Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I would like to see an expanded tactical combat stand alone game for MP. Each game would have a resource limit and participants could design whatever ship or ships they wished with the tech level...

Re: TDM-ModPack 3.40 Beta

I downloaded the 3.40 beta after updating to 1.91, but it does not react to a double click (i.e.nothing to open) It is classified as a shortcut called SE4Gold. Am I missing something here? Have I...

Re: Alien Life

If the universe is infinite and the probability of another planet like earth is very very small but non-zero, then it is absolutely certain that there are other planets like earth. In fact there...

Re: on-line tournament idea

Oleg, I can beat that one any day of the week at no extra cost. I was there once myself. Now if we had this system running, we could face off and let the proof be in the pudding.

Re: on-line tournament idea

Georgig. Maybe. But the golden grail is finding a single design that that can beat any other, if possible. That is a real challenge. I am actually very close to a solution on all tech, all races. But...

on-line tournament idea

The Se4 gold multiplayer option opens up the possibility for an on-line competition that could be quite interesting. The main idea is to create a one-on-one simultaneous combat sudden death...

Re: Next patch requests

Catain Kwok, I agree and for that reason I don't use tactical combat any more. But what I am trying to do here is suggest that Malfador improve AI strategical combat by using some simple moves of the...

Re: Next patch requests

Another move strategy that humans use in tactical combat that the AI could use to advantage but doesn't is the following. This we could call "moving in and out of range". The cleanest example is in...

Re: Next patch requests

If there is just ONE thing Malfador does, this should be it: give the AI some better movement strategies in combat. The following would at least TRIPLE AI effectiveness, especially if the same...

Re: Anybody seen this one?

They seven were all attack ships in "hard flank" formation, which can take up to 21 ships. The renegade was the only battleship. The rest were Battle Cruisers.

Strange case. I ordered a 9 piece fleet to enter a sector with enemy colony ships with specific fleet strategy orders "do not fire on colony ships" in strategic combat mode (because I wanted to...

Re: simulating fleet strategies

Psych Tech Freak, I am surprised to hear you say that few use this feature, especially if what you say is true (how do you know?). How else do people optimize designs? (Maybe they don't). You can, of...

Re: simulating fleet strategies

To Phoenix D:

Can you be more specific? There is no "add a fleet" button. There is a "create fleet" button. Is that what you mean? I tried that without sucess, both using cancel and accepting the...

Re: Defender NOT Going First in v1.49 Strategic Combat

I don't quite understand the problem about who moves first. Certainly it doesn't matter in tactical combat. And in simulations of strategic combat I notice that the distance between the two ships is...

Re: Do the Religious Shrines work?

S-J: Regarding overlap, does that also apply to the case where you have a single planet increase in, say, minerals production, and a system wide increase (say, time shrine or system mineral scanner)?...

Re: why build starships

I should add that I am thinking of PBW here and should have said that. In single player it does make sense to build them because the AI never uses the "don't fire on starbases" option. It almost...

Re: why build starships

I meant starbase,not starship, and it is not cloaked and uses long range weapons. But I do not feel you understand my question. If an incoming ship is programmed to not attack a starbase (and why...

why build starships

I have been simulating starships recently. While they have tremendous power, I cannot see any use for them. They sit idly by while a planet is destroyed, and can only react if attacked. But any ship...

Re: mystified by firing pattern

Mine was a starbase too. Should have been clearer about that. I notice it works for ships and planets all right. Maybe it is a specific bug for starbases.
