Re: Solar Systems with lots of asteriods but no planets

How do you get around the inevitable destruction of your astroid and robo-mined planetary wealth? It seems like in a fairly short number of turns say 100 you'd have wore all your astroids out...

Re: Fighters, mines, and troops

I'll have to remember those races and add them in specifically to my games, as for troops it's no waste for the ai to have some on each planet, stop me from taking them in ground combat so easily! lol

Re: The Rage Collective 1.1

conquered races

It seems to me that conquered races should use more of their own empire stats, minus any cultural baggage, some should breed slowly, while others breed like rabits, some should work faster as...

Fighters, mines, and troops

I'd appreciate it if one of you modders could create us an ai that would do the following:

(1) research construction early on
(2) Use mines as a defensive measure around home world, me and my...

Re: Point Def. too tough against missiles-change it.

For armored, ecm using missiles just create fighters with explosive warheads and a kamakazi tactic, granted you have to build each "Missil" seperately but they do tons of damage.

Re: Remote mining reduces production?

I just sent the following e-mail to MM, if we want it in the next patch, or perhaps even ever other people should probably send similiar notes supporting the idea, along with more suggestions:

Re: Remote mining reduces production?

I think adding in an official "Deep space mining" set would be awesome. If you took all those remote mining components out of their current spot s you could group them together like this:

Re: Am I the only person who thinks the Emotionless racial trait is a bit pricey?

I think it's too pricey but 1000 would be too cheap, the trait is just too useful, with it subject populations never grow unhappy, and your people don't care what you do, you have complete freedom to...

Re: Suggestions for better AI resource management and better Ground combat

Great reasoning and good ideas, I always build storage facilities too, economics is king in space empires, especially as you get more production Online. If the AI started using low-maintanence...

Re: Boarding Parties

You can set your individual ships strategy to "Board enemy ships" then put it in a fleet set to "optimal firing range". If you do that your ship should work right.

It would be nice if they taught the AI how to properly use troops too, and to attack with fleets.

Re: Universal Shipyards down?

Does anyone know when the shipyard may be back on a new server? Perhaps even running independently as a personal web page? It really is one of the major intersections in the SEIV universe.

Re: A pirates life for me...

Re: AI scripting challenge
