Re: SE:V v1.63 Available

Disclaimer: I don't actually have SEV, so this is just a guess.

As in SEIV, you can fill a construction queue with, for example, a ringworld's full load of monoliths, and then save the queue. On...

Re: APBs.... alternatives?

DUC is king of the early game, and PPB wins mid game. APBs are the best only in the late game. It costs a ton of research points to get high level APBs and they don't get better than DUCs and PPBs...

Re: Your WP defence: Mines, satellites or bases?

Mines I just launch directly from planets.

Satellites I don't think I've ever used for anything but detecting cloaked ships yet.

I have used defense bases exactly once, in the 11-player...

Re: PBW status

I can't access PBW. Strangely, my browser never gives up and displays an error message, it just keeps on trying with no result.

Re: SEIV

All of those could be due to missing images, I think. Install the Image Mod and they should go away. Note that unlike actual gameplay mods, the Imagemod should be installed in the base SEIV...

Re: How accurate is...

Ships and bases are weighted far more heavily than they should be, technology is weighted far too lightly and doesn't take the cost of each tech or its actual usefulness into account, and units,...

Re: PBW status

Same here, had to download a turn directly from the site.

Also, now I'm getting an Internal Server Error when I try to access PBW.

Re: OT: Looking for a good physics site

I'll see if I can work out the math for a least-time position only intercept, assuming the target has constant acceleration and the only variable is what direction the missile accelerates in.

Re: A Fleet of One

I'm pretty sure a strategy set to not fire on planets would work as long as Don't Get Hurt isn't involved. If no valid targets for the strategy are present, however, and the ship happens to wander...

Re: How many planets...

Depends on how much of an effect and how many troops each of his planets has. Every planet you glass causes more unhappiness, but every troop he has on each planet causes some happiness to balance...

Re: A Fleet of One

If the fleet's strategy is set to break formation, the ships revert back to their individual strategies. If the fleet's strategy is set to Don't Get Hurt, that particular strategy happens to be...

Re: OT: Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

The first book is not enough to judge the entire series. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer/Philosopher's Stone is definitely a kids book. As the series goes on, it gets both darker and more mature with...

Re: Neutral Races

The Puppet Political Parties intelligence project has a chance of causing the target planet to split off into its own empire. As far as I know that's the only way to create new empires midgame.

Re: How do I save ship designs?

As I recall, there's a bug that designs that use mounts don't get saved.

Re: OT: Game Theory/Statistics

It's a simple enough game I'm sure there's a reasonably easy (for a game theorist) to prove optimal strategy, but it's probably one of those situations where the optimum is to randomly pick which of...

Re: Eeek, am I doomed?

The in game description of emissive armor isn't quite accurate. Hits for 30 damage or less are indeed completely negated, but hits for more than 30 damage get reduced by 30 as well. It only works...

Re: Eeek, am I doomed?

I had some problems I'd rather not talk about in RL and let the game fall by the wayside when I really shouldn't have. I could come back to it now, but I see that Nivek is back already.

BTW, that...

Re: Eeek, am I doomed?

The other 4% comes from racial and/or cultural bonuses. "Average" covers the whole range from 100% to 104%, plenty of room for a mere 4% difference to show up without changing the description to the...

Re: Vanishing Planets

Yes. If you check the history file for SEIV you should find a note about fixing a bug with cloaking facilities on planets. Note that cloaking facilities do not exist in stock.

Re: How to mod a starting planet?

Re: How to mod a starting planet?

There are two possible ways I can think of for you to start with a domed planet. First, you're playing with a pregenerated map with your start location marked. Second, you're playing with a mod...

Re: Space Empires IV Modding Questions

1) No. The existing abilities allow for a lot of possibilities, but this isn't one of them and you can't make new ones. Sector damage would be the closest you could get without using an AI player,...
