A little mystery is a "good" thing. So much is known about the game right now, keeping a little bit of it unknown helps to add to the game strategy and suprise factor.

True, although the mystery could be designed rather than dictated by limitations, past or present.

Whatever u "fixed" in the update u just snt to classic is Broken.

Fig refresh exits u from game now.


No fig refresh might be too much "mystery" laff

Yeah, left a debug line in that crashes when the game runs without a console window. Doh. It's fixed.

Working fine. Game "seems" more perky but could be all in my head until we do timing tests.

No its not changing the game, it would, however, change strategy.

It's a minor detail, really. Most people do not hide figs on
empty ships. It's counter-productive.

Well, increasing the update frequency and counting unmanned ships would take about 2 minutes to change, so if there's enough support (and no strong opposition) to doing that, I'll do it. It's up to you guys.

Frequency update would be great. Counting unmanned ships - really doesn't matter one way or the other.

I always liked the element of strategy and uncertainty involved in not knowing how many fighters your opponents may have stashed away, and also how you could utilize the same tactic against them. Even if it's not the *best* strategy, it is still one people should be free to pursue. If every way was limited to the best way, the game wouldn't be any fun. I know this game draws a technical and analytical crowd, but I enjoy the uncertainty, as it adds a sort of wildcard to the game. When things get too precise, it just starts feeling like a bunch of numbers being thrown at eachother (Yes, I understand that at the root, that's what this game is.), rather than an epic battle for dominance in space.

Update frequency would be nice, but keep the ability to hide fighters.

i hide figs in unlims... especially if the ships have a high fig count. nice to hide a few million figs...

13,996 ports are open for business and have a net worth of 1,183,365,687.
1,033 planets exist in the universe, 87% have Citadels.
86 Traders (79% Good) and 50 Aliens (54% Good) are active in the game.
101,622,480 Fighters and 19,418 Mines are in use throughout the Universe.
24 Corporations are in business.

I guess the word "use" would be the judgement call. Me personally, if they are in the game they should be counted. That's just my 2 cents.

More frequently updated, but keep figs on unmanned ships uncounted.

Thanks JP!

Figs on ships usually don't account for a larger percentage of game fighters unless it's early in a game. Figs on non-updated and rouge planets can drastically cause the fig count to be way off base.
