Tech not showing in ship designer

[fnt]

I researched the EM Shield Tech, but the Components does not apear in the ship designer.
See attached save game.

Also the system of Xana was colonised by the Guardians of the Seed although i had an outpost there and we had no open boarder treaty.

Version is 1.00.05 Slitherine

Thanks

Hi fnt. I've just tested your save game. I tried to design a ship and the EM Deflector is showing up in the shields section. Are you sure you are not looking for it on the armour section for example? Core systems each have their own sections, only support modules are aggregated together.

Regarding the Xana system, you have an outpost on planet "Xana II", however it seems the planet "Xana I" was unoccupied when the Guardiands of the Seed colonized it. Even if you own the starsystem, other factions can still colonize unoccupied planets in it. If you do this to the AI, it will piss it off, but I guess the reverse is probably true too

Ok now i'm feeling dumb.
Sorry for wasting your time.

What's the purpose of a Open Borders treaty, when everybody can still do whatever they want in your star systems?

Now i got an unloadable savegame again. See attached savegames.
Before the last savegame i had a strange behavior with a leader levelup.
I could not assign the exp points. The game just upped the bonusses without spending the exp point.
Savegame for turn 51 is loading.

Savegame missing in the last post

Hey fnt. No problem! I am here for you guys, so the game can be better for everybody.
Open borders lets foreign empires use your colonies and outposts as forward bases, as you can use theirs.
The hero exp thing is something I haven't been able to track. Do any of these saves refer to it?

So the only way to prevent them from colonising in "my" systemns is putting an outpost on every colonisable planet.
Maybe the AI should be a little bit more reluctant to spam outposts everywhere. One ouptpost per system and preference for uninhabitable planets/astroids would lessen the problem.

As for the hero exp thing:
It happend right before the turn 70 save. See above.
I made it because of this bug.

Hey fnt. There was a bug with operative heroes, in which they got too much exp for destroying a whole fleet, that is fixed in 06 now. There are also changes so their stats and skill are updated immediately when upgrading them.

Regarding the outposts, I don´t see your problem, well maybe I do, but could it be that it´s you:
It seems to me that you won´t commit that much production to outposts and managing placing outpost early on?
In other games (with Multiplayer) people do the same thing you complain about - they do it
exactly to prevent that anybody else gets some fancy ideas about claiming anything in systems in which the initial player thinks nobody else should have a foot in the door.
and it happens/ happened in real life, too: The whole history of colonization from ancient to modern times states placed their flags everywhere regardless of other peoples opinion.
By changing the AI-script to make it easier by claiming asteroids or gas giant, no that would not be appropriate imo.
