Re: OT: Strange future for down-under?

Point A : An overwhelming majority of politicians the world over would be considered 'socialist' if they entered US politics.

Point B : The Australian people won't go for it. That's why it isn't...

Re: OT: Strange future for down-under?

It isn't that ridiculous if you think about it. Hawaii and Alaska are states and they're non-contiguous with the other 48 states. Texas was an independent, sovereign nation before joining. There is...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Or just program it into the transport's orders : attack planet III, drop 30 troops. Attack moon IIIA, drop 10 troops.

Maybe it would be easier to do this by including new parameters in the...

Re: A thought on the Talisman / Live on Pay-Per-View: Geo vs. Fyron

I say, leave the Talisman the way it is. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ...

Re: Imagine there\'s no Talisman, it isn\'t hard to do

If you take away the Talisman, you should give Religious a weapon component. Everyone else has one.

I suggest a Deus Ex Machina Cannon : skips everything and fires every turn. Size, damage and...

Re: capturing planets question

It would be better if you could drop just enough troops to conquer the moon, then drop the rest on the planet. But no, 'drop troops' is an all-or-nothing affair. Using 'Void Jumping Troops' (pat....

Re: OT: Carbon Dioxide races -> known vs unknown -> terraforming mars -> is or is not

Re: capturing planets question

You mean it wasn't in the FAQ ? Yay, I'm getting my name in the FAQ credits !! But remember, it only works when 'the stars are right' and the planets are adjacent in the tactical map.

I once saw ruins on asteroids in a P&N game, but I deleted it. Is this common or unusual ?

Re: Philosophical Quandry: Piracy

Granted. But why is stealing immoral ?

Edit : This is meant to provoke thought. I am not questioning the fact that stealing is immoral.

Re: OT: Read a book!

How could I have forgotten... I also read the seminal cyberpunk novels : Islands in the Net and Neuromancer. Snow Crash is also quite good (wild, butgood).
