Re: SE4 and the Navy

I do believe that there would have to be an entirely new branch of the armed services for space warfare. No earth based branch has any experince flying spaceships, not the Navy, Airforce, Army, or...

Re: Massive Space Yards

I like the idea of bigger space yards, but making them as big as suggested would make temporal space yards useless.

repair

Is there any chance that repairing will be changed from component based to resource based? This would make a lot more sense obviously. It would also bring a whole new element of strategy to the...

Re: OT - We never landed on the Moon

Oh my GOD!! Please tell me no one here is really stupid enough to believe FOX that we did not go to the moon. If you believe that, then I have some ocean-front property in Colorado I am looking to...

Re: Bug - Asteroid w/ sphere/ring world

Sure its obvious the star has been negated by the ring/sphere world (though a ring world should have no effect on the star since there are plenty of other directions for the light to escape through...

Re: Armor, Shields and Damage (FAQ)

Wow, that is some damn fine research work. Definitely organic armor should not add up extra points if there is no partial damage.

" But this gets messy. How does this "damaged" list indicate...

Re: Atmosphere

"Hmmm. I'd say that if the net gravitational force on an object is zero, that by definition, all the gravitational forces have canceled out. Gravity is not like pressure in the example you give. For...

Re: Too many planets

Well, my theory on Gas Giant colonization is that they are in some sort of massive space station that orbits the planet within the atmosphere. This would be quite feasible, especially if there was...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

I know there are experiments supporting special relativity. However, general relativity does not assume light is some ultimate speed, nor does it assume that it is a constant speed. Furthermore,...

Re: Atmosphere

Krakenup, I have given up on you. I really don't have a clue why we keep saying the same things differently and keep thinking the other one is wrong. The original argument I was making was that the...

Re: Resources and Monoliths

Um, well, regaining initial investments are irrelevant. Remember, whatever resources you do not spend are immediately lost. If you have a surplus of resources every turn, then payback is totally...

Re: Atmosphere

First off, yes, the 3520 was a typo, one I noticed and thought I fixed, but apparently did not.
Now, no no no, density has nothing to do with gravity. It is only distance and mass, and density is...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Yeah technically nothing can ever be proven. However, there comes a point at which numerous experiments and calculations, etc. consistantly fail to disprove a theory. At this point it becomes a...

Re: Multiple shipyards

Hey modders, heres a question for you.
Many folks have been asking for multiple shipyards to assist in production or give multiple queues. My question: can you design a facility called say,...

Re: Atmosphere

Well, I looked up planet surface gravity, and all kinds of other stuff just to find out where you got your information. Yes, I did find plainly given stats that claimed the surface gravity compared...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Again, I will say that relativity is unproven. Nothing manmade has ever traveled to any significant portion of the speed of light, and if you want to believe it as fact, thats fine, but the truth is...

Re: Atmosphere

Um, where did you get that 'surface gravity' information? I hope you realize that gravity is a function of mass, not density. There also is absolutely no scientific information about the 'surfaces'...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Yep, a ship sure can turn to be able to fire all of its weapons at one target. But, it would take quite a while to do so if it had an inertial propulsion system. A dreadnought trying to aim its...

Re: Do colony ships build too quickly?

Well, personally, I would rather make all ships much more expensive based on class. I really think its too easy to build a whole bunch of warships real quick.
I also think that maintainance is a...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Yes, there sure are particles and gravity effects in space. However, both of these become much more irrelevant the farther you get from a gravity source.
The gravitational force is proportional...

Re: A few humble supplications to MM

But as for in game rebellions, I simply make sure the population is always happy so that...

Re: A few humble supplications to MM

I generally like those ideas. I don't know that it would be a great idea for ships to randomly join rebellions though. Maybe if another component or facility or something were added to the game...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Just want to mention some things.
1) There is no such thing as ballistics in space (vacuum, no gravity effects). All standard weapons will travel straight until they hit something else. I believe...

Re: stealth armor not working

Planets do not have a default psychic, gravitational, or temporal sensor ability unless you have researched the appropriate areas. If this were the case, then stealth armor would not work at all...

Re: Too many planets

I really don't find it unrealistic that races can colonize any planet type if they research it. If you want to base it on something like a race is born on a solid, rock planet, they should easily be...
