Re: No AI retrofit?

Another reason to refit the ships is that they seem to get bonuses if they are sucessful in enough battles. I have had ships with big bonuses because they became "legendary". These ships are great to...

Re: emergency build bug

I haven't tried the scrapping the base idea but it sounds like it has a serious flaw isn't the time it takes to build it and the minerals it takes to do that a major drawback? I can see that maybe...

Re: Using New Race Graphics?

I didn't try to do this in the demo Version but I have heard the only thing you can do with new graphics in the demo is to replace existing graphics maybe even using the same names. I recomend being...

Re: Anarchy!

But the puppet political party intell operation works well. You would think it would be harder to take over a world than to just sow a bit of unrest. I have never had the puppet political parties...

Re: Intel/Counter Intel

Counter Intell only stops intell actions against you you don't get anything from the "research". If no other races were using Intell against you when the operation finishes it will say that it fails....

Re: Great game, but a couple of newbie questions

1. Well I never did start a military base I will have to try that now. If you use the ministers the title matters because they use that to tell them what facilities to build on that planet. Otherwise...

Re: Using New Race Graphics?

Re: This Was Much Too Easy!

The AI is definately better in the full Version than in the demo and the changes in the patch give them better options for defence such as the fighter change and curing the unsheilded bug for units....

Re: The Patch!

Sir Darwin I also had the problem with the saved games. I used an existing race that I saved when I had all the colonization techs so that I would have ships already designed. But when I used that...

Re: This Was Much Too Easy!

With the new patch also the fighters are much better. Some AI's use them to guard worlds also. I lost a few ships trying to blockade a homeworld not expecting the beam weapons to have 1% chance to...

Re: Computer Player Difficulty Setting

Then if the difficulty isn't enough try the bonus setting also. I tried the low bonus setting before the patch and the computer seemed to research things a bit faster.

Re: Moding Questions

Re: The Peasants are revolting

Well for bloodthirsty races that takes a bit longer because you only get -2 and -1 for having ships in the sector and system. The quickest way to make the Bloodthirsty races happy is to declare war....

Re: AI Players and (lack of) Research

I have started giving the AI a bonus and it does help, you can really tell a difference even with a small bonus. The AI seems to research point defences to stop the early "missle rush" strategy and...

Re: Starting Planet Type question.

A nice thing would be to have an option to have the starting type and atmosphere of your race random as it was in SEIII. Being able to pick the type and atmosphere adds to roleplaying so it should...

Re: Block Watch Program

The satellites can be put on the warp points into the system. Then you will at least know if a ship has entered the system. If it is a colony ship you know they are at least looking for a place to...

Re: Starting Planet Type question.

The only reasons I have found for Rock or Ice planet colonization is that you can pick "none" as your atmosphere type. For some reason Gas Giants can't be without an atmosphere ...
