Re: Depleted Uranium Cannons to powerful!

Shields revisited

Has anyone seen the AI use shield bypassing or shield dep. weapons? The reason I ask is because I wonder about the value of researching shields past level 5/6. If the AI is NOT going to focus on...

Re: Strategy tip for carriers

While defending a warp point I had a combat the other day with a carrier/fighter using AI. The enemy fleet contained the carrier (about 40 fighters) and 2 LCs. The carrier had 1200 shield points but...

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

Elmo,
Did you declare war or did the AI?
What is your score relative to the rest of the AI's? (ahead by 100% or more, ahead by 50%, about even, or below)

This would influence their response.

Re: Demeanors?

The different demeanors have an influence on your population's happiness. They help determine what actions/occurrences will change population happiness. I'm not sure as to the weight they are given...

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

After watching the "feeling" status for a few games, I have noticed the following.
1) Usually only 1 empire will turn on you gradually. For me it was the 2nd ranked empire. Nothing, free...

Re: How does SEIV compare to SMAC?

To put it blankly. Having only played the demo for both: I will buy SE4, I will not buy SMAC.

Re: What Weapons do AI-Empires use?

I have also had the AI use torps and a variety of other weapons. Even seen them use mine fields, well they where going to but I (by chance) subverted the ship before it could deploy the mines. Have...

Re: Satellites and CSMs in 0.99

Re: Strategy tip for carriers

Instar,
I agree that PDs are needed. In my post I said the PDs are a MUST. I would not consider PDs an offensive weapon. My point is that the fighters need to be used as the weapons for carriers....

Re: Anybody else think planet sizes are out of whack?

The gap also drives expansion to more systems. You string your empire out to reach the breathable planets because unbreathable ones, while useful can not make you a super-power. Look at the neutral...

Re: Well EXCUSE me for living!

This leaves you with a few options.
1) Demand tribute from the weakest ones (1 system type) as much as possible. Would weaken them more and if you get a planet or 2 within their system, you should...

Re: Strategy tip for carriers

Carriers are an important part (some would say core) of any combat fleet. The demo reduces their effect because of the limitation on fighter research level. They can be expected to play a larger...

Re: Strategic Combat Tactics

Tarqus,
I wasn't going to share the stop short trick, but you're right it works like a charm. This is really true if you have any early game escort vs escort or frigate vs frigate battles.

Re: Strategic Combat Tactics

Tactical is always the better choice. Two cases in point, I had 1 ship defending a warp point. The enemy would send 2 ships against it, in tactical I blew them away. Accidently hit strategic and...

Re: Some questions after a game or three

With NO treaty, in demo 0.99, your ships will go around the other ships when trying to reach a destination. Similiar to avoiding a cosmic storm.

Re: Things (BUGS?) that didn\'t change

Wingte,
Great ideas for a human player. I doubt you'll ever see an AI use them. The stations I've fought have not used multi-tracking. I play a great deal of 1 player games becasue I like to...
