:: Strolls in, slowly pours my own Stout. ::
Notes: Chardon's Last post was #911 and reguarded two "rescue" workers. Hmm, I love a good coincedence.

Anybody here know how to give a "strategy" to a ship I successfuly "crew insurrected". They finaly saw they were going to lose and mutined. Craven dogs, (Toltayan).
If I don't give it a strategy it will glass a planet that it is sitting over. I have "fleeted" it with itself and give the fleet a strategy. Will that be enough?

2nd quesiton:
A different Toltayan DN whoes craven crew mutenied was in a fight with a a loyal Toltayan DN.
The Craven ship had 3 drones
The Loyal ship had lots of Plama Missle V's.
Combat Replay:
None of the Craven's drones hit in the combat replay.
The Crave was hit by at least 15 PMs
The Loyal ship took 50 percent damage. They fought again same results.
This took place at a warp point.

I have saved the files

Any ideas folks?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

If the strategy that you have given the fleet is not set to "break formation", then that will work. Otherwise, the ship will use whatever strategy it is set to use by default.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

It is not every cantina that has an on duty and on call Para-Medic. Thank you Mephisto for securing the healing apparatus to adjust the Notorious Gryphin's (pizza swiper) injuries. In fact it would be appripriate for you, after applying the numerous bandaids and ointment, to obtain a poloroid photo and post it here on the cantina's "Infamous Rogues Gallery" for public viewing. (You know the one over the bar)

Terran C, Calzones are just mini pizzas rolled over on their sides.....but they are delicious if made right....

In additon, I have research a number of Military tactic books and manuals and civil litigation records, and nowhere does it list a "Rose Bush" as a weapon. It is only a form of nature and thus can not be constituted as any type of weapon. (this just teachs one to look before you leap)

In regards to any lawsuits, Mephisto, who is an attorney in waiting, is unable to pursue any claims as he has not completed his schooling, and besides, since he is the cantina's paramedic it could be a possible conflict of interest.
However, I shall endeavor to discuss this with the Growltigga upon his return from his Asian escapde and I'm sure he would more then be willing to represent me on a pro bono case once he learns of the dastardly deed commited upon my most humble person by the suspect Gryphin.

Taz, I'm glad you are enjoying the wonders of the cantina, drink up, the tabs still on the Tigga, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hey, has anyone seen the Saxon?? Since he told us he was embarking upon a date, he has mysteriously been awful silent, hmmmmmm,,, Gryphin, did you send him the theories on the CTW or TGP???? I wonder if he is in recovery from his experience.. I hope he didn't try to discuss the different combat attitudes of the Phong or EEE with his young fillie....

Medicaly speaking,
The best way to avoid a hangover is abstenance.

The second best way is to drink as much water as you do beer.

The best cure for a hangover is water and aspiren.

Reasoning: The hangover is more due to dehydration than alcahol poinsoning.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Friday afternoon, before the date, Saxon is sorting out where to go to dinner. As the lady in question is Luo, a tribe from near Lake Victoria known for eating fish, he thinks of a nice sushi restaurant. He then goes to the young woman, “Do you like fish?” She replies in the affirmative. He then says, “Why don’t we go to this nice restaurant I know that serves fish, you can eat as much fish as you like.” She replies that this is delightful.

They arrive at said restaurant and she declares that she is a vegetarian. He politely asks if that means she does not eat fish. She affirms that she does not eat fish or any kind of meat. He shakes his head. He follows Gryphin’s advice on being charming, though finding that there are more and more issues suggesting that she is not as delightful as one had hoped. He drops her off and resolves that he will not be calling her again.

Gryphin’s advice worked and Saxon received eleven phone calls on Saturday and Sunday. He did not answer the phone calls. He will read Mac’s advice and answer the next call. The EEE will save the day as their battle tactics are discussed at length.

Bartender! A jug of beer every fifteen minutes until closing. Yes, Tigga’s tab.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

From the looks of things, it is a very quiet day here on the forum... hmmm I wonder if they all imbribed upon themselves of the Tiggas goodness and drank to all their hearts content here at the cantina over the weekend on his tab?? Oh well, he can always work it off doing dishes or trimming the rose bushes...

