Re: Using captured races for population

It does pay to convert domed colonies to full scale production centers.

Put most of the captured population onto a benign environment world so they can breed more rapidly. Use a single population...

Re: Planet/ship capture bonus.

Ahem..... :-) I heard that the first enigma machine fell into allied hands through the czech resistance. Can't remember where though.

Re: What would you like to see in an expansion pack

I don't think it's possible to reload a turn if you're playing multiplayer, so that isn't a problem.

I've seen lots of people discussing the Warp closer / repair bay ship as being unfair. It...

Quirks of simultaneous play in 1.30

Re: Having multiple fleets attack at once

If you're playing simultaneous turn resolution, then maneuvering 2 fleets so that they use up a move point in the same 'phase' of the turn to enter combat would work.

If you're working in tactical...

Re: Making fighters more realistic.

In the case of cargo / hangar bays, they displace lower mass of water because they're mostly empty. If it was indicating volume, the measure would be cubic meters / kilometers / feet.

Re: Map editor - neutrals
