Re: AI and Facilities - ARGGHH

Sounds like that's some smart AI, I usually do the same kind of thing myself, four or five production units, followed by a lot of research and storage, the storage means that I quickly accumulate...

Re: Confusion now that I have 2 races....

I've found that the game decides whether or not your population needs domes by whichever race has the biggest population on the world, make sure the worlds major race can live without domes, the...

Re: How many people set their OWN planet type to ICE??

It's true, rock is the most plentiful in the universe and I consider that to be a major BUG. Just looking at our solar system alone gas giants are present in an equal number to rock with ice planets...

Re: Unmanned Probes

I usually play with other humans these days, three to four player games that take quite a while to play out, playing in cluster universes without the warp points connected keeps us from stepping on...

Re: Natives

Dirkhowitzer:

Keep in mind how little the tech level changes from one class to another, twenty years from 1950 to 1970 was enough to put us from the world war era all the ways into the space age,...

Re: Are we absolutely sure....

A better solution would be to give us more levels in each individual technology, say add in "Mineral extraction plant IV", monoliths only go up to level three, that way a level IV mineral extraction...

Re: protectorate/subjugation treaties

I've never seen the computer offer such a treaty and they only seem to accept it if I could defeat them that turn anyhow so its not much good for me to offer one either most of the time.

Re: A pirates life for me...

The nomad race is certainly different from the pirate idea because they have the chance to win, special facilities that make SPACE itself their home planet, things like being able to mine nebulae,...

Re: Nomadic Races

I like the idea of regular races being able to have populated starbases, though without anything near the full options available to a nomadic player who could build populated space STATIONS and SHIPS...

Re: Confusion now that I have 2 races....

If neither race can breath the atmosphere type it doesn't matter which race has the most population on the planet, you can mix races on a single planet, and I enjoy doing so.

The benefit of mixed...

Re: Newly aquired races planets rioting??

One easy way to get happy planets with alien races on them is to sneakilly ask for planets as gifts, returning the favor with a gift of resources to keep the stupid AI from realizing it has been...

Re: universal colonization race advantage

I think this mod would give someone way too big an advantage, if I could colonize everything with a single ship I would just send ships in every direction looking for the best worlds, alien ruins, my...

Re: Nomadic Races

Nomadic races should

A) Be available both for humans and AI

B) Be unable to colonize any planet, their planet perhaps set to none and a setting to stop them from colonizing anyhting but their...

How about "Barbaric Natives on Helius II have captured your colonists and used them to rebuild their fallen technological civilization" LOL

Re: Silly shipset idea

cool idea, wonder if it would work with real ships? I'd love to see a set based around real sailing vessels, triremes, biremes, frigates, corsairs, yachts, etc . . .

Re: A pirates life for me...

Pirates should be fairly easy to simulate, just make sure your race specializes in ground combat and ship capture, a pirate race doesn't build it's own ships too often, it takes those of others so...

Re: Want a challenge in SEIV?

I wonder if the next mod could include a setting to allow special technologies that let you LEARN how to colonize different atmospheres and planet types. It always strikes me as odd that in a normal...

Early start

I had an idea a while back and thought I'd drag it out of the closet and see what everyone thought about it. The idea was basically to allow the players to start out with no knowlege of warp points,...

Re: Nomadic Races

Re: Nomadic Races

Yes it would have to be coded in, the tech tree could probably be modded but if you left players the option to both build facilities in space and the ablity to colonize planets they'd win every time.

Does anyone else find it really annoying that the moons in the game are

A) Always small or tiny no matter how big the planet is

B) always have no atmosphere

It seems to me that I should be...
