Report - just played 1.04.060

from Stardock Forums
Just finished first game...
(a) I got some crashes in windowed mode (I don't usually)
(b) I pulled off a full rush again Tiny/Maso (never researched beyond phasers!) Lots of fun, and only took an hour fifteen. I won in May 2185. Score 384.
(c) On conquering enemy planets, I inherited their trade routes (ie. from the conquored planet to some other AI planet) - maybe i just hadn't seen before.
(d) Delighted to see attack bonuses flowing from shipyards etc, although they didn;t work quite teh way I expected: My 30% att bonus got me +1 ATT for starfighters and corvettes, and shipyards got me another +1. Nice.
(e) Two example of new lease options:
For a partially built frigate - pretty expected:
. GMC 2184
. TM 1365 + 56/16 (2261)
. UBI 596 +51/40 (2636)
. Mitro 323 + 22/163 (3909)
For a partially built starfighter - more interesting choices:
. GMC 232
. TM 145 + 7/5 (180)
. UBI 108 + 18/18 (432)
. Mitro 79 + 7/52 (443)
(f) On metaverse, game reported as version (1.044000)

c has been around for awhile I believe

I guess you noticed that choice TM for leasing
(specially when partially built) is often cheaper
overall then outright purchase, probably a bug :( but
new leasing system is much better over all.

Nice rush, much faster then I have ever done, but then
again im a scoring whore and know im in for a longer
game anyway, maybe I should try it just to see how
fast I can do it :)

Yeah, I thout (c) had been here for a while, and that (d) got fixed a few versions back... but I really noticed them in this game.
(C because I never built any freighters, and yet had 2 trade routes! after a while - hehe - heck, I never learned univ translator!)
