Re: Q and A
 

1-Moray is an excellent shareware program (about $65 us..depends on its rate vs the German mark), pov-ray goes with it (renderer) plus you'll need a decent graphics program (paint shop pro or something like that by Jasc is pretty good, relatively cheap too).
moray available from: http://www.stmuc.com/moray

pov-ray I got from: www.cnet.downloads.com

2- Include a minesweeper with your fleet/scouts... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Re: Q and A
 

Thanks about the Program
I have had mine sweepers distroyed iwith mines and did not clear any! I just lose the ship

Re: Q and A
 

destroyed minesweeper means ya didn't have enough minesweeper components in the sweeper..make bigger ship with more sweper components...

Re: Q and A
 

Hmmm BC with 5 engines 1 comp 1 cloak reat mine sweeper V think that was enough (about 15 sweepers)

Re: Q and A
 

15 sweepers is good...

until you find a minefield with 16+ mines.

After you lose one minesweeper ship, try sending in two together; if you lose both, try three, etc.

Re: Q and A
 

depends on minefield size...I have run into (rarely) well over 100 mines in a field...

I usually find out the hard way though...fleet go boom....tears....

Re: Q and A

Re: Q and A

Are you saying that if the minesweeper ship dies, then it sweeps ZERO mines???

Re: Q and A
