Re: Fighters are tractor beams

T. S. -

It's more than an exploit.

It is a basic problem for simul battle planning.

What it means is that any ship with PDCs simply cannot ever be trusted to follow it's individual strategy....

Fighters are tractor beams

Yep, realllly!

Frustrated that your baseships (or dreadnoughts) can't catch those BBs or BCs or others using a max range strategy?

No problemo! Just tuck a fighter bay into the design and...

Re: Q - shielded fighters and anti-shield weapons

oleg -

To answer your Q, I have seen some TDM AIs throw hundreds of shielded fighters into the battle. This is especially true against non-domed Large and Huge planets. PDCs, even the highest...

Re: Redundancy is good, but Q Rx + 2 x Solar coll?!

Redundancy is good, but Q Rx + 2 x Solar coll?!

I am in a game w/AIs only. One of them is the 1.49 TDM Romulan Empire.

For some odd reason, the Heavy Carrier ship design has a quantum reactor and two solar collector IIIs.

Is there any...

Q - shielded fighters and anti-shield weapons

Often, a stack of fighters (say 20) will be targeted by my ships non-PDC weapons in Simultaneous Movement games.

If the fighter design includes one or more shields, then shield-sapping weapons...

The Q: How many ships would the Rage build?

I started a non-Gold game, simul move, max tech, 3 Homeworlds, no intel, no mines, no stellar manip in a large-medium galaxy. I tweaked the Rage to...

Re: The Maddening Multiplex

Am I right, then, that this phenomenon is a bug?

It seems worse for planet WP stacks and Bases, almost as bad for BaseShips.

Does it affect only non-Gold games?

Re: The Maddening Multiplex

I experience the problem even when I do not direct the shooter to switch targets after a set damage inflicted.

That is, even if I have it set not to shift fire until after the target is destroyed,...

The Maddening Multiplex

The way I thought Multiplex worked was as follows:

1) PDC do not need it

2) Shooter picks a target per Fleet and Empire options and shoots until target destroyed or shooter runs out of...

Re: Neural Net and Talisman - a question

Of course, as I had said, I was referring to the non-Gold Version of the game. In that Version, the player order dictates the combat execution order.

If I have it right, every ship in a fleet...

Allegiance Subverter and Computer Virus Qs

I am unsure of certain aspects of these things. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Hpw does one level the playing field with the AIs?

I only play TDM races.

The other more exotic, game-altering Mods concern me. If I must, I will - but later.

Hpw does one level the playing field with the AIs?

I always play high difficulty and low or medium bonus, but what "must" I do to level the field?

- I can get unfair advantages in intel, so I disallow that,

- Mines are just a simple way to a...

Re: Aquilaeians - and shield-skipping weapons (Master Belisarious, thx!)

Yes, and I confirmed it, just to prove it to myself. I did it in the Simulator and then I went to a saved game, built the test ships, then gifted them to the AI and proceeded to beat on them.

Aquilaeians - and shield-skipping weapons (Master Belisarious, thx!)

The AI of these guys is wonderful in combat!!

What a neat hedgehog! Reminds me of Royal Marines forming square in the Hornblower and Sharpe stories - though the Aq's do not use a square.

Training facilities - and the AIs

In short, do they use them? Do they even build them?

I ask this because, if they do not, I should probably not allow them in my games against the AIs. I already do not do tech trades and allow...

Re: To Tampa Gamer - a question

Ouch!

I did not know that!

I thought that I had seen the AI lunge for ruins worlds ... to the point of sending colony ships hopeless distances beyond range, at times.

Oh, well.

I have added the Ponderosa to my empire, but that's not why I'm posting this. :-)

To Tampa Gamer (Colonials)

Thank you!

I want to relate a quick, er, "close encounter" I just had with your Colonials. High Diff, Low Bonus, non-Gold TDM.

They started in an adjacent system, and soon declared war on me. ...

Re: SPACE EMPIRES IV GOLD NOTICE - PLEASE READ!
