<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">He's right. Once it's used she gone. I don't know about a spaceyard though.

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

Does it require a Planet-bound SY or can the SpaceYard be on a ship?

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

It requires a planet-based spaceyard, I believe...

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

AFAIK, Spaceyard component is also able to repair Emergency Propulion. At least it works on my EP+SY equiped stellar manipulators.

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

It works for me too. The spaceyard component fixes those emergency propulsion components.

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

quite unfair IMO, does it also fix emergency resupply?? that would truly be an exploit.

Another offtopic thing: engines use 10 supply per movement, so 6 ion engines use 360 supply. Does bonus also need supply, like solair sail 3 on top of 6 ione engines would use 9x60= 540 supply???

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

No, bonus doesn't need supply. And the spaceyard thing is hardly an exploit.

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

I dunno, sounds kind of exploitish to me. Getting 5 extra movement every turn out of a 10k component, but only if you are willing to do all that micromanagement.

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

No, you're getting 5 extra movement out of a 10kt component AND a 400kt shipyard. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Sure, you can repair more than one, but a shipyard can only repair so many, especially if you've dropped your repair characteristic. Then you need more space yard ships. Which means you need at least BCs, because a Cruiser isn't going to have enough space for the shipyard, engine, and pod.

Re: Warp Point Opening - how to measure distance?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Correct. Every space moved costs 10 supply / engine, regardless if standard movement, bonus movement, or solar sail movement. If you are out of supplies the ship will move only 1 space, even with solar sails.
