Yeah, I think trade is broken. Crap, don't know why either, cause it used to work great, and I haven't changed it in a long time. Same thing with taxes not affecting production -- that used to work too. You could go back and forth between the budget and info panels, any change in tax rate changed the amount of produced goods. These might be related as well. Fleets that are free trading also seem to be not picking destinations very well, they should be making a greater variety of routes.
I've finished the Planetary Assault changes, I think they're pretty good, I might need to adjust the constants some, but I'll wait for feedback from players before I do.
I really do want to have an awesome game in every way possible, working desperately to fix this stuff, promise.
