Re: Massive AI Satellite Overproduction

Haven't looked at the stock AI design files for satellites, but I have seen it in action in my games. Often I'll see from 4 to 8 sensor satellites per sensor generation hovering above an AI race's...

Re: Repairs

Nope no cost -- other than the maintenance you normally pay for the on-ship repair component. You don't lose resources every time a ship is repaired.

Personally, I think that's just fine. The...

Re: No system shield for you

Hey, all. Was able to duplicate the system shield failure in an unmodded test, and sent the savegame on to Aaron. In his typically professional fashion, he got right back to me and said he'd check it...

Re: Just Wondering....

Mine's a newspaper editing catchphrase for when the "lead" of a story (the key summary paragraph, usually right at the top, spelled all funny in newspaper fashion) is dropped down farther into the...

Re: No system shield for you

Yeah, Baron. I consider the one Planetary Shield per sector a feature, as opposed to a bug. Just thought it worth noting.

I completed a completely unmodded test in 1.35, and came up with the same...

Re: No system shield for you

Hmmmm. This is distressing. In a test, I tried out nebula and black-hole creators in a system with a System Gravitational Shield Facility. Both worked on one of my own ships, despite the shield...

Re: Population Disappearing?

Did an experiment today, and it backs up Dominion's findings, actually. Using my native population -- straight from the homeword -- and large transports with colony modules on them, I colonized each...

Re: No system shield for you

Good idea. Could indeed be the case. I also realized that the system shield was on my Ringworld. That could be messing with it, too.

I'm going to do an extensive case test of every system and...

No system shield for you

So, in a solo game, my home system had a System Gravitational Shield Facility on a functional and happy planet. A few turns later, I had just built my first black-hole creator ship and, being...

Re: 50% Cargo Containers on Transports

I'm a big fan of using medium transports for colony ships a little later in the game. As noted, the colony module helps take up the 50% cargo space requirement. The 1/2-price hull makes it cheaper...

Re: Warp Speed

With me, as mentioned in other threads, I can ensure my animated movement is faster if I have my MP3 player on in the background. It's consistent -- and makes absolutely no sense to me. (More...

Re: New shipset: TAIIDAN COMMONWEALTH

I think it's a great idea. Thanks! Love those ships, too -- I almost always played with the Taiidan designs in multiplayer Homeworld.

Did you base it off the modified Phong AI that's floating...

Ship hull abilities

So here's a question for the mod monsters among us. I know people have talked about adding movement points to ship hulls (e.g. escorts and frigates, to give them extra movement for a given number of...

Re: SQUIDS IN SPACE!! ;-)

I've just run afoul of a squid task force with my lowly scout frigate, and I'm in over my head! (har.)

Gotta say that I've never giggled so much while being torn apart. Thanks for the great ship...

Re: Fighters lock up

Ifoater:

I take it the Amonkrie were using fighters, and you were playing out the combat on automatic in tactical mode? If that's true, it's a known, and much talked about, bug. ( a search of this...

Re: Has any one ever actually completed a full game?

Great idea! That would be a fun scenario. I've read a few hints on this board that a scenario editor may be in the works. Here's hoping that such a thing would have a good way to...

Re: Well its 2 am, and here I am playing

Yup, 1 - 4 a.m. is prime conquest time for me, too. Nothing like getting home from work, cracking open a Red Hook ESB and wading into enemy defense lines with tachyon cannons blazing.

Of course, I...

Thanks for the work, Zippy.

Downloaded it today, and should be able to dig into it later tonight. I'll keep a notebook close by, and I'll let you know what I've found in a day or two. Sounds like...

My access errors, both with and without the modpack, always involve combat with fighters involved (almost always the other guys'). As Dracus noted, it seems to...
