Re: Newbie question? Which MOD should I use?

Re: Bug - Asteroid w/ sphere/ring world

Actually to create the ring/sphere world you should really have to use up the planets in that system and maybe some surrounding systems to get the mass to build the world. So it wouldn't matter that...

Re: Help! Ran out of stuff to research!!

Re: Supply questions

The way to keep your system safe from an enemy wormhole attack is to open 10 wormholes to safe systems. Then no one can open one to that system. When you want to open a new one just close one of the...

Re: Supply questions

The problem with making it unrepairable the way its set up now is that flag is only set on unresearchable technology. That means if you can build stellar manipulation you can repair it. That would be...

Re: Colony question from a newbie

You might want to also put a cargo container on your colonizer that way you start with 34M people up to 54M at level III cargo component. Otherwise if you don't want to do that throw a supply crate...

Re: Race characteristics - what\'s hot... what\'s not

Advanced storage and propulsion expert seem better to me than most of the other racial traits. If you like having an offensive punch Organic is the way to go. Temporal and Psycic have some benifits....

Re: Pacifist / paralysing mines

Allegence converters probably only work in combat. Mine attacks may not be considered combat in the terms of the game engine so it may not work. The "damage" is probably the only thing that is...

Re: Massive loss of fighters - please help!!!

Well the next patch that comes out will fix the problem and the Mod pack and other mods have fixed it already. Basically there is a misprint in the AI Design files (in the races folder) that calls...

Re: Next Patch Suggestion

I always leave the space yards on the planets. What use is a planet with nothing to build? Why not use those planets to pump out ships to use. Producing a lot of resources is useless if it just gets...

Re: AI colony ship design

I have to say that initially I didn't like the supplies taken out of the ships because some of them tend to run out of supplies even with them. But after playing the mod for a while I found that it...

Re: Null-Space superior to Phased??
