Re: Computer Experience vs Crew

True. However, I am trying to play my race as a bunch sentient computers.

Re: The Ship Class You Use Most

Warships - Battle Cruisers without a doubt.

Civilian - Small Transports. I am always moving things about.

Re: Mines could add a lot of game depth

I generally don't like mines in SEIV. They take a lot of work, and even though the AI is currently dealing with them very well in my game, the general consensus is that the AI doesn't handle them...

Re: How can we get MM to answer a simple question here?

Can you imagine the torrent of email he must be receiving? Yikes!

Of course I don't seem to be as anxious as some, but I attribute that to having very little spare time to actually play the game....

That is a very good question. I'll see if I can't setup a test condition this weekend, unless someone else already knows the answer.

I think reducing happiness to 50% gave me back 750pts. I made up whatever the rest was by reducing trade.

Isn't it cheating then to use a reduced happiness to pay for Emotionless? I may have to play around with some other values because it doesn't seem right.

I would like opinions on what everyone thinks would be appropriate for a machine race. All the ships will have master computers, but what else should the race have?

Thanks.
