Re: Race characteristics - what\'s hot... what\'s not

I am currently experimenting with the "highly religious" thingy, and am surprised that no one has mentioned it. You get some really powerful facilities, most of which exert their effects system-wide....

Re: Traitor

In many ways, SE4 is the game I hoped MOO2 would be, but MOO2 itself was a seriously flawed game. I got so frustrated I kept a tally for several games and discovered that the player was about three...

Re: Diplomatic proposal...what to answer ?

I'm still working out how to use diplomacy well, but I have learned a few things.

Like many strategy games, in SE4 it only really makes sense to trade with empires that are much smaller than you...

Re: Realism (of a sort)

A ring or sphereworld would indeed be massive, but don't forget that it would also be a dispersed mass. The gravity well would reach far out into the solar system, but would be rather weak at any...

More newbie stuff

How do the Cue Cappa get level 5 telekinetic thingies so fast? At a point in the game when my best weapon does about 50pts. of damage, the CCs can hit me with a top-of-the-tech-tree 210pt. weapon. I...

Re: Green Stars!

Just a note from the nitpicking department:

There are no green stars because an object whose blackbody peak is in the green produces equal amounts of energy on both ends of the visible spectrum,...

Re: Realism (of a sort)

The two I've built both had Ratings of 150% in all three areas, so there must be something that sets these values rather than assigning them randomly like other planets. Maybe it's not in the files?

Realism (of a sort)

It seems to me that when you make a ringworld or sphereworld it should not have any mineral resources. After all, you built it, right? Why would you bury minerals just so you could mine them again?...

Re: More newbie stuff

I am now merrily making and removing warp points. And I built a special ship with which I am having all sorts of evil fun. It's got a warp creator, a warp remover, a cloak, and a repair bay. It...

Re: More newbie stuff

I always research stel. man. because it has some handy techs. Do I need to go higher before I get some nifty gizmo, or am I missing something? Right now the problem seems to be that there's nowhere...

More newbie stuff

I'm playing in a large, cluster map, but once I explored my little corner I discovered that there are no jump points to the rest of the map. Can this be true? Am I marooned, or is there some...

Re: So Much to do, it makes my brain Hurt

I tried that trick of using another race to colonize other atmosphere types, but the little buggers kept rebelling on me. Was it that race's disposition that was the problem, or do you have to watch...

Re: Adandon planet option

I took over some planets inhabited by another race, but they were "angry" all the time and kept rebelling. The abandon button allows you to address this problem by dumping the inhabitants while...

Newbie seeks info

I see that enlarging shipboard weapon mounts increases the damage they can do, but I don't see how to build larger weapons mounts. Any hints?

If I want to slow the AI factions down while I learn...
