Re: So, what time of day do you think the patch...

Malfador being in CA, I wouldn't expect to see it before 9AM Pacific Time at the earliest.

SEV is now showing as available for order from the SF online store (and they're throwing in Star Fury for...

Re: OT: A Nuclear North Korea

Yes & no...

If you mean bombing Manchuria (conventional or nuclear), probably not. However, the current situation does stem from our failure to apply the first rule of Jacksonian warmaking back...

Re: OT: A Nuclear North Korea

I'm not at all optimistic. SK doesn't want NK to collapse because they inherit the mess if that happens. China doesn't want NK to collapse because hordes of starving refugees stream across their...

Re: Modding SEV Thread Questions

Re: OT: A Nuclear North Korea

Well, Bob & Doug did demonstrate an extended ability to survive underwater using beer bottles - no doubt quite useful for special ops infiltrations.

Re: OT: A Nuclear North Korea

I think it's more a matter of nobody feeling threatened by the Canadians. You know, we got Rambo & John Wayne & Clint Eastwood, whereas you got Dudley Do-Right and the McKenzie Brothers...

Re: Modding SEV Thread Questions

Is there a syntax for comments in the SEV data files?

For example, in the data files of the Paradox games, anything between a # and a carriage return is ignored, so you can insert either entire...

Re: SEV: Ship/race requests

I would like to suggest shipsets based on the Superior Models "Starfleet Wars" line of miniatures. These were produced from the late 70's/early 80's until about 2000, and are now in production again...

Re: SE:V, what\'s not working? Bugs too.

There is also a bug with robo-miners, which I also saw in the demo. As soon as you build a ship equipped with one or more robo-miners, when you click the "Empire Options" button on the top menu bar...

Re: SE:V, what\'s not working? Bugs too.

There is a bug with long range scanners. I saw it in the demo, too, but just ran a test with Standard SE5 and it does it. First time you build a ship with Long Range Scanners installed, save the...

Re: OT: A Nuclear North Korea

I fully understand that the political spectrum in the US is rather to the right of Europe. However, my understand of the one in the UK is that relative to each other the Tories are like the GOP, New...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Which actually puts it beyond the reach of most of us.

I modded my own Civ I via hex-editing the game files, but actually accomplished a fair amount (tech tree, etc...) following pretty simple...

Re: Modding Question

I would think you could create separate vehicle size entries with different tech requirements, including racial trait-limited techs.

A related question I have is whether random empires take racial...

Re: Modding SEV Thread Questions

What governs the availability of an empire to include in a new game?

I created a mod for my own preferences (essentially just settings.txt) and basically copied the Terrans to a new name. OK, I...

Re: SEV: Are there missing ship types?

Can you transfer a task force between fleets at the same location, retaining the task force name/formation/strategy?

Re: SE5: It\'s out and yet it\'s not

Ah, the C64 - actually mine was a C128, but for games that made it a sort of big footprint C64. Bought mine in 1985 to play F-15 Strike Eagle. Also loved RFTS, Pirates!, Gunship & Empire. Had to...

Re: SE5: It\'s out and yet it\'s not

No doubt because Commodore went out of business in 1994, and the last actual Amiga (as opposed to AmigaOne, which is a PowerPC) was made c. 1996. Not much potential in porting new games to...

Re: SE5: It\'s out and yet it\'s not

Got it...

Useless Parcel Service delivered it to the wrong address & I had to hunt it down in the 'hood.

Making the first edition of my "house rules" mod now.

Re: SE5: It\'s out and yet it\'s not

On Saturday I used the Gamestop web site to check store availability, and of the 20 or so Gamestop or EB stores within 30 miles none had it and only 3 or 4 were showing it "on the way". I called the...

Re: Where are they!!?!??!

Nobody has actually had the ability to work on mods yet except the betas (and maybe the Aussies for a couple of days), and the betas may still be constrained by the "official" 10/16 release date.

Re: [OT] The Bush-bashing thread.

Re: SE5: It\'s out and yet it\'s not

Maybe for industrial-scale stuff like that, but I've ordered retail goods from Canada before - including PC software - and never had any duty charged.
