Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

SJ,
Your idea regarding the use of 0 damage in the intervening ranges does work.
I have watched several large battles and the AI ships will standoff whilst firing, whilst the PD does only fire when...

Re: AI DEAD MATCH CONTEST!

@Alpha Kodiak,
In my games (large galaxies, high difficulty, low bonus, 19 modpack races) I generally find the Rage to be between 6th to 10th place across the first 100 turns (I include them in all...

Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

SJ,
But on other occaisions the ship would be firing and scoring (reduced) damage when it would not currently be able to do so.

Anyway, the 0 damage option is the best way ahead and I'll road...

Re: AI and resources

Rexxx,
There certainly is an over-ride on the planet designation routine. I'm not sure whether it is a ratio of the nett production to storage or what.
I usually find that giving the AI at least a...

Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

SJ,
Just two things:

1) Does the 0 damage setting prevent triggering of PD? (havent tried it myself yet),
2) My proposal to phase in damage was intended to try and average out the effects of...

Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

@Phoenix-D
I take your point about PD opening up just before they can do normal damage but that can be managed somewhat by say phasing in the damage a little earlier:

Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

The only downside to the PD mod is that when the enemy is down to just satellites, ships armed only with missiles end up engaging the satellites with their PD at range 19 where they do minimal damage...

Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

A possible thought I had an an interim fix to the problem was to redesign the point defence component with a much longer range but have the damage at long range as only 1pt.

eg:

Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

Hmmm,
I did try that without any real change in the AI's tactics (as evidenced by the extract).

Re: v1.78f Borg, Jraenar, Klingons, Praetorian, Romulans, Shadows, UkraTal

@Uknown_enemy,
Thanks again for the feedback. Do you think that the Borg need to be toned down a little or do you welcome them as a good inclusion to make for a harder game?

Re: v1.78f Borg, Jraenar, Klingons, Praetorian, Romulans, Shadows, UkraTal

@Uknown_Enemy

Thanks for the report.
One of the difficulties I have found with making the Borg so aggressive is that they do tend to be at war with most of their neighbours, which puts them at a...

Re: BORG AI lacking punch

Because of the way the tech tree is structured, Borg Cruisers and Battlecruisers should be PPB armed (and therefore pretty nasty). One thing I have thought of relates to battle orders. Most of...

Do you have any specific observations of why they...
