Re: Issue with planet type and new race

Ah, I knew it was something overly complicated and completely unintuitive.

Re: Issue with planet type and new race

That custom universal colony module might be your problem. Try adding a separate tech area for it in the TechAreas.txt data file and see if that fixes your problem.

When the game selects starting...

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?

I still have no idea why Aaron was so set on having this cumbersome slot layout system. SE2's ship design system was the most elegant. The order in which components became damaged depended solely on...

Re: A question about Q-Ships

All you have to do is add the cloaking abilities to the hull entry in VehicleSizes.txt. You could even cut and paste them from one of the mines.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?

True, but you have a hard time getting to the core mechanics because you're bogged down by the user interface. SE4 is much more accessible.

Re: Comet / Destroyed Star

Thanks, Fyron. Did you experiment with them at all when you were building FQM? If they do nothing, then they may be useful as dummy values for something more creative.

Re: Your WP defence: Mines, satellites or bases?

It's always fun to leave a few mines in a sector that lies along normal traffic lines (between planets, warp point to warp point, etc.). It won't stop a fleet fully equipped with mine sweepers, but...

Re: Space Empires on Facebook?

It would be intersting to see a version of Space Empires in-browser. Not SE5 of course, but maybe something like SE3 or SE4. I believe both were built in Visual Basic, so I don't think a direct port...

It's simple once you figure it out, but the data files are very poorly worded and can get confusing.

Re: SE4 weapon index

Does anyone here use an index to rate the effectiveness of weapons in SE4?

For example:

Weapon Index = Damage / Reload / Tonnage * Range

Probably not the most effective since it doesn't take...
