Re: Rated Challenges Thread
 

Thanks for the info, Geo. I did specific starting points for the game because that seemed a sure way to get it done correctly. When I saw the "common" starting point, I was worried that might have something to do with putting people in the same system http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif .

So, I actually have to save the map, close it, and open it again to see the yellow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif (what a way to do business!)

Keep in mind you won't see the system you are currently looking at as yellow. The system you have selected shows up as two red circles. If you set a starting point in a system and then click on another system, the one you jsut left will now be yellow.

BTW, I forgot to send you a message in our "MISSILE" game. It should have said OUCH http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Another surprise was staying in first place after losing 30 or so ships.

Damn it's hard to kill a planet with missles only. I had those ships set to point blank range even and I couldn't get anything through.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, it definetly does turn yellow. The only thing I can think is that you just missed it somehow. Or you didn't actually set a start point. When you set the start point you saw a yellow square in the sector you set it? And the square has eitehr a number or any in it?

That's a default SE4 option.

Geoschmo </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, I figured it out...

I was clicking on a system (on the right) and then setting a start point with the button. I assumed it set THAT system for a starting point. Now I see that you need to click on a spot in the system map (upper left) to actually pinpoint a specific location IN the system for the starting point.

So, having figured that out...I apologize for any maps I didn't do correctly... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
