Re: End of the month

Sorry, trying to work and browse.
I meant I hope you cannot use the Allegiance Converter to convert a ship with a functioning Master Computer on it.

Re: Minefield Limit Loophole

Especially with the bug in the to hit/to miss modifier! The only drawback to large Groups of fighters is IF you get hit by a high damage weapon you have more potential losses and they still die like...

I agree with Q, the more uncertainty the better.

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

I agree with you ZzZ.
It's the same with the Vietnamese but movies tend to make the soldiers a substitute for the leaders of the countries with all of their bad traits expressed through the...

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

That would probably work better.
Definately make the AI a defender, possibly with lots of cloaked ships, WP, fighters, mines and sats to surprise the supriser.
Since it would be a scenario you...

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

It would be a little difficult to do your proposed sneak attack because everyone knows its coming, just not where from. It might be better to set up only one or two and not say who is going to be on...

Re: Game to Game Ship Design Carryover Bug

This might be a great way to limit/program what the AI builds, especially in a high tech game. If this could be used in conjunction with the ship size limits in the AI settings file you could...

Re: Build queue

I like the spreading out of the construction like research and intel.

Re: A few comments about the Romulan

Yep, I restrict myself in a lot of way too, except against those devious humans that I play hotseat against. They are such sneaky buggers!

Re: My love for the Gas Giants!

I think using any other colonizing tech besides the one you start with gives you a tremendous advantage over the AI. Personally, I restrict myself to only colonizing home planet type and never...

Re: A few comments about the Romulan

I don't think it will ever be possible to get the AI to use all the available tech/weapon combos effectively. As you point out they are only as good as their creator made them. The AI, in its current...

Re: Finding AI opponents / good mods

Dev mod is also excellent.There are a lot of new things in it. Latest Version is 1.31 I think. Only two new races but lots of new ship/components.

Re: OT, virus alert

I received instructions from our parent company to delete the file and did it.
Anyone know what this file does? It doesn't seem to have affected the operation of my computer.

Re: Severe combat disadvantage for AI

The first shot/move is a BIG advantage in WP combat but not so big in other types. If you take out the AI leader ship on the first shot in a WP battle you get two shots/moves without return fire....

Re: whatis filler tech, exactly?

I think the way it works is that the filler techs are alway chosen if another tech needs to be researched. So in your example the two filler techs would continue to be the next two techs chosen until...

Re: This game is an expensive coaster

I can understand, but no agree, with your complaints. This is not the first, and certainly not the Last game, that didn't meet everyones expectations, and possible some advertising, which I can't...

Re: Severe combat disadvantage for AI

Maybe an initiative roll could be made for warp point combat or just random choice.

Re: Buy It?

Depends on what you like. If you like 4X games then the answer is YES. If you are not sure try the demo, it give you a good sampling of the full game.

Re: Crew Insurrections - to powerful?

I agree, it is too easy to gain multiple techs this way. Maybe it could be limited to one tech advance total per turn/ship.

Re: Does population play any importance role in SE4?

I'm hoping that eventually the game can be set to have a minimum population needed PER facility. Then population would be very important.

Re: Severe combat disadvantage for AI

Unless you memorize the formations I have no idea how you tell which one is the fleet leader. Maybe you can tell by watching the AI move. The first to move is the leader, I think.
