>From an e-mail from Tim:

There is new fighter combat code in the VCR
Robots get free fighters
Solorian population growth has been adjusted downward
COM ships have better growth rates on their ships
Feds make more money using Argovators for farming

>From my testing:
1 free Fighter per 5000 robot colonists built.
Gemini has 5%, Sagittarius has 6% growth.
Argovators output is 1 Food and 10 MC, still tied to farms.
Haven't checked Solorian yet.

And then there is also this from Meteoro:
"Wing has hyper jumped using the Golem hyper space network."
Which would be most interesting to know what that is supposed to be /
do.

Interesting also see how many current games will just die when robots
are suddenly behind their enemies

And like everyone else, I think this is modified by happiness.

If Solarians benifit from Growth exotics, this entire calculation
probably takes place before that is added as well.

It might be a good idea for Solarian base logs to state the current
growth rate of that base.

Or how to use it, period.

Chunnel-ish, but fighter only?

Hmm, well I hope Tim will add in higher temp stars to compensate
otherwise the solarians may get hosed a little. Typical in a game (I
could be wrong) there are no 100 temp stars or even over 80 are very
rare. Just my opinion, and yes I have played them in some games (so
may be a little biased). Adjusting the growth is fine but please don't
hose them. Also, the robots are strong enough why extra fighters?
That is all.


Thanks,
Take care,

On the tempeartures, both myself and Griffin were aware that there was
no temperature 100 stars.
(Max reported being aware of being 98)

But in addition, Griffin wanted the max obsevered growth rate to be
about equal to the Scavs, which is also somewhat less than 200.

But it made the maths easier deriving a growth formula to scale to 200
growth rate at star heat 100.
