Re: Ship size vs. weapons

Here is what I think we should do to make ship classes more useful. Based on the theories that the larger the weapon, the less useful it is on a smaller ship, I think we should have to-hit penalties...

Re: stealth armor not working

Did the other guy have sensors of any type in the sector? That would detect him right quick.
Also, it has been noted that stealth does not seem to work when coming through warp points. Maybe if...

Re: Interface improvement suggestions for patch

I would like if the planets window did not display any planets that there is no known path to. For example, if you shut off yourself by closing warp points, yet know about several systems outside...

Re: Diplomacy/Intelligence Suggestion

I really would like some form of atrocities in the game. It would give you incentives to capture planets, not destroy them. It would hopefully drastically affect relations with other empires, etc. ...

Re: Intelligence problems

I agree totally. Order Snafu does nothing except make you find that ship and reset its orders. It would be much better if you were not notified at all, so for you to figure out, you either had to...

Re: Ship size vs. weapons

I love that idea man!! Email that to Aaron, he can probably figure out the best balance for improved hull types.

Re: A thought on killing planets

I understand what you are saying, but all that ecosystem stuff really does fall under planet conditions. But I do agree with your assessment that a planet with really bad conditions should force the...

Re: A thought on killing planets

Radiation decreasing "naturally"? Do you know how long that would take? This is way beyond the time scope of the game. A Hiroshima-style bomb takes about 60 years for radiation to decline to...

Re: Please voice your support the following Victory condition for SE4:

The population idea is not a bad idea for victory, but the AI would be no challenge. It is pretty inept at moving its population around, and unless its an organic race, those population levels will...

Re: Unrealistic Movement Point System

Thats a much simplifed, but more or less accurate description of orbital mechanics Barnacle Bill. Anyways, by doing orbital transfers, you save an immense amount of fuel, and thus spacecraft mass. ...

Re: A thought on killing planets

Actually, I think it should be impossible to completely wipe out a population from a breathable planet, unless you are using plague and/or neutron bombs. Its pretty historic that airstrikes alone,...

Re: Unrealistic Movement Point System

From what I recall, it already costs MPs to colonize, battle, most stellar manipulations, and lots of other things. As far as troop embarkment/debarkment, refueling, and other ship/ship or...

Re: Kind of off topic, yet not.

Well maybe the guy doesn't realize that it takes a little more intelligence to play these games than it does to play those reaction fest-Doom clones. Nothing wrong with those games, they can be...

Re: The Ship Class You Use Most

Not me. I use colony ship hulls only through the first part of the game. Once I get to light cruisers though, I upgrade my colonizers and make them faster, longer range, and higher capacity...

Re: Remote minning

Remote mining would be infinitely more useful if we could mine inhabited planets. Great for research centers, military bases, etc. I think if MM does anything to remote mining, it should allow the...

Re: I am bummed out

Re: New \"Game-Over\" Review of SE4

I really don't understand what this guy is complaining about. Is he upset about the time it takes to play out a battle in tactical mode or is he complaining about the way the computer auto-calcs...

Re: Wanted: Savegame ConVersion!

It's just not possible. You can't possibly change the components on a ship effectively from mod to mod. What if you have a ship with PPBs on it at 30 kts each. Lets say the next patch or mod...

Re: Multitracking

Well, thats why you put point defense on your ships. Fighters rarely get past it. And a baseship can definitely hold a lot of PD weapons. I try for at least 8 to 10 on my baseships. Thats...

Re: AI late game Ship Designing problems (turns 100+)

Re: Trading Tricks? I need Gas Giant Tech!

Straight Tech-Tech trades do not work from my experience. The AI does not see the point (for whatever reason) of trading one colonizing tech for another, even if you are friendly with that AI. ...

Re: oh, the abuse

Well, that would only be a problem if both parties accepted the trade. If player 4 does not accept the trade, then you do not have that problem. But the problem is that you can offer the same thing...
