Re: PPB is the best weapon in the game. Discuss.

The thing with the PPB's and range is that in order to fire you must get within their range, 6 I think, so all direct fire weapons will have a chance to hit. This is where the other modifiers come...

Re: PPB is the best weapon in the game. Discuss.

One thing to remember about range is you must have sensors/experiance for it to be an advantage. At range 10 any standard weapon has 0% to hit if no other modifiers come into play. Also as pointed...

Re: What difficulty settings do you use

dogscoff's way is a great way to get into it fast. For a real slugfest do small map high tech 10 homeworlds and 5-8 players. You will most likely be at war in less than 10 turns.

Re: Is this a bug?

Without you being able to capture ships with destroyed MCs the Physic AI races would be at a severe disadvantage. I have yet to see a standard race use boarding or MC's. If it didn't work this way...

Saxon hit the nail on the head. Most consumers don't care how it works, why it works or if there is a better way of making it work. They want something simple to use that works with the programs they...

Re: When is the best time to use emergency build?

I use it when I am building facilities that take more than one turn on a planet that only holds 1-5 facilities. Usually these planets do't build much later so the slower production time does't matter...

Re: OT = How Does Shrapnel Stay In Business

I know that if you are convinced something can't be done you are beaten. I believe anything is possible, especially if you don't know any better.

Re: Quibbles

The biggest problem I have with the culture modifiers is that too many of them allow you to get something for nothing. I think each one should have more negative effect than positive effect. That way...

Re: Brand new with questions : )

Build your Bsy using a Base not a Ship. In the beginning you can only build one with a yard component and very little else. After you research larger bases you can add weapons and defenses.
