Re: How to measure ship upkeep to allow for chaff strategy
Freeorion does not have upkeep, only a weird kludge production multiplier thing. Make actual currency and upkeep mechanics (possibly with supply storage), and scaling the likes of which you are talking about could work.

Re: Multiplayer community looking for more players
> does stealth as combat tactics work against human players sometimes? Absolutely, it's a race between stealth and detection. We're using a custom stealth patch with enlarged beacon radius and more accessible distortion modulator, otherwise it's a nightmare. AI is clueless about stealth carriers so ...

Re: Nerfing Trith/Xenophobics
Consensus is with proper xenophobic mechanics trith are too weak to compete. Could use a small bonus I guess, maybe +25% population

Re: Monsters too strong
Also, probabilistic growth is too uneven: maybe spawn them with max form and cut its stats (not sure if you can make shield slowly grow)

Monsters too strong
Currently, monster nest is very early accessible and randomly placed amazing boon. It (at least jaggernauts and krakens) produces for free 1000 HP monstrocities which simply cannot be countered until quite late in the game. Not sure how to nerf them without making them worthless: maybe cut max HP to...

Re: Multiplayer community looking for more players
the forthcoming encounter vs Voker57 playing as Sly (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i7TPqALg0Nu4HPqQKWSzZd5ebd9HVxpat7tUEYO86qY/edit#gid=0). Interesting... what are the kraken and the radon species :) Kraken is a joke on L29Ah always spawning with ample megafauna nests. Radon are called re...

Re: Nerfing Trith/Xenophobics
Voker57 do you have enough experience with this patch yet to be able to formulate a corresponding colonization strategy? Not a lot of experience, I played one game as Trith and had to choose between Trith and Mu Ursh (goodbye Trith) because my empire was severely punished. Obviously, either concamp...

Nerfing Trith/Xenophobics
Xenophobes (especially Trith) are excellent races currently which are supposed to kept in check by their xenophobicness. However, xenophobis maluses are quite lacking... Let's take average two planets, "xeno" is industry-targeting conquered species' homeworld in otherwise "phobe"-filled sector Xeno ...

Part-based upkeep scripting
We've been using part-based upkeep using this code for long time, and it seems to work ok: https://github.com/Voker57/freeorion/commit/fa43f2dd639827c3c6b52b7701cc5a67e1440eb2 However, in recent version it fails with this rather cryptic error: /opt/freeorion/share/freeorion/default/scripting/ship_hu...

Experimentators are a late-game win button
Sure, the planet has 65k shields, but fires only three times per turn. with a lot of cannon fodder ships, victory over it is a matter of time with 2-3k fleet. Tentative proposal: Bump Experiment Zero's HP to ~10000, give it like 10 death rays and 5 flak cannons? Also, set effects nerfing fighters an...

Re: Xenophobia
Yes, Xenophobia malus appears to be neglible recently. I meant to raise an issue about that. You can live next door to planet full of gysache and suffer minor annoyance.
