Does mind control also stop population growth?

@ Nathan: It is a problem when steel gets taken away from planets with huge resource pools and military bases to outlying planets with neither of those things...

@ Adriddae: Nope. MC only stops your society level from rising, it doesn't affect population growth.

Trading needs some sort of control. Ideally you should be able to mark planets unusable for internal trade as well as external trade. Even better if you could designate what resources are tradeable for each planet..

lol screw micromanagement, just make prices more responsive to demand and let the free market do its thing

can you put in some negative feedback with the size of empires like in battlemaster? sending out 20 arcs a turn each from 5 planets is getting painful

[fodder]

well. let's see.

i have on one planet tons of food. because i built a food subsidy a while back which since was scrapped and an oil subsidy built instead.. so now it has  a huge stockpile of food, but doesn't produce any.

i think ships going there are buying up food rather than oil which is desperately needed elsewhere, which is silly as the food would be needed by that planet down the line.

that said, not entirely sure how many fleets are properly trading that route atm, it seems the circular route thing is rather rigid. let's say you have a route of B->A and you built traders in A and then set them onto that route, the ship info will be saying they are going to A, but i think they might be heading to B 1st and not trading there and going back to A... not sure, can't tell.

it would probably be nice to show what the deficit would be rather than 0, though presumably not all that important..

Hmh..Flyingmana has a little fledgling colony right next to my home world and now he's sending a pirate fleet at me. Only 10 cruisers so far, but still have to hope he doesn't get serious about harassing me.

You could try messaging him asking him to back off. He might not want to get into another war since I can presume he's in quite a few already.

Kai, you've got a single Merchantman heading towards Tau Cecilae Minoris from one of my planets. It has 500 hydrocarbon in it. Do you mind redirecting it to my home planet (Alpha Core)? I need 1k hydrocarbon to get a Regional Government, but my Merchantmen refuse to bring any home >.<

Yeah, I sent him a message. We'll see.

On that note, how do the battles work in the game? Is it one fleet at a time or do all the separate fleets at the planet engage at the same time?

surely you don't actually need the resource to be present to start or build? it'll just drain extra money and extra time automatically?

You don't. It's been sat at 90% for a few days now, taking a couple of Quatloos a day. Not sure why it's 90% because without the hydrocarbons it should come to ~95%.

Done!

Or at least attempting to. With a gratifying lack of success.
