Re: Moons ??

Alas, I'm not too confident about doing that either, but I guess...

Re: Moons ??

Thanks. In the Last few hours I've undertaken a crash course in map editing ! There are several things I would like to mention:

1) I added a solar system and noticed that you cannot play from an...

Re: Moons ??

I take your point. It is not a major issue.

How would I go about editing a saved map ??
Forgive my ignorance but I've never tried this before.

Moons ??

I've seen references to planets having moons on this site, but all I've ever encountered are what are described as "Tiny Planets" in the same orbit. Is that what people mean ??

Re: What does the \"Sentry\" order do?

What happens if a ship is on sentry duty in a nebulae system and therefore can't see an enemy ship entering the system ?? Does it still clear it's orders ???

Re: Ground Combat

I was thinking more in terms of altering the:
"Requirements Max Engines" setting in the Vehicles Text file to 8, 9 or 10 for the smaller ships. Has anyone tried this or am I missing the point...

Obscure (?) Questions

Sorry for repeated questions. Maybe I'll be able to make a positive contribution in this forum one day. For the moment, I realise I probably haven't put in enough game hours but time is at a premium....

Movement Point question

According to the manual, both written and Online, if a ship loses it's bridge, life support or crew quarters, it is reduced to one movement point.

Please tell me exactly how you go about importing a downloaded race into the game.
