Hi!
I just noticed there's an inconsistency in SOoE. In ad. 6 it stands fleets also refuel at bases (orbitals). If there's no orbital at the planet at the time of arrival, but it is constructed in ad. 12: "Production", are arriving ships still refuelled. That happens even if the orbital is immediately destroyed in battle when ships arrive. IMO we need a bit of correction in SOoE: "ships refuell at bases" should be moved somewhere between ad. 12 and 16. Maybe the best place would be immediately after production.
The impact of this is quite important - in late game the Dock can be constructed for 20 resources at every planet, and even if it is immediately destroyed, are all ships in orbit still refuelled. A player with ISb can simply not be stranded in enemy's space.
Also there's no mention of where scanning happens. From my experience it happens very late, likely after remote de-terraforming. An additional line "33. Scanners obtain information" would be in place.
BR, Iztok

There have been some discussions of when scanning happens, and IIRC it seemed to happen at several places, not just one ...
|
Scanning also seem to come 'in parts'. eg: the way that if you lose all ships in battle over an inhabited planet (whether or not any ship has a scanner) you now know the planet is colonised but nothing else, but battles occur at Event 17, so by the time scanning should happen you have no ships anymore.
Cheers
S.

Do "fundamental changes" destroy a part-built ship or base? I've never seen it happen, but then I usually avoid leaving ships half-built so I haven't had the chance to find out.
