Re: BORG question for Modders

Sorry if this sounds line an inane question, but why make them able to breathe all atmpospheres? Ok... they adapt. But isn't a lot of their adaptation based on assimilating other races? Want to...

Re: Help-I need gas!

I would be suprised if it was a lack of engines. Doesn't the ship design section enforce "warnings" including "all ships must have at least one engine"?

Still... that sounds like the only...

Re: Help! Newbie question about not getting research from AI players!

Just as a point of clarification. Trade and Reasearch Alliance does not get you any of "their technology". Trade alliance gets you up to 20% of their Construction Points each turn (value increases...

Re: RANGE CHECK ERRORS

Malfador most likley knows about it, but your best bet is to save every turn for a while, and ship MM a copy of the save game from JUST BEFORE you generate the range check error in combat. If they...

Re: The only thing that po\'s me ....

It's almost definitely a memory problem. I play on a 180mhz dell with 128 MB of RAM. Turns with 14 players and a LOT of ships take about 1 1/2 minutes. Since the machine is a piece of ****, that...

Re: Up to date beta patch info..

Jourin,

Well said. And I could not agree more. I've been a SE IV beta tester from the outset, and Aaron at Malfador LISTENS and FIXES things when they are broken. Further, suggestions are...

Re: What about weaponmounts for things other than weapons?

Hmm. Interesting idea. That concept would be really neat for heavier shielding for larger ships. I'll send this in as a suggestion to Malfador. Good idea, Smiloid!

When comparing missiles and PD,...

Re: Newbie question

Fenris,

You are, inadvertently, sending empty colony ships.

There are three ways to "fix" this:

1) When your colony ship is still in orbit, don't use the "move" or "warp" buttons to send it...

Re: Bug in Fleet Stategic Combat

Some of the responses here seem a little confused. Let me restate the problem:

If a ship with a non-offensive combat strategy is (arbitrarily) assigned as the group leader and the fleet is sent...

Re: Some help please

I haven't played with finite resources, so I can't answer 2. For 1, however, the answer is in the facility itself. An Urban Pacification Center affects the entire system. Since the planet which is...

Re: Direct Fire Weapon Accuracy

Ah. I see what you're saying. However, I don't think that I have a clear concept of what's missing from the options that you would like to have. Can you give an example?

Re: Direct Fire Weapon Accuracy

You can formulate your own movement strategies. Look under the empire menu, for a button called (oddly enough) strategies.
You can hit the "add" button there and set the movement and firing options...

Re: Strategic Combat Tactics

The opportunity fire option would be interesting. The code exists... it's what the Point Defense Cannons do now. Making it a strategy option could make things interesting. And it would certainly...

Re: Final PBEM implementation?

PBEM is handled in player order. Eg, player 1, player 2, player 3, ..., player N.

If the combat occurs on your turn, you can watch little dots zip around (strategic combat). If it happens on...

Re: Newbie questions

Right. Storage facilities store resources. Useful if you produce more than you use ... comes in handy for the lean times when you don't.

Re: Space Stations--Pros/Cons

Sorry, it doesn't work. You can include the component on your space station, and use it, but the station still can't move. The "move" and "warp" orders simply don't function, and if you include in...

Re: I wonder

Right, but it's not a "game master" thing. You need to resarch astrophysics, and then stellar manipulation and build ships to close the broken one and create new ones.
