Re: What is possible while Cloaked?

I can confirm that, at least in Balance Mod, if your ship has a Quantum Reactor for supply, it WILL NOT resupply while your cloak is on. Not a point until you end/start the turn de-cloaked.

Re: An old hand with some new questions

Excellent. Thanks, S.J. As of old, I see you're on the case. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

An old hand with some new questions

Hey, all. Been a few years, but it's nice to have a new Space Empires to amaze and confuse me.

Well, parts of it are nice. I'm agreeing with the SE4 vets' line that the potential is there, but...

Re: I need some opinions

Heya. Think it looks good in general, but the death star thing over the planet looks rougher than the rest of it, for me. You've got a shaded, angled background, banner and ships that all look good...

Re: Coding for universal colonizer?

You, sir, are a paragon among enablers. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Thank you very much.

One question, though: Why the family number change? Wouldn't it logically be...

Coding for universal colonizer?

Hey, all. I'm setting out to add a universal colonizer component (you know -- one component can grab any planet type) to my mod. As I started getting my thoughts in line, it occurred to me that it's...

Re: Zero Zero Zero

Actually, this sort of thing happens when you send colony ships out without people aboard. It makes the colony, but nothing else happens. Are your shipyards set to automatically send ships out...

Re: Point Defense question

Ooooh, fantastic idea, Ed! This would be a fun thing to play with.

Re: OT: Roll Call

Thanks Dogscoff, Atrocities. Nice to be back. Looks like folks have been doing a lot of modding work while I've been out -- should be fun to taste the new flavors.

Re: OT: Roll Call

Back after about a year and a half. Picked up Gold to get ready for SEV. Hope to see y'all on PBW after I get my skills back up -- maybe six, seven months or so? That MIGHT be enough. ...

Re: Newbie Question on special tech (Organic, etc.)

Re: New Tactic (to me anyway)

Hear, hear, Martin! Actually, even though it generally works only once or twice against a human opponent, you'll find the benefits extend far longer. Two multi-player games ago, I developed a...

No problem.

Re: Enviromental Resistance

Jubala: Reproduction is a 1/1 basis, unlike Env. Resistance. So, dropping E.R. to 81% and raising Repro. to 109% evens out cost wise, and you end up with +6% reproduction in the bargain (-3% from...

You know, you raise an interesting point in your question -- it WOULD be cool to have an ability that you could assign to a facility to boost your spaceyard output. There isn't one...

Re: construction rate

Those two things -- population and space yard -- are pretty much what you can do during the game. You can set a space yard to emergency production (which doubles its output rate for up to 10 turns),...
