Re: \"petition\" for MM to add starting techs

I think this is supposed to be a petition, could we get some votes in, and maybe start a seperate thread discussing what techs we'd like, etc . . . for sure the pirate and nomad trees! ::grins::

Re: Robo miners/Remote Mining maintenance Reduction

One mod I'd like to see for remote mining is a technology I call "remote pillaging" designed to be used against enemy occupied worlds. Your people/machines land on the contested world and begin strip...

Re: Protecting Planets

I never could find a spot in the rulebook that said whether mines exploded only for enemy ships so i've been loath to place them around my planets or warp points I might wish to use.

Re: Evil Idea

I'm assuming for the moment that the location of my homeworlds is a high priority secret, known to few if any races. Knowledge of my exact location might be one valid reason for your imminent...

Re: Evil Idea

Why not open a number of warp points into his space from all over yours, using ships that only open warp points, only one of them leads to your heavilly defended home system, the rest are traps,...

Re: Protecting Planets

Satellites and weapon platforms are deffinitely a must for your major planets, but for major systems the best defense is fighter Groups, huge fighter Groups.

Fighter fleets don't cost much to...

Re: \"petition\" for MM to add starting techs

I cast my vote for everyone choosing different starting techs at the beginning. I may be an extremist but I think even colonization tech should be optional.

Maybe we could operate on a point...

Re: Unique racial tech trees not individual techs

Actually everyone starting out equal is best in my oppinion, we just need a LOT of special tech trees, and they shouldn't all cost 1500 points to get either. That would mean the entire tech tree was...

Re: New Manual??

I found both manuals to be vague, incomplete and utterly useless, most of the game wasn't included in either manual, most spots were (of course) mentioned in the paper manual, with an arrow pointing...

Re: What\'s the most important thing to research?

I find construction the most useful to research quick, it gives you access to a lot of other options, like troops which the computer is an utter moron in countering, and fighters which are one of...

System names and stuff

Right now we have the ability to name our home planet and any other world that we settle, but it hardly ever gets used because you settle so many worlds and they are mostly the same. Yet there are a...

Re: Unique racial tech trees not individual techs

I think the current system is better, it gives everyone an equal starting point, and lets us have special racial technologies like temporal or psychic. However I will say that the developers haven't...

Warp-points and warp manipulation

I'd like to suggest a number of things to add to warp point set-up which would make existing warp point more useful later in the game, and make it a little bit harder for me to simply plop a huge...

Re: Natives

Re: Technology trades

You can always put "any tech" as what you want to trade for, but in my games I find it more fun to close off technology gifts/tributes/trades entirely from play, theres and option for that in the...

Re: Anyone read Honor Harrington?

The hyper-space idea might be modded in, what you need is a component that opens a warp point, moves the ship through, and closes it the same turn, the tricky part I think is having it give the order...

Re: New Features You Would Like to See That Would Have to Be Hard Coded

I think the native races would have to be hard coded in, especially that bit about them advancing and the limits on what technology to give them, space probes going through space rather then...

Re: how do turns play out?

You can use ministers in seiv to do almost anything, including play the whole game for you, but to my way of thinking that defeats the purpose, except perhaps when your testing a new ai file.
