Re: Disengage Button

Playing Demo ver 1.00

It seems that the game already has a default for ending battle when nothing can be accomplished.

Had a race that gave +1 to movement. Researched Frigate hull size till I...

SEV: Ship\'s crew. Questions.

In the SEV demo 1.0, I'm playing the Terrans from quick start. After taking over an Abbidon planet I had a badly damaged Frigate. After repairing it at the newly captured planet, I noticed that the...

Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports

Aside from re-echoing some the "Access violation" bugs that have been previously mentions, I have a few more "bugs" to add:

1. No ship strategies.
Choose quick start. Able to choose strategies...

Re: OK! Let\'s Shut This Place Down!

Re: Combat in SEV

When first struggling to learn SEIV, there was a satisfaction in having my lone frigate equipped only with a couple of DUC’s and a combat sensor rip apart 3 large Eee crusier fleets using tactical...

Re: If you could give one bit of advice to someone

Read the FAQ (Oh, wait that was not allowed)

Re: The \"What would we do without Space Empires\" Poll

Re: Recon Satellites

One of the other uses for a "spy" sat is in a nebulae sector to "see" the hidden ships.

Re: Would this be considered a gamey tactic

Why wait til you get up to LC? If this happens early enough in the game, be it PBW or "merely" you verses the AI, this becomes easy research points for you. A frigate with 4 boarding parties and a...

Re: SE4\'s Value

For myself, compare the purchase price of SEIII and SEIV vs years of enjoyment? Don’t even have to do the math to figure out this equation; but I will add two more:

For the years that the SEIII...

Re: It seems a bit easy

I agree that TDM is a nice AI to practice your strategic skills on before branching out to human players. Also, the team mode will prevent you from getting ridiculous concessions from the AI....

Re: Let\'s be friends (Getting AI to make peace)

Re: Switch sides

Couldn't one start a game and "sit on one's hands" for X turns to do that? It wouldn't be as rich as a scenario you are describing, but would give the AI a head start.

Re: How do I blockade?.

True, but there are the occasions when the attack ships arrive without troops and you don't want to glass the planet.

Sometimes in the very early game, especially if "Empires allowed to start in...

Re: How do I blockade?.

As previously mentioned, if you set a ship's (not fleet, but ship) strategy to "Don't get hurt", it will "run for the corners" instead of approaching enemy ships, planets or units. Certain Design...

Re: Computer Difficulty and Bonus ?
