Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I do believe it is filmed in Australia somewhere, which is probably why they have so many Aussie accents & such on the show.

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

The Importance of Organics

I've only played a few solo games so far, but I'm curious about the seeming lack of importance on Organics. Almost never have I been short on this resource, or found the need to build more than a...

Tech Trading - newbie question

Let's say I'm at level 9 in a given tech field, and an ally is at level 2. If we trade tech in that field, does the other guy get bumped all the way up to level 9? Or does he simply get a bump to...

Score History in Multiplayer (PBW)

I'm in my first multiplayer game via PBW, and have a question. I see that the game was set up so that we can never view the other players' scores, but I also notice that I cannot see my own score...

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

So Farscape gets cancelled, but somehow Lexx continues to live. Life is unfair.

Re: Favorite Aspect of SEIV

Re: Weapon Platforms @ Warp Point - Newbie Question

FYI - the weapons platforms simply sit takign up cargo space, and they "just work" when they are needed.

Re: Newbie Question: Neutal Races

Re: Malfador Patches, Additions, and Player Mods

When a planet is attacked, is there any set order or priority at which things are targetted? I.e. weapons platforms vs. facilities vs. population vs. cargo? If so, what is it, and is it fixed?
