Re: Malfador Games Pirated

Well, I worked at a major software company for 10 years, so I have some opinions on this...

1) Many software companies have gone out of business due to piracy and not just because of lost sales...

Colonizer/Mine bug

Is there any intention to fix the bug in Space Empires (not gold) where you can run a colonizer into a planet with any number of mines and ALL of the mines are destroyed and your colonizer lives? So...

Re: What do you use transport ships for?

Quite right, so why are you building those expensive and slow build colonizers? ...within two years I have 50% more colonies than you. I'm ahead of you in expansion and mineral production....

Re: What do you use transport ships for?

I have to agree, 99% of the people I have played against never realized, or don't use this strategy, but I believe that's a major mistake.

Use transports as colony ships from your HOMEWORLDS. You...

Re: Ship strategies

Ok, so it seems like your ship takes 60% of the damage you can deal and the enemy takes 100% so if you have a 200 dmg warhead thats 200 dmg for them and only 120 for you. That's a pretty good...

Re: Ship strategies

My question with ramming is does your ship take equal damage to the damage you are dealing out?

Re: Ship strategies

I thought you were joking about ramming ships, but I did some tests Last night and it's a rather interesting strategy. Essentially, 3 ramming BC's with about 30 small fighters in support can take...

Re: Bug report - Satellites

Can't you retrofit a cloaked ship? If all this is true, you could essentially build a supply ship lets say with a cloaking device, cloak it, then retrofit the cloaking device off and add more...

Re: Long Range Wepons

I completely disagree, this is not a bug at all. Think of it this way, you create Counter Intelligence facilities and they are blown up, you have no counter intelligence employees to stop anything...

Re: Long Range Wepons

Re: Long Range Wepons

Well, since we're experiencing this and just defeated it, here is what we did.

It's 2 vs 1, the 1 is turtled in a sector with a system shield and has 100 planets outside his shield.

We attacked...

Re: Long Range Wepons

I think intelligence (and it may work this way, I don't know) should allow for a percentage chance to capture any ship within the sector you can't see in when you choose to take any ship. This gives...

Bug in 1.49, is it in Gold?

Re: Defeating the Talisman

Problem is, in a game with 12 players, someone can't remove all their stuff from their ships to just take on a Talismaned fleet. They have to have all the extras to go fight the other races as well....

Re: Defeating the Talisman

Missle ships are pretty worthless against the talisman, once I see that's how you're going I just make extra PDC's and the talisman hits your missles 100% of the time (and missles usually do weak...

Re: Defending Planets

Well, with that fixed, mines are even less useful now because I know that if my sweeper can sweep 100, no minefield can hurt me. Glad to know it's fixed though. Thanks for the info. I haven't had...

Re: Defending Planets

My problem with defending planets is that it's a lot of time/resources/units to sit around and wait to do something. I have some bases in my sector, tons of satellites, mines, etc and in 150 turns...

Re: Defending Planets

Yes, there's a bug, in my opinion. I shouldn't say it, but since it's unfair for some people to know and others not, I'll share it here.

On your homeworld build 99 mines and launch them. Then...

Re: Defending Planets

You don't have huge sweeps? Don't you lose a ton of ships? I always have 5-10 mines above my planets to mess with people with no sweeps and usually quite a few mines on warp points to try to catch...
