Re: Down side to ship computers

It's not currently possible as you would need MM to code that ability before items could include it... I have thought about what that would take, because I wanted to add special computers to my mod...

Re: Wishlist for AI

Well in modern militaries their are defense shps they call monitors (maybe we should design a new hull type?) Monitors are slow, use trusted older techs, aren't expensive, etc. Though they still can...

Re: Knowing when an enemy enters a system

Actually the triangle is only there if you have vessels/planets in that system as well... I use a large sat with scanners & a cloaking device (very expensive) for monitoring my systems, but it works...

Re: Maintenance Formula

I actually increased the size of my fighters to make them fit more with my play style (I'm big on fighters), but the bigger you are the more you cost... in effect I made them slightly bigger, but...

Re: Carrier questions

Fighter combat gets really good if you switch vehicle sizes for the larger fighter types like I did (30 for medium, 45 for large). This keeps them useful well into the end of the game & replace most...

Re: Some thoughts on mines and mine sweepers
