Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...

The easiest solution to this is if MM would implement a new HOMEWORLD colony design for STARTING planets. Seems like it'd be fairly simple too.

Re: Blockade Runner ship class

Not to mention if your propulsion experts http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif, it'll get you a combat speed of 7... who needs a retreat option?

Re: Ramming/Kamakazi tactics

FYI, if you ram and both ships survive, then both ships will occupy the same "square", not really that important but an interesting side note... as this means the restriction that ships can't occupy...

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...

The other option is simply to add more population modifiers in setting.txt, since your big planets will eventually have more popualtion... if you base production/construction more on population...

Re: Using captured races for population

uhhh....

okay, let's say you've got 10M pop.,
after 1 year: 10 x 1.3 = 13 (and that's not counting the compound intrest that adds per turn)

3 years: 16.9 x 1.3 =...

Re: Fighters are now unbalanced

I think fighters are just fine being the way they are, my reason:

Manuverability.... Engines on fighters are exposed to more "surface area" than the capital ships, this means they have more...

Re: \"Primitive\" tech tree

Just a nit-pick, fusion drives are more advanced that Ion Engines (Which we have and use today)... Fission Rockets are about the same "level", the diffrence is speed to fuel usage... The Nuclear...

Re: Using captured races for population

It depends how long your games Last, figure that on a goog conditions planet... the population will increase 10 fold in 10 years, 100x in 20 years, 1000x in 30 years (WAY to fast if you ask me).... ...

Re: components.bmp; An FYI.

You can do that with almost all of the .bmp's, the facility.bmp, Planets.bmp, Beam.bmp, etc. So far the only one it dosen't seem to work for is Main.bmp (I wanted to add more missile pics ...

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...

Yeah, primitives would be cool... especially if each primitive had a special tech...
