Re: How to use the Aethric Mirror?

You need to know that the planet is occupied by an enemy fleet before it will work. There are a couple of fleets that you cannot mirror.

Re: Time managment???

I use fast forward if I have to go thru nebula without a nebular drive.

The 'play' button I don't really use, but some do, to wait for things like novas to collapse, or to put the Kawangi in just...

Re: Experimental Anti-Kawangi Tactics

Re: Hired help always accepts offers?

I've had them refuse something... I think...

what you need to do is offer something they don't have one of so that they don't throw out the old one, and then take it back if you want.

Nope, and nope. It's gotta be in your cargo or on your ships.

Re: Another way to fight Momma Space Yam

Yeah - I also seem to recall that the flanking ships need to move forward near the end, and fire on the tchorak... depends on how much damage you can deal.

Another big hit is to use the cloaked...

Re: smart targeting computers, my tuchus.

I know - it's a scaling issue. Try the science ship with a multimissile and a good thruster vs the Yellow Kawangi. The scale resets nicely and 'plink' makes more sense (and the big side firing arc of...

Re: Why no stats?

They're not in the game. The game likes you to figure out these things for yourself.

But if you go outside the game, you can open up the .ini files (which is what you change when you're modding)...
