Laugh!

Just waiting until you have enough ships before sending them into battle?

Does each ship have a unique name?

Is stellar manipulation unavailable in that game?

After such a battle, do all non-Emotionless participants experience empire-wide unrest?

Yes.

My 2000+ ship yard bases do (so I know where they are).

Maybe. This particular battle was 4500 vs. 1, so no riots. I'm hoping 150 troops per planet plus temporal vacation centers will keep everyone happy.

When you warp into a sector with that many ships, don't you just wish you had the capability of warping back out! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
On the bright side, at least you have a little piece of intel. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Damn Spoo, don't you just hate naming all those base space yards? Is there any faster way of doing it than entering each one separately as it is constructed and re-naming it by hand? If there is, please tell me, since I'm still constructing mine...

Try naming the designs with the planet name before you put them in the queue. You end up with a lot of designs that are all the same just with different design names, but you don't have to rename the bases once they are built.

I thought about doing it this way about half way through, but decided to just keep doing it the long way. It really wasn't all that bad. Just a few minutes each turn.

Notice the overlap.


That's madness. Utter frickin madness. I hope I NEVER play a game where I have to even think about having that many ships. Gawd.
