Re: Oh, this is fun!

I've never played this game against a human and I'm sure I'd get my butt beat a few times before I learned the ropes.
In other games where I've played pbem it always amazes me how different humans...

Re: Oh, this is fun!

That's interesting!
I like heavy satellites myself.40-50 of those will take out any AI fleets. If I arm them with missles I seem to lose quit a few.So I stick to something like the phased energy...

Re: Oh, this is fun!

You're right about the designations of the ship sizes.
However,I'm old school(and very old too!) and I like to use the designations used in WW2 for my ships rather than names.Makes it much easier...

Re: Oh, this is fun!

From light cruisers on up there seem to be 2-3 point defense guns per ship.
There doesn't seem to be too many(if any) on weapons platforms tho,from what I see.
I seldom run across base ships but...

Re: Oh, this is fun!

I can see I still have a lot to learn about this game!
I finally developed heavy fighters and just produced enough for a heavy carrier.Now to see how they fare against point defense guns!...

Re: Oh, this is fun!

To keep my costs down I usually have swarms of DDs and CLs even in the end game.Then I play tactical battles if I'm not overwhelming.
The AI seems to like to ignore the smaller ships and makes a...

Re: Oh, this is fun!

I know what you mean.Sometimes the planets will be armed to the gills with large weapons platforms and with the latest tech they'll take out a fleet of 30 ships in no time.
Then I have to redesign...

You've got a good point. I've managed to build a couple of those systems where asteroids are around a star and then built a couple of ring worlds. Then I transfered populations like crazy into them...

Re: Oh, this is fun!

Yeh, I was thinking he'd have to copy those tactics as having large defending fleets in all your systems isn't practical.
I guess if it's late in the game and you have the technology you could make...

Other races don\'t ever recognize me.

I've got a game going where I've developed warp point open and closing early.
So,because I like to be left alone I just seal off my empire until I want to expand then open a warp point.
My question...

Ship icon angles-what do they mean?

When you're perusing you fleets and ships or when they are orbiting a planet,often the ship's icons are at different points of the clock,like 12,10 etc. What does this mean?
Thanks!

Re: The Case of the Spurting Ships(tech question)

Re: Noobie Question(s)

When you design your own race and you use something like 3000 racial points and then start a regular game,do the random AI's race add extra points over the normal 2000?
