Dolgorukov, I'm not saying these exploits are all powerful or something, I just strongly believe that they run counter to the designers' intentions (if it was otherwise, these features would be accessible in a more obvious way).

Very well then, let's agree to:

1) never use reverse engineering outside the intended scope of the feature: (You may still reverse engineer using captured enemy units);
2) never upgrade supply units (crawlers, trawlers) <--- this kind of sucks, imagine if you want to put some kind of armour+worm defence via upgrading on all those crawlers you produced early on in the game... Can't do it now!

1) never use reverse engineering outside the intended scope of the feature: (You may still reverse engineer using captured enemy units);

I'm confused here. I actually wanted to ban reverse engineering captured units. So what in your opinion is intended and unintended scope? Intended is for captured units, unintended is for reverse engineering probe teams for rovers?

Either way, ok, I can agree.

2) never upgrade supply units (crawlers, trawlers) <--- this kind of sucks, imagine if you want to put some kind of armour+worm defence via upgrading on all those crawlers you produced early on in the game... Can't do it now! 

Well, to be honest I just wanted to ban crawler upgrading for SP instabuild reasons. I guess I could OK upgrading field units, provided we promise we don't exploit this.

BTW, just as an intro:
It is an aquatic world with some very small (but equiped) iselands.
The AI are :
Pirates
Drones
Cult
Data Angels
Every one gets 3 escape pods, 3 gun foils, 1 unity foil, Doctrine Flexibility.
The AI wher very lightly boosted (just one more pod and one more unit)

Me too, aquatic world sounds like an interesting idea. Ready for the turn!

Dolg?

Dolg?

[Kirov]

Dolg, wake up, it's Planetfall already!   

[Dolgorukov]

Its hard to come out of this cryogenic slumber!

So to recap:
reverse engineering captured units and crawler-upgrading are okay, but make sure to take your upgraded crawler for a few laps around the block before donating it to your local Secret Project fundraiser.

Turn will be sent today evening.
