Re: Racial Tech Advantages

What you pick for racial traits will vary somewhat if you are playing AI's or people. As someone earlier noted, you can afford trade at 50% because once the mega evil AI triggers, trade will do you...

Re: Starbases and Satellites useless

In strategic combat, missle satelites are useful for giving a cheap defense to a planet early in the game. Missle ships cannot target them, but must avoid their missles.

Best use of bases is to...

Re: Want new buttons?

Ahhhh...

This thread reminds of one of my pet-pieves. Numerical values that have to be set via buttons. I prefer editable boxes where I can type the number myself.

Re: Please, opinions on upkeeps

I like the idea of paying maintenance on resupply rather than continuously. How does a ship off in deep space exploration cost its empire upkeep (accrual accounting, I guess)? It should be charged...

Use of Ministers

Does anyone have any advise to share on using Ministers in the game? I hardly use them, but I could probably run my turns much faster if I did. I'd be interested in know what works well, then I'd...

Re: Pop Reproduction rate mod possible?

I've noticed in 1.11 you can only set your population growth as low as 91% of the base line rate. I used to go to 80% to get points for other things I wanted. However, my 'unhappy' worlds are now...

Re: \"Slow production\"

The emergency/slow production thing ought to be reworked, because you actually get more net production if you alternative between slow and emergency every other turn. 50% + 200 % &gt; 100% + 100%. This...

Re: Maintenance Formula

Re: Some thoughts on mines and mine sweepers

I forgot to add. Take out mines and you take a little edge off of defense making the game more interesting. "Best defense is a good offense".

Re: Some thoughts on mines and mine sweepers

Mines ought to have an exponential function for missing. Miss Chance = (.95) ^ Number of Mines. That way, there is always a chance of making it through the minefield. Hit chance = 1 - Miss Chance....

Re: Sweeping Mines

How do mines work in Strategic mode? If they get cleared on movement, it sounds like one could establish a mine field and put some on a transport with a mine dispenser. The transport would lay new...

Re: Shielded fighter tactics, a new secret weapon???

With Strategic combat, you would probably need to put shields on all of the fighters as you could not orchestrate the order of movement to draw the fire.

Re: Depleted Uranium Cannons to powerful!

With regard to missles, it seems they are useful to force your opponent to research and deploy Point Defenses. However, they will probably do so anyway to take out Fighters. Large Mount Weapons are...
