Re: I am a thief!

As has been said before, it's not 'infinite' supplies. It's enough for the station itself to function indefinitely, not to supply entire fleets. Bases don't need engine fuel (the main use of...

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.

Re: weapon platforms, weight ratios and modding questions

Mmmmm. A 150kT escort is about the same mass as two supercarriers. Quite large for the first 'proper' ships a race launches into space, if you take the figures literally. It's best not to.

Re: weapon platforms, weight ratios and modding questions

I agree - the thing I'm working on is going to greatly reduce the amount of damage you can do to a planet with bog-standard ship weapons too.

Great to see the big times taking the Worthless Cup seriously. I can't wait for the final.

Re: intelligence projects chances of success

As you've discovered, never tell your intel agents to steal 'any technology' - always tell them exactly what area to go for. The random element inherent in 'any technology' is huge (and annoying), as...

Re: Support ship design

The way I see it, weapons and defences reduce the efficiency of a support ship, whilst support items reduce the efficiency of warships.

If I don't arm my support ships, they won't get blown up...

Whoa. Did the Shrapnel Games site fall over yesterday or something? I couldn't get on the forum. Two days of thinking coalesced into one post - sorry if it's a bit of a large one.

Re: Obtaining the full Version

UK supplier (http://www.strategic-plus.co.uk/)

I got both SE4 and SE4 Gold from them. Not cheap, but delivery was fairly prompt both times and there's not much of an alternative.

Probable causes of AI anger:

Re: Favorite Ship Size Poll

When I get battlecruisers I tend to scrap (sorry, phase out) anything smaller. Battleships are great because they are just as fast in combat and have larger weapon mounts.
