The Typo Topic

Okay.... BIG contradiction here!

According to the Dynamic string file a veteran Descent is supposed to take 2 slots... in the cap file it is 3 slots!
WHICH ONE IS IT?

I believe it does say three slots in the dynamic strings list...

I was going through the dynamic file itself... look!

"AUTOTOOLTIP-fed_warpin_special.odf", "
    ÅRequest to relocate a experimental
    ÆDescent Class vessel into your sector.
    ÆThe Descent is a powerfull command
    Ævessel with experimental shield
    Ætechnology
    ÅOnce the Descent reaches an officer
    Ærank it will only use two warp-in
    Æslots, allowing additional warp-in
    Ærequests

Hm, so I see: never bothered to look in that one, but I believe it is intended to use three total warp in slots.

fixed as it only takes up two slots, or fixed that it now SAYS three slots?

I'm betting "now SAYS three slots"

Though one thing that drives me crazy is the fact when someone has 3 Descents! I mean, look, if you had 2 ranked up descents you can get a third! And usually there is nothing stopping you once you have 3 of them! Lower the max cap to 9! This way you can't have more than 2 descents!

Pretty hard to get 2 ranked up Descents in all honesty... with an offense of 35, you really have to have them in the thick of it.

On an unrelated note, two days ago I got 6 Galaxies by the end of a relatively short game ... and two veteran Steamrunners

Well, that is nice.... see if you can beat my score....

1vs3
Player: Federation
AI: Borg (AI HARD), Dominion (AI Hard), Romulan (AI medium)

Warp-in support count at the end of the game...

8 Galaxies (7 ranked up to 5 or higher, 1 unranked)
4 Nebulas (all ranked up to 5 or higher)
7 Excelsiors (5 ranked up to 5 or higher, 2 unranked)
2 Descents (both rank 5)
3 Ambassadors (2 ranked up to 5, one ranked up to 4)

3 descents are alright, but hardly a undefeatable force.

If I play Fed in Instant Action, I usually end with my six Veteran Steamrunners, a minimum of eight 2-goldbar Galaxies and some 2-goldbar Excelsiors and Ambassadors. Nebulas get decommisioned as soon as I lay my eyes on them. If I feel I have too many Ambassadors and/or Excelsiors, they usually end decommisioned too.

I never call Descents (in Instant Action), but once playing as Dominion, I used almost 80 Warpin slots. I captured (from two AI Fed players) 16+ Descents and assorted amounts of other Warpin ships, but couldn't get my hands on a single Steamrunner, they are too fragile.

Oh, yes, the ship tooltip states correctly that the Veteran Descent takes three slots, but the Warpin facility said it took two. I didn't notice, as I think I never hovered over the building long enough for the tooltip to appear.

Fixed the first one

For the second one:
