Re: Question about P&N 3.0

Hi Gorgo,

I once had a similar problem in a non-gold game where the computer players had only space ports on their planets. This suggested to me that somehow the AI didn't get selected as...

Well, if breathability is a prerequisite to colonization... hmmm, it gives the non-oxygen breathers one heck of an advantage, no? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Would it be...

Re: Basic tech mod?

Oh, Okay,
I've been thinking that there are a lot of cool ideas out there, but that they're too low tech to be realistically used in the SEIV game as it currently stands. For example, there was a...

Re: Basic tech mod?

Hey, is there stuff going on with this thread? Last post is Last year, but I've got ideas for some 'basic' tech tree stuff, esp the biosciences... any takers?

Re: My thoughts on ship sizes.

By about the midpoint of the game I'm using the smaller ships mainly in special roles. Mine sweeper, sneaky mine layer, scout, PD ships occasionally (especially if they're older ships from the...

Re: Babylon 5 Mod

Oh pooh
I gave my original SEIV away (not worth the postage to the USA + bother). I'll need to see if I can borrow it back again. Count me in for now though.

Yup, you've stumbled upon the most (IMHO) important micromanaging manouver of the game. If your empire can gain 'citizens' that breathe another atmosphere, then you can move them back to the core of...

Re: Mine balance suggestion

Mine fields should have an upper limit to how many mines can be in them... if you wallpaper space with mines then they'll be detected by incoming ships, and so won't really be a mine field in the...

1) at what number of movement points does RCE happen?

2) does RCE only occur during normal movement, or does it happen during combat too? (that is, could an...

Re: Mine balance suggestion

I suppose it depends on which type of cloaking/scanning is going on too. In P&N (and others I'm sure) the cloaking types are changed somewhat from the normal game.

What you could do is make mines...

Re: Mine balance suggestion

The level 5 (or 6) scanner would let you see any mines, including in systems that are not "yours"... now you would have an offensive component.

Instead, how about a facility that acts as a scanner...
