Re: Conquered races - additional benefit: forced migrations and growing of planets

The racial bonus being retained was addressed in a post about a month or two ago. While it would be cool and more realistic, it would greatly throw the balance of the game off. The AI would be...

Re: Racial Tech Advantages

I use the speed bonus racial modifier. I helps in ship combat and exploration.

Re: Getting Empires to Stop Warring on Me?

Don't forget that you can force them into peace by having a higher score than them. Build more ships, colonize and destroy some of their ships and colonies.

Re: Shield Generators

While the self-destruct device would be a cause for concern in multi-player games, I have yet to see the AI use one. Also there is no reason to place marines on a BC, a small ship serves the purpose...

Shield Generators

Been gone for awhile so I'm not sure if this has been covered. Still playing the demo til Christmas since my lovely wife won't let me open my present early.

I (somewhat foolishly) designed a ship...

Re: Why no Infantry?

I would agree that infantry has a support function in tank combat, but I wonder about the need to include them in this game. The ground combat system is not this game's strong point and infantry...

Re: Supply bug?

I've retrofitted a number of ships at planets without resupply depots without this problem. I have not run the test described but it sounds like the problem is when a combination of engines and...

Re: Supply bug?

Did the ship have engines? If so then it would have supplies when built.

Re: Ancient Ruins

LintMan hits it pretty much square on the mark. I would like to note that it is possible to gain more than one "normal" tech level from a ruin.
Once gained Rec 2, AP beam 2 and Orgainc Ext 2 from...

Re: Starting Planet Type question.

Talenn and rest,
Gas giants are usually the "best", however that depends on the quadrant type. Check out a few games with Ancient quad, and you'll see rock/ice far out number gas giants. I had a...

Re: Planetary bombardment(genocide)

I agree that a population should be harder to destroy from space with beams/direct fire weapons. One can wipe out a 1000 mil planet with platforms with 3-4 LC's (armed w beams)in one combat. Maybe...

Re: A research question

That's what so great about Space Empires; you can have them. Just design them and add them to your files. Getting the AI to use them is a different story.

Re: Mining an enemy planet

It would be really interesting to have mines that you can trigger remotely. That way you could trigger them after combat if dropped during combat, or if the "mined" planet builds a ship. Damage...

Re: Depleted Uranium Cannons to powerful!

Saben,
I agree with your statement:

Re: Quadrant Types vs Starting Planet Type

Comar,
I plan on examining it over the next few days. The size of gas planets is the main advantage, but the quad I am in now is averaging less than 0.5 gas planets (of any atmosphere) per...

Quadrant Types vs Starting Planet Type

I remember a post awhile back about what starting planet type was the best. It talked about planet size vs number of planets.
One thing not mentioned (nor mentioned anywhere I could find) was...

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

Comar,
Does the AI do better with sim. combat or is it just that your ships do worse?

Re: Depleted Uranium Cannons to powerful!

Re: Some questions to the beta-guys and the community

You do not automatically gain technology for capturing/converting an enemy planet. This is the same with gaining an enemy ship, it is not until you analyze a ship that you gain any tech. I can not...

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

Good, I would expect no less from MM. But why cann't the AI do this in demo 0.99? I thought that was based on the gold code. Are you using sim. combat or tactical?
Demo 0.99 AI is vastly improved...
