Re: Cargo idea

CW,

Sure, you could make "instant fighters", like the Chicken Ramen II! But IMHO, that would change the balance and flavor of the game. Cargo is typically designed to be *transported and...

Re: Cargo idea

I think I disagree with this premise. Cargo, is not "combat ready", and thus, should not be able to mount a defense. Fighters, for example, as cargo, are packed for transport. If they were combat...

Re: COPYRIGHT ISSUES, RICHARD/ALL READ PLEASE!!

All,

Argh has a lot of good and valid points, but there is one thing that no one has pointed out.

Re: Simultaneous Movement

Possum,

MOST people don't explore with fleets. I've been known to do so in multi-player games (no, it wasn't me, I'm not IN any multi-player games right now!) because the other players are people...

Re: Tale of A Ship Idea That Failed

Shields do not protect against mines. Shields are considered to be "tactical" components, and are only activated during combat. That's why they don't help against mines or damaging warp points. ...

Re: Pods

Nerfman,

The biggest problem with that (though I'd love to have missile pods too!) is that you can't actually use tractor beams to TOW things. All you can do is to push stuff around in tactical...

Re: Fighters are now unbalanced

so far, this has beena really good discussion. As was pointed out, the typical (WWII-ish) walls of lead, did not do much fighter killing. Heck, for that matter, flak cannons firing into bomber...

Re: And now for something Totally off topic :)

Can't argue with that. The Honor Harrington books by David Weber just rock HARD. Some of the best military fleet action stuff I've EVER read. He really knows his stuff, and his characters and...

Re: Q: Fleet Strategies?

I've had the same problem with my Point Defense ships. I had created a strategy of Point Defense, and set to for them to NEVER break formation, and to only fire at fighters, satellites, and seekers....

Re: Opinions for Weapons Mod

As long as we're discussing weapons... are ripper beams good for ANYTHING other than leading to WMGs? I've seen Eee dreadnaughts loaded with them, and they ALWAYS get creamed, even using Strategic...

Re: Opinions for Weapons Mod

Hi All,

I also was disappointed with the WMGs in SE IV. I am playing a game where I'm experimenting with them now. What I did was to increase the damage somewhat, increased the range by +2 per...

Re: Warp Point defence

The combination of Religious Talisman and Allegance Subverter is good, in that it doesn't ever miss, but it doesn't guarantee that you'll capture the target. They just don't always work.

The Cue...

Re: Climate Control Facility ?

Questor,

Oops. Guess I should stop reading threads when I'm half asleep. No, I haven't used the climate control facilities recently, mainly because they didn't appear to be very effective. I...

Re: Climate Control Facility ?

I've been using them for the Last couple of weeks, and they have been working well for me. I colonize small planets/moons which will only hold 1 facility. Takes bunch of turns to build the...

Re: What a beautiful sight....

I've been beta-ing the pre-patch stuff for a few weeks. The Cue Cappa *regularly* send in fleets of 20+ ships, as do the Eee Consortium.

And when I saw a single Eee DN hanging out by itself I...

Re: Natives

Also consider the option of a native race that *could* develop space faring technology, but is not motivated to do so. Such races could have advanced weaponry, large weapons platforms, satellites,...

Re: Anyone read Honor Harrington?

Jason,

The Honor Harrington series is excellent, and someone a while ago did say that they planned on doing an HH mod. I wish them luck... the HH universe does not map well to the SE IV engine,...

Re: Pacifist / paralysing mines

Re: Ruin Technologies

No, it's not a bug. You can only trade in technologies that your researchers would be able to understand if you were researching them yourself. Eg, if you don't have the required base technologies...

Re: Pacifist / paralysing mines

The allegiance subverter has a damage rating in order to "damage" the crew, and thus subvert them. Eg, at long range, it has a value of 20kt. A crew quarters component has a value of 10kt. That...

Re: Pacifist / paralysing mines

Ok. Well, I still did something wrong. I tested the mines today and instead of attempting to capture ships, they blew them up! And they had ONLY my Allegiance Converted Warheads on them. Back to...

Re: Pacifist / paralysing mines

All,

Thanks!

I knew I was overlooking something... I just didn't know what.

I'll do a more thorough test tomorrow and will let y'all know if it works. If it does, I plan to do a bunch of...

Re: Pacifist / paralysing mines

I found this line of modding interesting, since way early in the beta testing I put in a request to have "special" mines based on various tech tree weapons.

To wit, I just tried it. I creatd an...

Re: Heavy Mount?

yes, it's worth it. The multiple for damage done is greater than the multiple for mass increase. I don't recall the numbers off the top of my head, but it's something like 1.5 mass for a 2x damage...

Re: SEIV/Win2k Memory Usage
