Re: Remaining issues

The Last race I saw doing it was the Que Cappa. One race did it before it might have been the Sergetti but I can't remember that one for sure.

Re: Mephisto: Mod Question

I have thought a lot about making level II and level III engines hold more supplies. It would give a reason to upgrade to them and also a reason not to upgrade to the next faster engine so quickly....

Re: Mephisto: Mod Question

Well perhaps it is better off right now without supply storage if it won't use it anyway, but I never design a destroyer or above class of ship without at least 2 supply storage units. Also I see...

Re: Mephisto: Mod Question

You took off all the supply storage from the AI? I don't think they use it enough myself. I know if I see an AI ship that their home world will be only a couple of systems from there because they...

Re: Remaining issues

Re: 1.19 Retrofit bug

I have heard it mentioned that there are one way warp points. They must be very rare though I have played many games and have never seen one.

Re: MP Minesweeper Designs? (and ideas)

I haven't played PBEM games but isn't it possible to give your ship two orders? Like Warp then move back to the space you were in before the warp. Of course if there are ships waiting to attack you...

Re: Weapons Report Bug?

No you can select weapon mount sizes inside the weapon report window. But in the help section the only weapon mount listed is the normal mount. The others are just left off probably by mistake. In...

Re: Question for Schrapnel/Malfador on new patch...

One quick fix is to find a race in the game that is close to your new race for example if you are using a race that you think would use Crystallurgy use the text files in the pictures/races/Phong...

Re: Weapons Report Bug?

Your right in the help screen it dosen't seem to work but if you go to that same screen in the design area (while creating a new ship design or editing one) it seems to work fine.

Re: 1.19 Retrofit bug

Re: Planets Screen newbie question

Re: 1 Bug, 1 Comment, 2 Suggestions, 1 Complaint

I have noticed the "bug" with counter intell also. I do not split the points evenly very often but usually I repeat them. Many times I will have many turns to go on my counter intell as I end a turn...

Re: Silly, evil trick?

I still think the most evil trick is to make a treaty, mine their homeworld(s) and other refuling spots then break the treaty. You will bring an empire to its knees very fast this way without...

Re: Happiness Type

Well I thought it was in the our race menu but it is not. That would be a good addition so you could see what strategy to use if you forget what happiness you chose.

Re: Next Patch?

Re: mining asteroids

If you put one satellite layer and one mine layer on your transports you can put as many satellites and mines as the transports can hold just about anywhere. If you want to use satellites in combat...

Re: \"Slow production\"

One good thing to do if you can is build the level one facilities while you are on slow build. If you have enough population they still only take one turn. That way you are really saving a lot...

Re: Cargo....

What I use it for the most especially early in the game is to move population around. You lose a lot of population on your homeworld because there is no more room to grow. If you take those excess...
