Re: My new SE:IV Website!

Nice site...once I got through the ads. But man do I dislike geocities.

Computer Virus & Allegiance Subverter

I have the regular Version of SE4 (Version 1.49, not SE4 Gold).

About damaging components

Lets say a ship takes 100 points of damage from a SINGLE hit. The game decides that the ECM III (10 damage resistance) is hit, naturally the ECM III is destroyed, but what happens to the other 90...

Dreadnoughts vs Baseships

On a lot of Posts I have read here most people seem to use Dreadnoughts instead of Baseships. Baseships are slower and are 40% easier to hit, but you get a whopping 50% additional space than...

Mothballed units

Can a mothballed starbase at a warp point, or a mothballed ship in orbit be attacked? If so, are their weapons active or are they just sitting ducks? To me a mothballed ship is sitting in a hangar...

Re: Can you \"use up\" a Security Station?

Thanks for the replies. The odd part about all this is that this "all or nothing rules" only applies to ATTACKING boarding parties.

Re: Supply ...Can`t Get There from Here

I think the problem is the Warp Opener ship. They are insanely expensive to maintenance because the Warp Opening component costs a ton. I always mothball it at a shipyard immediately after its use.

Tractor/Repulser Beam

Do you folks use those things? During ship design I have mostly just stared at them, can't really think of a practical use for the beams. Their range (4 I think) seems to be a tad short. Do you...

A poll on three components

Do you ever use :

1. Auxiliary Control. Not sure what is the point to this thing as it has the same cost of another Bridge component so you can just as easily use two Bridges instead.
