Re: Preventing Domino Surrender?

Increasing their use of CSM early AND making them smarter in tactical would help somewhat. There's just no way I should be able to take out a frigate and an escort with just an escort and not take a...

Re: cumulative systemwide building bonus warning?

Actually, you aren't always getting the sum of the modifiers. When building a gestation vat and a med lab in the same system, you won't get the % growth increase for the med lab (unless they're both...

Re: Retrofit cost formulae ?

According to the data files, you pay 10% of any components that need to be removed, and 70% of any components that need to be added.

Yes, it does mean you actually pay less to build a basic ship...

Ignore the score from bases, and it looked even worse. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon12.gif I could tell there were some fundamental things that could have a radical effect on...

Re: Stacking

I think he was referring to the system robotics facility(or whatever it's called). It gets to be a pain typing all that out, so quite often I find myself guilty of shortening it as well.

Re: Preventing Domino Surrender?

You guys have made some good points on the current problem, which could be alleviated by fixing any one of the following areas.

1. Blockading a planet when an empire only has that planet...

Re: TG Contest and upgrading designs in queues

Raynor, what you mention can be abusive, especially when building ringworlds and arranging things so that you only pay organics instead of all 3 resources. In general though, the consensus has been...

Re: What is Omnipresent View

It just like the settings of 'unmapped' and 'fog of war: off' that you can find in just about any strategy game these days. I'm not sure why we wouldn't be able to imagine it, it's pretty common. ...

Re: What is the effect of .......

Population growth increases with climate improvements.

Re: How in the heck are production Mods calculated?!?

Raynor's right about the formula. Basically you have to add the % increase for happiness, planet population, and race settings first, then multiply in. Planet and system facilities are multiplied...

Re: Preventing Domino Surrender?

Re: Do Planets need Cargo facilities?

That sounds somewhat sneaky, and is nice to imagine, but I'd rather not give my opposition a chance to attack a HW planet in the first place. I especially wouldn't waste facility space on a HW,...

yeah, that's so when the player does it, the game can file that in the log under 'events', I believe.
