Re: Weapon Platforms

You could argue that as sensors/targeting is getting better, so are jammers and such things. And we are, after all, trying to hit planetary( small ? ) targets through the entire atmosphere with...

AI Combat speedup test for the Balance Mod 1.03

Since it appeared that AI combats were being limited to the same 8x max speed that is offered to the player, I went about seeing if it was possible to do something about it; if it was possible to get...

Unless he's done some heavy modding, anyway.

Re: A Problem I Often Encounter When Colonizing

Do you actually load them with population before taking off? O_O

Re: Balance Mod Update...

That's a bit different, though, since raising their defensive bonus makes them harder to hit for all weapons, not just the larger ones.

Re: Fighter Strategies

That's true. Still, there's aspects about SE V's combat that has confused many of us again and again, so it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side.

That'd be a better idea, but is it actually possible?

Re: Dark UI Mod

I'm sorry: I only deleted my own post( following yours ) about the update, since it was no longer relevant. I appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

The next update is coming along more slowly, as...

Re: Fighter Strategies

Well, let's say you only have those interceptors left and you need to take out a stray colony ship, for example. If you've switched all other targets to Do Not Engage then you wont be able to take...

Re: Balance Mod Update...

How about removing 'Fighter' from 'can target' for the main weapons? As it is they're getting shredded long before they can even reach a frigate+ class ship. Making them targetable by point-defense...

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

I did some tests with a stopwatch, and it does indeed look as if AI combats are limited to 8x speed just like the player's combats.

A combat that took 8 seconds for the AI to finish took 9'ish...

Re: Fighter Strategies

The problem with this is that you might want your fighters to engage those targets if they're the only ones present. If set to Do Not Engange, however, your fighters will just retreat at once if...

Re: Fighter Strategies

Remember that many factors plays in to create the #1 priority. Try switching all the "Targeting Priority Order" options to "Target Type", not just one of them, and see if that makes a difference.

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

It's basically the original Settings.txt file that follows with the Balance Mod.

I've made two changes. I've disabled combat replays, although that particular change hasn't made much of a...

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

It's only a 3ghz P4 HT, so not much to brag about.

Perhaps it would be possible to make SE one of the games that could take advantage of dual CPUs, but I guess that's a long shot given we only...

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

Seven minutes does sound completely unacceptable. With 5 AI players my turn processing takes about 10 seconds at turn 20 with no combats. I pushed forward a few turns until two of the AIs were...

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

Give what Tnargversion2 says a try. Oh, and turning off retreat will actually increase time processing, as it makes retreat-combats run for the maximum allowed time( as opposed to ending when...

Re: Dark UI Mod

Strange, they should be. You did reinstall the mod after installing the SE 1.25 patch? I'll have a look into it at any rate, as I need to repack the 1.05 version.

Re: Dark UI Mod

Thanks Fyron, that should save me some extra work. Strange how it only seem to matter with the full-screen UI parts, though.

Hard to say without actually having the code to look at. And I can't really say I know for sure. What I've seen is that the problem does not appear to exist in pure stock. The problem is...

Re: Balance Mod

I don't think that's the case, Kwok. I tried taking stock PD firing rates down, but that didn't produce the problem. Just as taking the Balance Mod's PD firing rates up again to 2000 didn't solve the...

Nice amount of fixes. Are we getting 1.25, or will he be doing another before releasing?

Re: SE V Bugs That Are Still Present

Have anyone else a crash when changing viewmode in ground-combat? It's 100% reproduceable for me.
