Re: Game Manual in HTML Format ??????

I can't believe people actually read the manuals past what they need to know to get started. :} I find them usually to be more trouble than they are worth. I would much rather learn by doing. You...

Re: Go vote, you slackers

I seriously hope not. The more attorneys get involved ( in games or in real life ) the more money they make and the more every one else gets screwed. Regardless of the result, we need to move on...

Re: Go vote, you slackers

I did early this morning. Haven't missed an election for almost 30 years, even when I was overseas. Remember, a lot of people died so that you could have this right.

Re: So when is it going to be released for those of us that Pre-Ordered?NT

Offical shipping date according to the web page is Nov. 7, I believe. I expect they will ship it then.

Re: Order of Operations

I suspect this is to support the multi-player function. At the end of the turn, everything is resolved so that the next turn can be generated. That would help explain what you are seeing.

Re: Will we see this game by Christmas?

I can say it, but why? They have given you a release date. The only problem that caused a delay was files that did not get included. They had the strange idea that it would be better for the...

Re: Mining an enemy planet

True, but unless you have serious cloaking tech, the ship that lays them is not. I know I would be very curious about a minelaying ship that just happens to come visiting. Wouldn't you?

Re: Mining an enemy planet

Now that is evil. However, I suspect if you try it in a multi player game you will draw a reaction that will not be favorable for you. :}

Re: Mining an enemy planet

I suspect that a new ship entering the mine field would have set it off.

Re: Quadrant Types vs Starting Planet Type

Yeah, with the ancient systems, planets of all types are few and far between. You pays your dues and takes your chances. I still prefer the gas giants overall, though. There may be plenty of tiny...

Re: Quadrant Types vs Starting Planet Type

I've played with several, but not all. I have always found that the gas giants are the best, due to the size advantage if nothing else.

The different types and ages of galaxies do present...

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

Good question. I'm not sure I have an answer either. It could well be a combination of both. I tend to design my ships for my style of play in tactical combat which may not translate over to ...

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

Currently, you cannot get tech by capturing a planet, even if the planet you capture has tech (buildings or structures ) that are more advanced than yours. I don't know it they intend to change that...

Re: Depleted Uranium Cannons to powerful!

Phased shields are the six level ( I believe ) of the shield tech tree.

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

For all the multi-player games, the combat is simultaneous. I haven't messed with the demo, so I can't say what is going on there.

I do know that the computer does better with simultaneous that...

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

I have had fleets engaged with missles ( usually targeted at one ship ) where all the ships in range of the missles will fire their PD until all the missles are destroyed.

I don't know about...

I'll answer what I can. Some of this would have to be answered by Malfador.

Re: Depleted Uranium Cannons to powerful!

Right now , in a multi player game, we have an AI race using anti-matter torpodoes against two human houses and completely trashing us. If these aren't powerful enough, I don't want to see the...

Re: Delayed ??

You should go to the home page of Shrapnel games and read their press release. It explains it all. The delay is slight and should not significantly affect arrival of the game.

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

You have the choice to give the AI advantages or not, but from what I can tell it does not cheat. We are in a multi-player game where the AI is busy kicking the butt off two human players that are...

Re: Shields revisited

Re: Has ramming changed?

I've used ramming once. It seemed like a waste of a ship, but it was an antique, so it seemed like a better use for it than scrap. I don't know how it worked in earlier Versions, but in this one,...

Re: How does SEIV compare to SMAC?

Mine hates computer games but will sit on the computer for hours playing solitare. It bores me to tears, but it's hard to kick her off. You are really lucky.

Re: Ground Combat

It would be fun, but is hard ( if not impossible ) to do in a simultaneous game. It can be done in a PBEM, but can also bog down the turns. For single play, it should be possible, but would take a...
