> I've noticed this issue. This would be a lot of work to fix. I can't promise I can fix this anytime soon.

<t> If you have time, you might want to check your character files. At least some of them have characters with inappropriate skill types.<br/> <br/> As an example: the first ambassador in the Xflinta file, Ne' lis 'Ehe ros, has skill types 1, 13, 9, and 5. Skill type 1 (Diplomacy), is appropriate fo...

<t> Resort bases have been working in my games since Shadows came out. Unless I'm playing a race that needs them for racial victory conditions, I only build one or two a game. I only build them on locations with a scenic value of 50 or above. It take awhile for guests to show up, then awhile after t...

It's not a lack of money - the ships retrofit if given the command individually, but not if given the command as a fleet.

I uploaded two save games a week ago, but I have not seen any response from the developers, so I don't know if they have even had a chance to look at them yet.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Mozo<br/> <br/> Happens to me too (the ship doesn't follow the planet anymore). It turns out the ship isn't "discovered" by a scout. The destroyer will never be repaired no matter how long you let the constructor run. Eventually my scouts fly by and suddenly the sh...

<t> I just posted three zipped files on the Matrix server about this refit bug: "vengen - DW Refit Bugs Description" is a word document describing how to recreate the bugs (I found a second issue where only some of the ships in a fleet refit). "vengen - No Refit By Fleet Save Game" file is the save ...

<t> I'm having the same problem as peddroelm. With the game paused; I double left click a ship to select the fleet, then right click it to bring up the menu, then select retrofit to latest design. The ships travel to the space port and sail right over it ignoring the refit order. If I then pause the...

That's a race trait of either Zenox or Ugnari (I can't remember which). It's from before the update, you get it every three or four years when you play the race.

<t> My issue with #3 is that the old designs are not getting obsoleted, so I end up with 15 or 20 crusiser and battleship designs being displayed as avaialble for construction.<br/> <br/> However, since no one else is reporting any problems like mine, it's probably something specific to my situation...

<t> I've noticed a few things that may be bugs in 1.7.0.16 (but I've played so infrequently in the last two years that they may be things that I've somehow messed up in my settings): <br/> <br/> 1 - Started a game as Wekkarus and the default escorts were the size of frigates, the default frigates we...

I just ran into the same infinite investigation loop as well - 1.0.5.6 on a clean install. I found two ships in the system, sucessfully investigated the first ship, then got the infinite loop on the second ship.

<t> OK Erik and everyone else, thanks for the answers. So I should just crash research the tech that I really want and let the rest of the techs complete in a more or less irregular manner. I'm always short of money in this game, so I'm not very enthusiastic about having another item that needs mone...

<t> Thanks Spacecadet, those are good points. You're right about the expense of space ports on every colony. I stopped doing it with the version (was it 1.0.4.5?) that made the economies harder; but then I got back into the habit with 1.0.4.6, and it seemed to work OK with that version. We'll see if...

<t> I'm having major problems with my economy in 1.0.4.9. I'm playing my standard game from 1.0.4.6, but I'm seriously in the red. I've noticed two things in particular:<br/> <br/> 1 - I have 1.2+ million tourists at my resort base, but I'm getting zero revenue from it.<br/> <br/> 2 - I'm getting ze...

Tyranicus, Astax, Shark7, and lordxorn - thanks for your help on this. I just reported it in the tech support section, we'll see what Erik has to say about it.

<r> I've encountereed a problem with technology in 1.0.4.9.

lordxorn - thanks for your help and advise. I think my fundamental issue is that I have three areas of tech that have not moved 1K in three years, while other areas have moved as much as 10K in that same time frame.
