OK but I'm playing a 2.7 game, which still has fleets with multiple commanders in them. Besides an admiral is very different than a commander. There's no logistical bonus, no speed bonus either. The new rules make admirals inferior to commanders. You guys when you update a game shouldn't break existing games. This is the second time, and I'm about to move on to a different game, and stop wasting my time and money on GalCiv3!

PS. Thank you for your quick reply. I understand why the changes happened. But it broke my game again. I'm too far along to change my strategy now. The whole plan was large fleets with a commander and an admiral. I've several commanders and admiral waiting for fleets that I've been building. Wasted resources, wasted 100s of turns. I'm pissed.

Look I get it. But I had a specific design for my fleets, that won't fit now. Huge/large capital ships, large escorts, medium assault ships, and small interceptors, plus transports and guardians. Now I can still do it, but with a lot less assault destroyers. And I don't have room for the medium guardians either. Not to mention my waiting admirals which are wasted, citizens take a while to get.  

I was upset, because they force these patches on us, whenever they  want. I wanted to finish an epic size game before the rules change. I was on turn 243, and was ready to attack two neighboring enemies, when this happened. A war I was planning for since early in the game.

I like most of the new rules, though I wish they would concentrate on fixing issues like station legion, which gets very tedious when you have 70 planets. Patches if they are automatic should not change existing games. 

Merlex, 

What difficulty are you playing on? 

Yeah that happens a lot.  I have about 1800 hours of playtime, but only actually FINISHED maybe 6 games. Granted most of the ones that I don't finish is because I just get bored with the game; but many games I have also quit because a patch has messed them up in some way.
