Re: Newbie Q5 (suggestion?) "edge of the universe"

Bizarre - I can't imagine why people didn't want a disengage option! And the least they could have done would be to leave it in the code as an option turned off.

Perhaps (as in some other games)...

Re: Newbie Q4 (suggestion?) Viewing ranges

Sorry - I should have been clearer - I mean couldn't the ranges be actually shown on the main combat screen so you don't have to look at the enemy units and count squares from them to you!

Newbie Q5 (suggestion?) "edge of the universe"

Is there any way to get rid of the edge of the map in combat? It's really aggravating when a faster ship gets nailed in combat just because it runs into a corner - especially in strategic combat....

Newbie Q4 (suggestion?) Viewing ranges

Is there any way to view the known range of an opponent's weapons on-screen so you can carefully maneuver your own ships out of range? This would be particularly useful when dealing with heavily...

Newbie Q3 Strategic combat

Is there any way to see the condition of ships during replays of strategic combat? When I mouse over them it shows me a "whole" ship even though I know I was damaged...

newbie Q2 Ministers

If I hand a ship over to a minister, is there any way to find out what the minister wants to do with it? If I click on one of those ships it doesn't show a movement path...

Demo newbie Q1: Hit and run

It is rather aggravating that if you are stationary ships can whiz in from out of range, fire and move away. Isn't there/couldn't there be some form of "opportunity fire" - you fire if a target comes...

Demo multiplay

I have messed about with the demo enough to get an idea of the mechanics but I found the AI disappointing. I am ready to take on some humans. Are there any demo owners out there interested in a game?...

Update to demo?

Back in November (!) I read that there would be an update to the demo. Since then, nothing. Will there be a demo v. 1.35? How different is the demo to the now-current game?

1.35 and the demo (bugs)

I downloaded the patch and it doesn't seem to affect the demo. Will there be an upgraded demo?

I notice that in the galaxy map view my resupply depots are not being reported correctly (it misses...

Re: Construction speed and population size

In other games your population has a base construction ability and so do your factories. So you can use a small pop to build a factory then use both to build the next factory and so on. But it means...

Re: Construction speed and population size

True that pop of 2000M gives a 30% bonus but surely production on a world with 14m people should not be 70% of one with 2000M, whatever the other circumstances are!

Construction speed and population size

It appears that I can build at the same speed on a planet with 4m people as I can on a planet with 1000m ! Is this a bug or a feature?!

Re: Upgrading ships, etc?

One possible snafu - I noticed after upgrading a unit that I was told I needed to repair the upgraded component. Unfortunately, I had not yet researched repair!

Re: Demo user seeks a few pointers

There is a tutorial but it only tackles the very basic stuff. The trouble with researching at random as you go along is that it can take a looong time. Plus of course the demo doesn't have the whole...

Re: Demo user seeks a few pointers

I am getting a little disillusioned...

Is it true that in combat there is an "edge of space" and there appears not to be a "disengage" command so if there are two ships with the same speed and one...

Re: Demo user seeks a few pointers

Thanks for the help, guys!

"The red "trash can" means you don't have a spaceport in the system" - well that's intuitive!

And if I colonise a planet with ruins on it do I get the tech free or do...

Demo user seeks a few pointers

I am an experienced 4x player but new to SE IV and am having a difficult time playing the demo. It is extremely under-documented – the tutorial doesn't get you far at all. I understand that the full...
