Re: Thank You MM

Yeah, I even noticed that my recommendation
to have a "next ship doesn't stop at fleet
option" was put in. Kewl!

Re: Wanted: Cheating AI

"IMO cheating AI as a standard AI in the game is just a product of laziness of programmers."

It's much easier to write an AI when that AI has access to perfect information, but when it does not...

Re: Richard, very classy!

I think everyone understands that the AI
still needs quite a bit of work to present
a player with a reasonable challenge. What
I personally object to is characterizing
SEIV as a "bad game" or as...

Re: The only thing that po\'s me ....

I find it bizarre how people with nearly
the same configurations could get such
dramatically different results. More info:
My "max number of systems" is left to the
default in Settings.txt (i.e.,...

Re: Making Cloaked Warp Points, Stealth Armor

Um, if you really wanted to test planetary
cloaking, you might just generate a couple
of human players only. You could even tweak
the Settings.txt file so that the number of
systems is so low you...

Re: The only thing that po\'s me ....

This sounds distinctly like you don't have
enough memory. I have a 500 mhz K7 with
256 megs of ram. Turns go in 30 seconds or
so with 14 or so AI players and a fully
populated late-game universe...

Re: Bombs on Troops???

Think of troops as being a combined arms
force (which is exactly what they'd have
to be, if you think about it).

Re: Making Cloaked Warp Points, Stealth Armor

To test your planetary cloaking facility,
start a game with two human players. Go
back and forth between them.

Re: Transport Minister Broken?

The transport minister doesn't really seem to have the ability to project the consequences of its own actions. For example, it might decide to grab X population from some planet, but then send 10...

Re: Fleets are great but...

On a slightly different note, one of the
thing that really drives me NUTTY about
the "next ship" button is the way it visits
multiple ships in the same fleet. ARG. With
larger games, it's usally...

Re: What\'s your best carrier design?

Personally, I find fleets with lots of
fighters to be really annoying. It slows
down strategic combat quite a bit, and in
any case the A.I. doesn't really appear to
know how to use them correctly...

Re: A strange effect?

I'm pretty sure there is an option for
this. My animations are always very fast.
If I *blink* I'll miss them. For example,
I have my transport minister turned on,

Re: Up to date beta patch info..

Bah. You clearly don't play that many
computer games. SEIV is far more "finished"
than many games which are released to the
market and then patched at most ONCE. This
is a very good game and...

Re: How do I move around the components for Ringworlds and Sphereworlds?

In case you missed it, by the way, the
answer is "you can't." You must build them
exactly where you need them. Starbases cannot
move.

Star tweak. ...

Yeah, either that or make it so that a
ship with a QR neither needs supply nor
provides any.

Re: What now????

It's funny; you conclude that you should
micro manage fighters, where, in a game
against the A.I., I conclude that all games
should be strategic. Why would someone want
an ADDITIONAL advantage...

Re: Is Resupply Tech worth it???

Yeah, it actually took me a while to figure
out how powerful it actually was. I simply
assumed it only resupplied the ship which
had it installed: this is not so. I agree
with you: it should...

What will often help an A.I. to defeat human

it the ability to process information in such
a way that gives it an advantage, but at the

Re: Help for non-programmers??

Don't make any modifications if you don't
understand this stuff; instead wait for
"published" mods to appear or await patches
from Malfador.
