question about launching modded savegames

After I've used the modlauncher to play a game and saved it mid-way to continue later, do I need to launch it from the mod-launcher to continue play? The problem is, if I first launch the modlauncher...

quick question about TDM and race tweaks

I'm about to give this mod a try for the first time and have just had a look through the readme I see posted on this board with news of the latest Version. I then noticed that not all the game's...

Ships cloaking without possessing cloak component?

I'm in the middle of a game right now (switching out to post here) and I'm noticing that the cloak option appears to be available to my ships that don't actually have the cloak device on their hulls....

Re: Questions, part 5

Ouch. I thought that had something to do with why my drones were mysteriously being scrapped with an "out of supplies" message even though the drones weren't moving anywhere at all.

Re: Another drone bug?

Hmm, I suppose that's possible. In the huge galaxy games I play it's quite easy to lose track of units (and I've never even tried using ministers of any sort--I just can't imagine that the AI will...

Another drone bug?

I suspect this one is known to all the veteran players, but just in case, I'll describe it here anyway.

In the game I just finished, I noticed that once I hit the unit limit I couldn't launch...

Questions, part 5

Another batch ...

1. Does a resource converter work continually (as in automatically converts resources as you run low on one of them) or just once?

2. Once you click "upgrade facilities" in...

Re: Are fleet/ship training facilities all that useful?

Wait a second--mineral scanners and robotoid factories don't stack? If so, what's the point of researching the scanners since you can already get a 30 percent bonus with the robotoid factory III--and...

Does the AI use creative tactics?

I ask because in my current game I just had something interesting happen. I had a big fleet--my "Imperial Fleet" (heh heh) stationed on a planet just outside of my main territory. For whatever...

Re: Questions, part 4

Thanks again to everyone for the replies. Now about this "one shot" engine- or shield regenerator-killer issue, I think I'm still not understanding it properly. Do you mean to say that if you fire an...

Re: Questions, part 3

Thanks. Couple things, though.

Emissive armour: Since it doesn't stack as I'd hoped, what is the point of it? After all, even the most basic weapon in SE--the DUC I--does more than 10 damage in...

Questions, part 3

Another batch ...

1. When using an armour such as emissive I, does the "negate 10 points of damage" feature stack? That is, if I have three of them on, does it negate 30 points of damage?...

Re: problem with "repeat orders" command

Yeah, of course I did figure out the "move around until zero MP" workaround but my God is that ever tedious; especially not good for a game that's already as micromanage-happy as this one. I just...

Re: problem with "repeat orders" command

No you can't--that's just it. You see the repeat button flash live for a fraction of a second but you certainly have no time to select it. Everything's pretty much instantaneous.
