Re: Racial Traits, Discussion on Pro\'s/Con\'s.

ZeroAdun: I think you are referring to the maximum weapons range option. This works fine for missile ships. Then they will not come closer than their range, say 16. The problem is with direct fire...

Re: Racial Traits, Discussion on Pro\'s/Con\'s.

"Hey, its better than nothing, right? It also means one more chance that the enemy will miss (If either shot (CV or AS) misses, your ship will not be converted)
Plus, you now have two things to...

Mephisto: Sorry. I thought it was obvious that the AS had the computer virus since S-J was assuming this. I recommend having a couple extra to be sure you hit the first time.

Re: Racial Traits, Discussion on Pro\'s/Con\'s.

S-J: A Master Computer is not a viable defense against the Allegiance Subverter in one on one combat in strategic mode. You can try "Don't get hurt" but the AS will eventually corner you. Of course,...

Re: Defensive bonus. How does it work?

That was helpful, S-J. Does this apply only to direct fire and fighters? Missiles and PD seem to hit 100% if they are in range. Yet sometimes the missile hit % is given as low as 1%. Is this based on...

Defensive bonus. How does it work?

Can anyone explain exactly how a defensive bonus of, say, 60% from an ECM component or otherwise, actually works? Does this only affect the chance of being hit, and if so, 60% of what?
Or does it...

Re: Racial Traits, Discussion on Pro\'s/Con\'s.

I have been doing some all-tech testing of the special races from the point of view of one-on-one combat to see which is best (Dreadnought size maximun). The results depend on whether you are talking...

Re: range check error in simulation

Thank, guys. You were absolutely right. I apparently copied the TDM mod path into the wrong folder after the reinstall. Incidentally, this is an excellent game - the best I have seen since civ2, and...

Fleet management in Simultaneous

I am new to simultaneous mode, and am wondering if there is any way to link two or more ships (or fleets), say, after moving two sectors, then continue as a single fleet to seek out an enemy ship on...

Re: range check error in simulation

Capnq, it is my OWN ship set and flag that changes , not one of the AI's. I happened to choose the Earth Alliance set for a custom Empire of my own definition, and with TDM mod. All went well until I...

Re: range check error in simulation

Then this must be a common occurrence, namely anytime a random AI happens to have the same ship set as chosen by the player. Seems like a bug,then. Is there no way to avoid this other than choosing a...

Re: Ship Strategy & Fleet Strategy in strategic combat-how does it work?

This has bothered me too. What we need is an option under f�ring to "fire on planets(with weapons)". As it is now, you either fire at planets or not, regardless of weapons. This should be a simple...

I deleted all my temp files, reinstalled and rebooted, but to no effect. Yes, one effect. Now every time I resume the game I have a different ship set and flag! Any more suggestions? This RCE thing...
