I've managed to get all the function info into XML. Next time i'm in the lobby i'll give you a link. I need to write the actual program that'll read the XML and display it all nice and neatly.

Few questions:
Fighters:
- Are they effected by enhancements.
- If so, what enhancements are they effected by.
- Do they count the same as missle, as cannons, or do they have their own group?
Engineering:
- I have an enh with 80% faster build drones. When I make a platform, it takes only a few seconds. However, if I try to build a building on a planet that has the same time requirement as the platform, it takes longer. Why is that?
Can't think of the other things I wanted to ask at the moment... so that will be it for now. lol

In the wiki, sabot rocket is classified as missle. Missle's supposed to be destroyable, but sabot rocket is clearly torpedo alternative. Is it a mistake?

not really mistake, SABOT used to be a replacement for AR and IT missiles.
SABOT got reintroduced as a torpedo Variant now, so Wiki just needs an update
SAbOT missiels sucked anyway XD

My transport had 10 inf. After I had unloaded all of them at the same time on Longhead, the server commented only 6 infantry successfully landed on the target.
My question is: what is the maximum number of infantry that a ship can hold at one time?
And: are we only capable of sending the same number of infantry as the target's cargo can hold?

besides using a wh to escape is pointless since your enemy can follow you through. your best bet would still be to have cords set based on which way your facing ( easiest with icc stations due to there nose) and jump out 100+k

station max jump range is around 100K, so 100K+ gonna be difficult. emergency wh has some usage if enemy is missle firing at you from range and all u need is 20 sec to recharge, but not usefull enough to implement as a feature i think

Yes. That is correct. If you try to land 10 infantry onto an assault dread all at once for instance, only 4 of those will actually count.

question : can corvettes and plats cap planets in 1.7?
seems stupid that a immobile platform and the games smallest ship can cap planets
