Retreating??

Re: Retreating??

Yeah, a scrolling tac map would make sense. The main trouble that I can foresee is if ships head off in opposite directions, so that the display area can't hold them both no matter where it scrolls....

Re: Retreating??

The reason the game includes a strategic view is probably the same as why there's no tactical retreat: PBEM. Since, at least with the current AI, it would be really annoying to have your enemies be...

Re: Tech tree

It would be a bit premature to work out a full analysis of all the different techs at this point, because Malfador says they're going to tweak the tech tree for play balance, to make organics and...

Re: How can we board ships?

To get boarding parties, you have to research Military Science up to level 2, and then at least one level of Ship Capture. Then you just have to move a ship with at least one boarding parties...

Re: Another Approach to Research

Well, as a matter of fact, I'm playing in a PBEM game where I pretty much do give my captains orders and let them go from there. Silly little buggers are none too smart about it, either. That's...

Re: Another Approach to Research

I can't figure out how to get the message board software to let me quote the bit where Baron Munchausen says I have "a strange idea of fun" for liking games with "just one more turn" syndrome. ...

What about andvanced tech on an empty planet?

Posted By Jeb

Re: What about andvanced tech on an empty planet?

To get the advanced tech, you need to found a colony on the planet or moon with the "stonehenge" symbol. Were the planets the right kind for your colony ships (i.e. not ice planets for rock colony...

Re: for a newbie

Just to amplify a bit:

The easiest way to transfer cargo if you're in orbit around the planet in question is to use the transfer button, which looks like a green arrown and a yellow arrow pointing...

Re: Another Approach to Research

On the other hand, the "delayed effect of efforts" is one of the things that causes "just one more turn" syndrome. First you play another turn so you can research that dandy new tech. Then you play...

Homeworlds

I think it's grossly unfair that homeworlds are not of uniform size. I just started a game when my homeworld was Tiny! With a smaller population, your shipyard is slower, and of course you start...

New Demo and New Demo Patch

Re: New Demo and New Demo Patch

I started a game with the new demo and noticed that it puts many fewer special worlds. I'm not sure, but it looks like you can only get the special tech now--there are no more free normal tech...

Surefire early game combat tactics

It's no secret that the AI in the demo is currently pretty weak, so there's no particular difficulty in beating up on it. I think the tactics I'm describing, however, flow from the basic structure...
