Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports

Ok, I've played a tiny bit with SEV so far, and the game itself seems fine on the surface, but I *really* have issues with some of the GUI workings that are just plain annoying! (I'll limit this post...

Scanning technologies

In a game I'm now playing (Space Empires IV), I'm really coming up against cloaked vessels for the first time, and am not sure how to counter.

Are there differences in the different types of...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I like this idea! Satellites "orbit" the planet slowly during combat - maybe one 'square' every combat turn or two. Add to this the request that not all satellites be stacked on a single point -...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Typically, I'm against using mods because I'm against the idea of modifying my installation in some way that would make it harder for me to play in non-modded games, or games using other mods. My...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I agree. When I first really started getting into the game, I played probably 10-20 different short one-player games so that in each game I could test one aspect of the game (what are WP's? How do...

Does continued mining reduce%-ages?

Simple question. Let's say my planet is 100% mineral resources. If I build a lot of mineral extractors on the planet, does the mineral 'value' of the planet get reduced? Or does it always stay at...

Missing turns in PBW

I've noticed in one of the PBW games I'm playing that one player hasn't submitted his turn for the Last 8 turns or so. My question is simple: In such a game (simultaneous turns), what happens...

Re: What new abilities would you like to see?

I'm not sure if there is any capability of this kind in the game or not, but if not, I'd like some sort of scanner or ability of some kind to scan and view the cargo and/or facilities on a planet. ...

Re: Be Very Jealous of Me!

For me, the best way to learn was two things:

- When all I had was the demo, I played whatever I could in the demo many many times to learn different aspects of the game. First, I'd play through...

Re: Attacking/Bombing Planets

The problem in this case is that there are lots of mines. Any solo ship gets fried before I get a chance to even look at the system. I suppose I could send in ALL my sweepers and have them steer...

Partnerships & shared ship designs

I just entered in a Partnership treaty with an Ally a few turns ago, so I got to see all his ship designs, and all the enemy designs he's seen. However, now, a few turns later, my ally has several...

Re: How do mines work

To come up with an explanation of the mines - and the "they don't hit shields" rule - I think of the personal shields in Dune - in that they only stop fast-moving targets from passing. A mine could...