Saxon, sorry to hear your experience with the Sushi Fillie. 11 phone calls???? I must have a talk with Gryphin, apparently he has found something that we may be able to bottle and sell. We could make a fortune.

Mephisto, tks for the photo of the Notorious Grypnin, It does look like he enjoyed himself withhin the Rose Bush. It'll hang here in the Rogues Gallery over the bar for everyone to see. Hopefully it'll also make others stop and think before they formulate plans to swipe one's pizza and spilling one's brewskis. In regards to the suit, I appreciate your taking your paramedic vows seriously here at the cantina and not using you legal expertise to file friviless, uncalled for suits on behalf of some notorious, deranged, scrupuless entitiy that permeats swiping another's pizza and spilling his ice, cold brewski. I shall pass this whole incident along to the Tigga upon his return as I'm sure he'll enlighten us with some meaningful guidence and abstract concerns over the vile deed in question. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Tesco, and Gryphin, I shall try your recommended suggestions in regards to hangover dismissal. I'm trying to remember what we used when I was in the service to shake off the after affects after a night of liberation. It's been awhile, hmmmm

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Saxon. I would have mentioned to her duing one of the 11 calls that i was not interested.

Unless of course you want to go out for some Cous-Cous ( I like that )

I was a veggie for 5 years... but i missed fish...(Tuna)

Still ate Lobster , mussels etc... ( Veggies seem to think insects are mammals ....)

Anyone here had any EMU ?? or Ostrich ??

On a serious side.

My friend slapshot cannot play in the upcoming bash game... Terrible ... his house burned down on the weekend ( Those in TO will know what I am talking about).

I have not talked to him yet but i know that his family is safe.

They lost everything.

So if you don't see me around for a few days it because i am busy...

Tesco. tried to upload my empire on PBW site, it said "not a player or can't upload now", is site down again or what.. want to make sure its not something I'm doing, you know me and these infernal machines.... let me know tks

Also I do have several SE4 questions..
1. in the player set up - under general details,
you have the design name files list, just exaxtly what do these do and what are they for???
2. same area. You have set minister style, aggressive, neutral or defensive. In regards to the ai, what exactly is the difference if you pick one of these or just leave blank, is there any difference in the play, If you set the ai to bloodthirsty or one of the others, do these also have an effect on the ai player, what happens in same circumstance if you pick say bloodthristy but do not pick a minister style??

Now I'm really confused, I just went back to the PBW site and it shows I'm ready for turn, so did my empire go thru or not?????

just some ideas mac

[ June 04, 2002, 04:23: Message edited by: mac5732 ]

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

1. That is the list of ship names that you can use when designing ships.

2. Yes, there is a difference in the Minister Styles. However, it is best to disable the AI (via the button in the Ministers tab of the Empire Options window in the game). If you really want to know, the behaviors make the AI act as they sound.

Also, the Demeanors in the Description tab do not do anything in the game. They are merely an indication of how the player will act or how the AI for the race is designed to act. There are no hard-coded functions associated with them.

Happiness Type makes a huge difference on what makes your people happy. Always select Peaceful. With Bloodthirsty, your people get angry when you colonize planets, and when you make most treaties. Neutral is always a bad idea. Whatever you do, your people get angry.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Fyron, tks, still little confused on the ship name thing, when you open up the window, it shows stuff like brazil.txt, etc, what happens if you clik on them? If i clik on them that means it gives special names.., still slightly confused, its the age thing you know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

In regards to the ministers,
also, so the best thing when setting up an ai player is not to set one of these 3 options, just leave alone, or go ahead and pick one, I know about not using them for my race

learning mac (but its a slow process)

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

It doesn't do anything until you start the game and go to the ship design window. There, in the names field, there is a downwards pointing arrow. Clicking on it will bring up a scrolling list of names that you can select for the ship. The names in this list are determined by which file that you selected when you created your empire. If you want to look at the design names files beforehand, (warning, technical mumbo-jumbo coming up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) they are located in the Dsgnname folder located in the folder where you installed SE4. Each text (.txt) file in there is one of the name Groups that you can select to use in the game. You can put more files in there (and even make one of your own), and they will be available when you create an empire. It does not matter if other people in the game have the names file that you use, because it is only accessed when you go to design a ship.
