Re: Ship supply use per turn

Given the depth & amount of detail offered by this game overall.. I don't think that a minimum per-turn supply usage would be out of line or otherwise inconsistant.

Re: article on Avault about how a game company can\'t make it on internet only sales

HPS seems to be making it on a mostly internet based model. Matrix Games is trying for the same. I think that this is the way to go for all "niche" type games. You start dealing w/ big publishers &...

IP games ... Grrrr .. #@ & ** !!

First... let me say that I realise that this game is a one man operation & secondly I tend to bull through things a little. Just grab it by the tail & see if it hollars.

A friend & I tried TCP/IP...

Re: Is there a shortage of players for PBW?

I have not tried PBW yet.. but plan to. One question I would have, is can the host lengthen the time for turn turnarounds as the game grows more complex ? Seems from some of the discussion here, that...

Re: New to the game and Overwhelmed. Any hints?

Re: A few more Newbie Questions & some Observations..

Thanks ..Taera, Krsqk, Oleg & Capnq. I think that answers my questions in full. "Turn off the rest of the weapons"... did not even think of it..LOL. My guess is that Multiplex is not very useful in...

Re: A few more Newbie Questions & some Observations..

Well.. say I have Multiplex 3 .. I have 3 sets of weapons on a ship & I have 3 targets at the same range. I choose the first target & let go, all my weapons fire. So I really can't target 3 different...

Re: Formations, Strategies, Etc. -- The ***** List

IMHO .. if the placement of ships within a formation becomes more sophisticated..it should still adhere to some simple principles and variations thereof.

That is, heavies to the front & or...

Re: Formations, Strategies, Etc. -- The ***** List

K... sorry if I got a little esoteric. My points are:

This game is 99.9% pure fantasy.. "unrealistic" is a somewhat laughable description in this context.

Alot of what you are griping about.....

Re: A few more Newbie Questions & some Observations..

Yes .. I agree Oleg. Only so much you can get with an AI. Hopefully tho .. as further iterations of this game & patches come out, some of these AI "problems" can be slowly chipped away. I think, for...

A few more Newbie Questions & some Observations..

Multiplex Tracking seems to work only when I have 2 or more different targets at varying ranges.. starting with the further & working back to the closer one(s). Am I doing something wrong here ?

Re: New to the game and Overwhelmed. Any hints?
