Armor question

So what is the consensus on using all emmissive armor versus using 1 or 2 and the rest regular? Were designs of the latter due to the armor bug that was solved? Is there any reason not to use all...

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

Interesting gravity talk. I am in the process of reading A Fire Upon the Deep. Has some interesting gravity concepts in there.

Re: Fuel in a 4x game

Reactor driven was the way I was leaning too. This opens up some possibilities with technology, as components can all be given a power requirement. This requirement can be altered as the technology...

Re: Fuel in a 4x game

I believe in Stars! you could set the speed too, and it would use more fuel.

If you break out fuel, ordinance, life support etc it adds the possibility of improvingg the ship/crew by...

Fuel in a 4x game

What are your thoughts on fuel in a turn based 4x game? Here are the constraints: Not Space Empires, no AI players, game is meant to last a long time, PBeM based (slower turn turnaround).

Re: A revisit to politics

Of course I agree that they are tough with AI's, but I do not agree that Intel operations against aliens wouldn't work. Sure, there may be some races, like hive mind, that would be very difficult to...

Re: Balance Mod

That is the tough part, as players who use the dual plasma frigates concentrate on plasma missiles and engines.

Re: Balance Mod

Hmm, wonder what got censored, as I did not use any inappropriate language.

What were the results of the strategy talks? Large ships become just big targets as they cannot close the distance. ...

Re: Balance Mod

Balance proposal...

It seems to me fast plasma missile frigates are a bit out of balance. 2 Plasma Missiles and PD can be placed on a frigate, along with enough speed to keep it out of range. ...

Re: OT: What Info Does Your Computer Whore Out?

One of the best ways to browse, for security and privacy, is to us the VMware Player.

Re: OT: Yarg.

Check out RegMon

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/regmon.mspx

Run this, then the installer. It will show you every registry the installer reads or writes.

Re: OT: Need help with renaming files in XP

Re: OT: What Info Does Your Computer Whore Out?

For a start:

http://analyze.privacy.net

However, a browser can find out a lot more. Some versions of IE allow sites to check for the existence of files, for example.

Re: Ideal 4x Travel
