Re: Weapons Modding

I think the Palace would be a great facility. Lose it and your happiness and resource production go down the drain until you build a new one. Make it cost a fortune!
Maybe in SE5 ...

Re: Weapons Modding

The ability file lists all abilities in the game but some only work with facilities and some only with components. I think the supply generation ability is for the resupply depot facility but it may...

Re: Have you ever been Experienced?

I build a lot of AAA ships and find that they reach legendary status very quickly, especially against races that are heavy fighter Users. Do you think this is right? My feeling is that fighter and...

Re: A pirates life for me...

To bad there isn't a way to give away some of that "Pirate Loot" you probably have stashed on some un-named moon. That would make'm happy http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New New Newest patch info ;).

Great idea on the emergency propulsion/supply. Now if they can only figure a way to remove it from the ship after use it will be used as intended.

Re: Minesweepers

Yep the AI needs to learn how to use combined arms fleets. I don't know how hard that will be to implement but I hope it can be done.

Re: Does Anyone Use Escorts?

I only use them for scouts and sensor ships. They build fast and don't cost much. Using them as sensor ships allows me to put an additional weapon/shield on my combat fleet. The sensor also helps...

Re: Combat: Strategic vs. tactical

In tactical combat you will almost always be able to get the better of the AI. When you play against a human in tactical combat then your fleet composition becomes as important as tactics. You really...

Re: lack of resource bug

I think if the AI had 400 - 500 k of resources in reserve it would be able to survive for 10-15 turns of negative spending without putting itself into a hole. Having a reserve also allows the AI a...

Re: Mod Packers - Research File Issues - EA & Toron

I think if weapons platforms, sats and space ships are available at start then troops have probably been discovered by then too. They should be included at the start.

Re: Are some techs/wepons useless?

Also one of the beauties of this game is that for every defense there is a counter and vice versa. I have yet to see the perfect fleet.

Re: \"Mega Evil Empire\" triggering

SJ
What happens if you are MEE then go down to second place by only a few points? Would you still be MEE or does it wear off once your score is not above the MEE level?

Re: Combat Simultor Bug??

Re: \"Mega Evil Empire\" triggering

I guess if you were playing without being able to view all scores the only way you could tell was if you got offered or could give a treaty.

Re: \"Mega Evil Empire\" triggering

Good queston Warchild. What does happen if one player is replaced by another as MEE? I've never seen it happen but I'm sure it could.

If the AI is not paying attention to the maximum maintenance line that would explain a lot of what I have seen.

Re: odd 1.30 observation

I noticed the same thng with the AI running out of resources. I guess since the modders have tweaked the shipbuilding routines now the resources are a little out of balance.

Re: Good Information

Yes, adding race specific ships is a great thing. I have added some types to my Pirate race and have found they add a lot to the game.
It would be neat to design special hulls for the racial traits...
