This thread reminds me of the time I scrapped all mines on my homeworld, just to see what would happen.

Let's just say I *very quickly* picked up on how mineral caps are calculated...

Hi folks,

My Polaris Sector just updated to 1.06e. Can't find anything here or on Steam, didn't check the Russian forums because, well, I don't speak Russian.

Anyone know where I can find a change list?

Thanks!

Your analysis is spot on. However.. there are a couple counter-points I feel you have overlooked: 1. Hydroponics does give you the ability to turn an otherwise useless planet into a fuel-stop without impacting global food production, which is nice (yes, you can do the same thing with tankers, but th...

Happy GOG owner, reporting in - 1.06d comes down just fine, no hassles.

Sadly my employer did not think this was a good use of company time.

Excellent, thanks for the good news! I can finally put a pin in my calendar.

I really like the idea of different tech trees - gives the game a lot more replayability!

Can't wait for the expansion, thanks for the sneak peeks / previews!

Woot!

You're not the only one.

Thanks Medway! I'm tickled that there is still ongoing development.

The forum has been pretty quiet lately.

Is development still being done? I really enjoy the game as it is and am still figuring out little strategies / tips, but ufnv hinted at more to come.

Indeed, awesome to see tweaking and incremental improvements going on after release.

It is? I bought from Slitherine, ran the updater a few minutes ago and saw "You already have the most recent version of Polaris Sector installed on your system."

Start game -> 1.03c.

Oh well. Maybe tomorrow?

Waiting patiently for non-steam patch to go up. Happy to see continued development and patching, fantastic game!

I would really like to see developers state a list of all rules that the AI does not need to follow. I'm not talking about production/research/money bonuses, because we tend to expect that. I'm talking about whole game systems that AI is sometimes coded to just outright ignore. I understand why a de...

Absolutely not.

That's delightful.

Tankers really are seriously hindered if they cannot extend the range of a fleet. Tankers travelling with a fleet in being should be able to keep those ships flying. You still will in general sacrifice fleet speed for range. Right now I rarely use them Tankers operating with fleets work precisely a...

Do you have a saved game before this colonization? I do, actually. The planet in question belongs to the Vaglars in the SW of the map, called lambda Corona Autralis. A few years from this save I clear out the stations and fighters and bomb it and colonize it, all at once. The save is too big to upl...

Bwahahaha!

I'll add a vote for "just about right" as well. I have 40 planets all on "micromanagement". It isn't a chore at all -- the game allows you to set up build lists and name them. So I have "Domed - Shipyard", "Ocean Farm4", "Domed Hydro 10", etc. Click ...
