"Quick Gold game for newbies"

I have just started a game at http://seiv.pbw.cc/ with this title - with four players on a small map starting with 3 planets each, things should start happening quickly. I am particularly keen to get...

Getting PD ships to engage fighters

In one game I designed a ship without any weapons except PD to get rid of a threatening cloud of fighters. They did attack my planet in the end but my PD carrier ran off into a corner instead of...

Playing vs AI with > 2000 race points

If I bump up the number of race points available, will the default AI races change accordingly? IE is there a 2000, 3000, and 5000 point Version of each? Or would I end up with an unfair advantage?

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

Can B5 be played with conventional weapons and AI (just keeping pics and attitudes) or is it tuned so you have to use the whole mod (which I presume changes weapons etc)?

Re: Before I buy Gold... ...

Well, I just got gold so you've got at least one opponent! (Can one join existing SE IV games with Gold?)

Re: SE IV Gold Demo - any opponents out there?

Now that PBW supports the SE IV demo (and I can attest that it does work and makes the process of playing a game a lot easier) does anyone want a game, already? I thought there were lots of SE IV...

Re: What does "optimum range" mean?

So if you want to close to the closest range you can get while being outside the enemy's range, can you do that? If so, how? And how is optimum range calculated?

What does "optimum range" mean?

Do direct fire weapons get more accurate the closer you are? If so, my ideal range for a DF ship would be just outside the enemy's range if possible. If I couldn't out-range him then ideal range...

Simeultaneous move - join ships

Has anyone figured out an easy way to have two fleets join each other and use their movement points well (short of figuring out where they need to be at the end and both going there?) I think a...

Re: Making notes on a map - suggestion

I know about border view but it doesn't give enough info. Is the system just colonised with a tiny colony or is it full of heavily defended systems?

Feature request: edit orders

If a ship has a set of three or four orders, I sometimes find that one of them is wrong. At present I have to cancel all of the orders then re-enter them all correctly. It would be good if the "View...

Re: Making simeultaneous moves easier

The halting isn't the problem - the problem is that if a system is unexplored you don't know what to send your ships to. They can see what is in a system halfway through a turn but can't act on it...

Re: Making notes on a map - suggestion

Not only that - it also doesn't let you make notes on the tactical map at all. So if you know where his homeworld is you have to remind yourself on the strat map that it is Utekra X or whatever then...

It would be nice if one could leave notes to one's self on the "strategic" map and on the "tactical" map - reminding you of exactly where the enemy's main planets are, for example, so you don't have...

Making simeultaneous moves easier

There should be a "auto colonize breathable worlds in newly explored sectors" command so exploring colony ships don't halt each time they go through a warp point. Similarly you could have an...

Making transfers and colonization easier

1) If a unit is a "population transport" design, the popup asking what you want to load and unload should default to "population" (same with minelayers, CVs and so on)

2) You should be able to ask...
