Hi,

I am running the game using Windows 10 on a Yoga laptop. I am early in - 30 something planets, and have met 4 races. When I encounter a Terran planet, the game freezes. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?

Yes, I am up to date on the latest patch.

Hi, It is good to hear that things did not change. Yet, still I have a problem. I think the program is not recognizing my right mouse button - I can select a ship, but cannot give it anyplace to go. This is not the way it was before. Note, I have a newer computer, an "upgrade" to Windows 1...

Perhaps I am getting closer.

If it is true that I can influence the movements of ships during battle, how do I? it used to be you could select a ship and then create a course for it to follow using the cursor. This no longer seems to be true.

Thank you.

A follow-up:

Once the battle is started, do I have any direct control over ship movements? Can I, for example try to get those on the wings to come closer?

I am on the attack.

However, I was previously able to move units even when defending.

Hi, I have come back to the game after a bit of an absence. This led to an update which resolved a prior question about display. But, it raised a question about combat. Before, when a battle started, I could first organize my fleet into a formation, and then direct the movements of each ship. Now, I...

Hi,

I just acquired a new machine, and ended up on Windows 10 in the process. I installed Polaris Sector. However, when I try to run it, I get a vastly blown up screen - it lists POLAR across the whole screen, and there is no way for me to navigate to any menus.

What should I do?

Hi, I note that, when I consider, stepping up to a challenge, the side of the challenging player is listed as Side A, or Side B. Understanding the meaning of this requires that I previously knew which side was A or B. That is rather inconvenient. Could the actual playing nation, e.g., Carthage, Pers...

Agreed,

this is a suggestion on a technical support issue. Is there a better place to post these? I have another to float.

Hi, I am in pretty much the same boat as the previous caller. FOG 1 was fine, but there was room for improvement, and FOG U offered some of that, so it seemed like a way to go. I am at the current FOG U production version, and it has flaws that make it unwelcome - the inability to zoom and the stran...

I have been waiting for the Unity update to come through regular Slitherine channels.

Hello Ufnv, This is helpful - as always. However, you have opened the door to a followup question. It is clear there are limits to the facilities on planets. However, it is not so clear which types are in competition for a given slot. You say that if i destroy a factory, that would allow another min...

Dear Ufnv, Yes, it is clear, and understood, that factories take up more space, and now I know they are helpful in production. Imagine two planets: 1) I build organics mines one after another. 2) I build a factory, and then build organics mines, one after another. The two planets are equal in every ...

OK,

More factories improve ship production. This makes sense.

What about production of new mining and other resource extraction facilities? Does having a factory make these get created more quickly? Ditto for farms and research centers?

Hi Ufnv, Now I am confused. You say, to have a good production facility, you must devote an entire planet to factories. But you also say a factory adds nothing to productivity. How does having a dedicated planet provide benefit? Also, why, when I build a ship, does construction time vary widely from...

What are they good for?

Yes, I know that if you have 4, you can build a shipyard. Is there anything else? It would seem reasonable that having these would speed production of ships, and of other facilities. Does it? If so, by how much?

Cancel the issue.

I thought I was on the latest version, but was not. Updating allows the scenario to go forward.

Hi, I just started with P&S campaigns. Also, just received a response to a Lepanto challenge. However, On trying to start the game I get an error message: "Script error in //////lepanto.bsf": Faileld to find variable ISTileEdgeReallyDefendibleObstacle: Did you forget to predefine it?&q...

Great.

Then I will upgrade as soon as I finish a couple of ongoing games.
