Re: protectorate/subjugation treaties

I agree. I hope that the whole diplomacy system gets an overhaul in one of the future patches. So far, it is much too mechanistic. Reactions only depend on accumulated anger levels, not on...

Re: Massive Shield Generators

Build a cargo facility, load it with shielded weapons platforms and you have MUCH more shielding where necessary.
For the facility to be interesting, you have to decrease its cost and increase its...

Re: i\'m a political failure!!!

Well, "Kill'em all" is an option, but in my eyes, this threat is another indicator that the diplomacy/attitude system needsm a major overhaul. "Murderous" allies and "brotherly" ennemies steadfastly...

Re: AI Tactical Comabat Strategy

Thanks, Emperor !

However, that is a rather poor solution. I hope MM will make this a customizable element in the AI_strategies file.

AI Tactical Comabat Strategy

With 1.27, you are now able to customize the behaviour of your own fleet in terms of damage to deal to a target before switching to a new one. That is definitely a big advancement !
So far the only...

1.27: Back to the AI schizophrenia ?

I am just in my first game with 1.27. One thing that strikes me is that on one turn, the AIs offer me a treaty and two turns later, they declare it dust (and sometimes even declare war). After that,...

Re: No Maintainence a Feature?!?!

Why not just define the percentage reduction/increase values as relative instead as absolute ? So if maintenance was 20% as default and sombody took a "-50%" modifier (that could be possible then) he...

Re: Major Disappointment

Despite all justified acclamation of the potential and customizability of SE4, let's not forget why this post was originally started: because the hard-coded AI is still utterly stupid !

Re: Proposed \'Quick Fix\' for some Combat \'Anomalies\'

has anybody mailed MM about Talenns original proposition ? As far as I am concerned it is an excellent and easily implementable way to remove some of the weak spots in tactical combat.

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Adding negative "to hit" modifiers to the larger mounts already pretty much does the job, especially if you also reduce the ability to compensate for them through combat sensors. CapShips will still...

Re: Up to date beta patch info..

Tampa, I hope the "AI's better use of fleets" is not due only to a modification of the "AI strategy" file. Everybody can modify this and you mod-masters are already doing a very good job. The true...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Or do what I did in my mod:
Reduce the targeting of larger mounts by -10 for each level and reduce combat sensors and ECM to 15/30/45. This way, the evasive capacities of smaller ships become much...

Re: Emergency Build - Unfair

Adjust emergency production to 150% and the slow rate to 25%. As production is additive, you actually loose total output if you use EP in the long run (175% over two years = 87,5% of normal...

Re: Patch 3 What and When?

The two main AI issues which I have mentioned (fragmented fleet tactics and failure to follow through on attacks) cannot be mended by tweaking the AI text files. They can only be improved by changing...

Re: Small ships and mines

If you give the heavier weapon mounts (which are usually on CapShips "Combat to hit offence minus" modifiers and if you reduce combat sensors and ECM to 15/30/45, you get a very good balance between...

Re: Note from MM - AI MODDERS MUST READ THIS

Most said, let me just reiterate my 2 main concerns:

1. AI does not press its advantage
2. AI still attacks with clearly too small fleets, sometimes with single ships

Re: Darloks 1.30 Posted (finally)

Don't know whether it is due to my adjustments (but I guess not) but the emp3000 file had slightly too may points allocated. Furthermore, using the newest (1.31) Version of your race, the darlok sat...
