Umhal

Will the AI cleverly research 'added' technologies? Or will they just go with their own scripted list?

Sorry, was completely knocked out in a fever *grins*. I only did a few runs, but these are the numbers: Bonus - Medium ship size - Engine size - Nr of engines. No bonus - 38 - 6 - 6,3 100% - 76 - 8 - 9,5 500% - 228 - 16 - 14,3 1000% - 418 - 25 - 16,7 5000% - 1938 - 101 - 19,2 10000% - 3838 - 196 - 19,6 So it seems that efficiency wears off around 3 times the available space.</P

Actually played around with miniturization the other day and found the following: It's indeed a percentage modifier. It's however not linear. A +100% miniturization bonus doesn't give you twice the number of modules on it. It gives you twice the space, yes, but the modules also become larger with higher miniturization bonuses. You can fit more and more, true, but +100% gives you a 72 point medium starship with an engine that is size 13, a +10000% bonus gives you a ship

I agree with you on the "close the current window" thingie, that doesn't work and it's extremely annoying not to have those quick keys available.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the miniaturization bonus is an integer, not percent.
