Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

Hi,

Credits function as a restriction on ships and special stations - this feature is nice and helps elimitate the flagship overkill of armada2. However, when we try to set it off in the options menu especially for instant actio solo games when playing against the AI, it prevents the creation of any ships.
In effect switching off the credits option in advanced settings, does not remove the restriction on ship building instead completely inhibits it.
Is this how it is supposed to work? or am I missing something?

Yep, thats how its supposed to be :) without credits certain "super techs" are unavailable to the players. we do recommend the default credit stock, cause that is what Fleet Operations was balanced for.
