Re: A question about setting up designs. DevNullMod.

Lee while you are at it, I noticed something odd during a solo Devnull Mod game. I have Contra Terr-Whatever-the-Hell engines (level 4) and just discovered fighters, yet I only have ion engines...

Re: Apologies if this has been raised before but.......

Well, still, you all should try to have your sentry ships hit port sometimes. Your sailors/spacers will appreiate the chance to get smashed and chase tail for a few days. Hard to model that in a...

Re: Sneak Attack, (an idea based upon Pearl Harbor)

Sorry Noble, I wasn't trying to say you were wrong below, just that the disparity was even more. I didn't mean to say that they didn't have any superstructure, just that is is way scaled back. I...

Re: Sneak Attack, (an idea based upon Pearl Harbor)

"2) Like the US ships in the Pearl Harbor attack, what seems like ALL of the Japanese carriers were in fact American supercarriers! Almost all WW2 carriers have long and fairly narrow rectangular...

Re: DOUBLE STANDARD!

I don't think Richard will lock you out. For what it is worth Possum, I think the graphics look more like playing a video game after having your eyes dialated. Instead of looking like units of men,...

Re: Devnullmod

Re: Do Small DUCs suck?

I used them on some fighters and they worked, although the defensive/offensive bonus stacking bug caused the engagements to have some qwerky differences.

A large group of fighters seems to be able...

Re: Devnullmod

One idea would be to give each race starting armor, kind ok like what you did w/ PD. I think the largest issue w/ the AI and PD is that they are trying to use the mini mounts as armor. Add another...

I got it both times, but the first time it wasn't complete. It was flaky alright, but all is cool now.

Re: Pods

I noticed that playetesting devnull mod 1.3. The terrans I am fighting are using mini-PD mounts as armor. Doesn't stop my heavy DUC V's very well though.

Re: PBEM DevnullMod 1.3

Why Lee, I thought you'd never ask, blush, blush.

Re: Pods

I really like the added design control of SE III as well. You had a lot more control over how your ship took damage and the system also limited how much armor was practical to use which I liked...

Re: Devnullmod

I have really enjoyed playtesting devnullmod over the Last two weeks but agree that TDM and devnullmod should not be lumped together. I do feel strongly that devnull mod should be made compatable...

Re: Sex and Space empires

Re: Point Defense Cannons

They will fire at the first target that enters their range and shoot until its dead. If there are any mounts left, then they will shoot at the next target that come into range. If you have unfired...
