These are absolutely constructive arguments and they surely require an in-depth reply, for which I need a little bit more time. Let me get back to you however with one quick point already which is the uranium steel. This was not intended, but was temporarily necessary as we had a round bug in our calculation of uranium needed to return. So some ships were stuck and we wanted them to return - this was why we took that path. I know that this is not the way it should be and it will not happen in the future anymore.

I do not know Planetarion btw, I will try to see if I can information on that somewhere. But I will answer at a later time also with a more in-depth response to your proposal, which I think is exactly the thype of feedback we need.
Best regards,
Tim
