Test patch on the way! Turn limit removed, influence & anarchy fixes, and more!

Ooooh can't wait to get this going when I get home from work today!

Keep up the good work Devs -- ES2 is shaping up to be a fantastic addition to the Endless Universe!

Turn limit removed? Excellent. I might actually manage to get truly huge battles now, to get some screenshots and footage regarding that particular can of worms.

Awesome stuff!

Are previous saves compatible or do we have to start a new game to test properly?

Excellent question: Previous saves are indeed compatible.

Is there any word on changes to Force Truce? 

It's the largest source of frustration for some of us (see the game design forum posts).

If it's not on the list, it's not in there. I'll enquire tomorrow when I'm back in the office.

Thanks Frogsquadron!

I figured it wasn't fixed yet, but I appreciate any attention it could get. 

It's _really_ frustrating when you get force truced before you can take back your own planet.

Does removing turn limits means we can keep going after victory has been reached? Can we change victory conditions? The AI reaches score victory within 70 turns its annoying I don't like score victory can't even reach the elimination victory in that short a timespan and definitely can't finish the story quest hell I didn't even get past the 2nd story quest with Vodyani.

no turn limit

Score victory only triggers after the end of the game has been reached, turns-wise. This means you were playing in Fast, where the game lasts 75 turns. You'll be able to carry on after the game now. You can't change victory conditions yet as far as I am aware.

Yu have to be aware that only the first two chapters of each faction quest are implemented, which is why you never progressed past the 2nd chapter with the Vodyani. This will come later down the way­.

What about the repair costs? Have those been adjusted a bit?

Is there an issue with it?  I've so far found that as long as you make sure your economy doesn't tank that it's fairly easy to handle.  You do have to repair them one by one sometimes, and I personally wish that disbanded ships would repair slowly each turn.

Thanks guys, can't wait to try it out!

There is in my opinion, I have to spend 2K Dust at turn 10 to repair a crappy scout ship. That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Ok, after my late session with the beta, here are my first issues:

1) A scan of the system screen has many icons messed up. 

Population type is wrong, Political party is wrong etc...and there is also the weird placeholder "%PopulationPoliticalEventFleetHasinterceptedAnEnemyTitle" that contributes to...nothing.

2) To my understanding, the Vodyani do not use system exploitations. Right? If they do, I could not find them.

3) I was able to invade the planets of an other empire that we were at cold war. Mind you, the Militarists were in power so I did not have the law that allows me to do that.

4) The AI never upgraded its ships. 

5)The AI always uses the smallest type of ships (scouts and attackers).

6) What are the effects of leaching enemy planets? Do they lose population? I could not find a tooltip explaining the rate of the drain. 

7) Invading a planet as the Vodyani, leaves it devoid of life, but the colored borders are still in place and the economy scan in the galaxy map shows the system as if it still belongs to the enemy (dark orange label).

8) I invaded the Kalgeros homeworld and removed them from play, yet when I anchored an Ark in place I saw that I gained the "obedient flock" perk for that system! Is that intentional?

Tried the update out, there seems to be a lot of FPS drops, what do you need to investigate?

No plans to look into current elections system? People unhappy by election results when the party gaining 90% actually wins is pretty illogical.

Hey,

There is an issue with the main menu on resolution 3440x1440(59). The menu options go a bit off the left side of the screen.

Please, add highlighting of appropriate slots in Constructor screen:

1. filter is "All". When I move cursor over a module or drag a module, it will be good to see slots where it can be placed;
2. filter is not "All". Highlighting slots that can be used by current modules type will help, too.

On the image I used additional circle as example (I know you use it for "symmetrical" slots)

By the way, how about following indication for symmetrical slots:

For me "symmetrical" means "from both sides", not "around"  

P.S. How about hiding all icons by pressing Space? I want to see new ship in his best

Please keep feedback to separate, dedicated threads, otherwise things get messy.
