Some issues for 1.5 and 1.6

Published on Saturday, June 10, 2023 By Strategos909 In Galactic Civilizations IV

A couple of minor issues that have arisen in the latest 1.55 and 1.6 versions of the game:

1.   You can freely reassign leaders as Ministers (which is great) but not Governors (why?), if I want to take an existing Governor of a small(ish) world and 'promote' them to my newly founded fantastic world which has better stats, then I have to take the hit on loyalty that comes from sacking them from their current Governorship. Would be nice if it worked the same way as Ministers in that moving them between planets didn't incur the loyalty penalty. Could be based on perceived value of planets e.g. highlight planets seen as a flat move (which wouldn't incur a loyalty penalty), those seen as a promotion (which could include a small loyalty increase) and those seen as a demotion (that would incur a loyalty penalty).

2.   Trying to change military Commanders is likewise a real pain as all the ship reverts to being a level zero ship. All experience of the crew and all the extra components you have added are all removed. This should work similar to point 1 above. e.g. moving that Commander from your initial Frigate to that new Cruiser should (maybe) give a small loyalty bonus to the Commander but should definitely leave the ship untouched for its next Commander - especially if it is all being done at the same time.

3.    Military Starbases no longer show which planets are being covered by their area of effect. Economic ones still do. A minor point but irritating when the Drengin sneak in and nab a colony you thought was covered.

4.      You can no longer modify freighters and non-combat ships without having to add weapons. e.g. If you just want to add engines to make them go faster. You get an error saying that at least one weapon must be added before saving. Adding a weapon works but is additional cost. You can however, design a new one from scratch, so a minor irritant only.

5.      I think this is reported elsewhere but the Terran tech tree seems broken and you can no longer progress beyond Cruisers in 1.6 version.

Thanks for the ongoing Development, looking to be a great game and hope these help.
