Re: At What Point Do You Know You Have Won

Re: At What Point Do You Know You Have Won

Re: Drone questions!

I'm still not convinced of their utility, but I'm willing to try again in my new Proportions 2.3 game - it's possible to build up a useful stockpile of such things in that.

Re: Planetary defense measures.

Personally, I'd have said that the best defence is a superior fleet: any fixed defence can be beaten, even by the AI - and a Human player, well, all sorts of ways!

We're talking about the...

Re: Proportions 2.3 released

My mistake - I saw 'unmothball' and read 'refit' for some reason http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I see exactly what you mean - and I'm doing just that in my current game.

Re: About Malfadors Web Site

My 2p:
I don't agree that Aaron's site needs a makeover. The 'What's new' has a pretty reasonable history on it. The only thing it could use is a direct link to this forum, and I guess Richard & co...

Proportions Mod: Strange Upgrades

Just started with this one really, and I noticed something a little odd: If you've got ECM or Combat Sensors III and upgrade your ship, they'll go to 1a - which, though smaller, is less effective. I...

Re: Drones

Well, thanks for the replies, guys.

I guess I'll just have to try a few things and see how they work.

I also believe that if I'd tried looking in the html manual first instead of the printed...

Re: Drones

Wait, I'm missing something.

I wasn't aware that drones could move on the main map! I thought they were tactical only.

How do you launch/target them, how do you move them?

Re: Drones

Fine & dandy all, but is half-a-dozen 100kT Drones better than a 600kT Battlecruiser? Your BC is going to be more versatile, and can be refitted.

I can see the maintenance aspect; but I confess...

Better off going for the next level in resupply anyway...

Drones

OK, I got Gold, so now I'm thinking:

"What possible use are Drones?"

Given what it costs to make them, aren't you better off with ships?

Is it that they don't require maintenance?
