I added this to Sesqui's bugzilla entry:

Planned enhancement: make all (or at least most) table limits a run-time directive, either from the command line or the registry.  If they're not there, use the defaults.  This should satisfy everyone, I hope.

It's not certain that this is the cause of the errors that Sesquipedelian and Maeglamour have encountered, but it should make tracking them down easier, I hope...

This should actually be fairly easy to implement.  DaveB even mentioned this in his release notes...

Those of you w/ modern machines can set the table limits as high as your hardware can handle.  The rest of us can use the default limits, or even lower them (with caution).

Please note that this is a planned enhancement; I haven't implemented it yet. I will post when it's ready to go; this will most likely be release 3.3.

(Also, I tweaked the bugzilla UI, so it will be (slightly) easier to use.  Trivial enhancements, really: added the FSSCP logo instead of mozilla's removed some of the many links to mozilla.org which were confusing, and added a menu on the left side.  Please check it out and use it )

Um sorry to ask but,

I am chasing down the enemy in a no objective made mission. they are currently 120000km away engaging friendly forces. I get a damn comm signal from command telling me to return to the battle, after the third time they kill me (Alpha 1 has run into himself). What is this BS? Is this a code thing or can I maually change it...??? Help pls.

why are you 120000km away?
(this is why you're getting killed BTW)

2 Borg cubes drag a starship with them and half the fleet pursues. By the time I finish off the close by targets I end up being alone and the only remaining enemy units are that far away!!!! So do you know the anwser to the problem? What am I far away from? What determines the battle radius limits? Cords 0.0.0 in FRED? How far can I go out to in any direction? Should I make a Sexp that gives you victory if the enemy leaves your limits???

The battlefield is a 60,000 KM cube.

Ok, this has nothing to do with the bug, back on target folks

I like it

This is a v. good approach to the table problem. Its also indicative of the dynamic approach we need with many new features.

P.S. Could someone please take that bloody battlefield limit out? Its a pain if you want to fred a monster battle! (or anything involving big-ass planets)
