Re: Planetary bombardment(genocide)

I almost never bomb enemy planets. They are too useful as slaves to my empire http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon12.gif. Especially ones that breathe a different atmosphere than I do.

Re: Ummm... No drones???

There were plans for drones but so far they are not in the game. I have seen comments that they are being worked on. Hopefully they will be included in a patch when they are done.

Re: So whats the downside to Satellites?

The major drawbacks to Satellites are no manuverability, pd weapons kill them easily, and the biggest drawback is that they can't be upgraded. They definately are useful as a quick defence for border...

Re: Ministers and Organic Weapons

Well even when you hit the upgrade button in the ship building screen there is a few things that don't work optimally. I find its much better to upgrade manually using copy. If you don't and you have...

Re: Auto Save

When you start a new game its in the Last tab Mechanics. There is an option for Autosave frequency. I don't know if there is a way to change that during a game in progress.

Re: Basic Questions - -HELP???

Actually if you look at missles closely they are allowed to be placed on Satellites but cannot target anything except Planets/Ships. I thought at first they said they could target satellites also but...

Re: Wonderful Game - a few bugs

To use ground combat you have to be in the same sector as the planet. Either use tactical combat or make sure you have the right strategy selected for your ships in Strategic combat. I don't use...
