Re: multi player?

There is definately multi-player mode. Both PBEM and simultaneous mode will be available. The beta testers are in a multi-player game right now using the simultaneous mode.

Eat your heart...

Re: How does SEIV compare to SMAC?

Played them both, didn't care for SMAC. It was okay, but didn't push my buttons. This is a lot more fun.

Re: Additional Sounds to Customize

Personally, I leave the sound off. I just find it irritating, or even distracting. So it would not mean anything to me.

Re: Semi-cheat to speed up your ships

Yeah, you see this also later on with planet and warp building techs. It is kind of a cheat, but right now there isn't anything stopping it. BTW, this works on boarding parties also.

Another way...

Re: Strategy tip for carriers

I'll play around with it tomorrow and let you know. I usually don't mess with carriers personally. Should be interesting.

Re: What Weapons do AI-Empires use?

Trust me, you will see them. We are playing a multi-player game over on the beta side and the AI has ships that are pounding us to death with Plasma torpedoes. There isn't a weapon I haven't seen...

Re: Strategic Combat Tactics

The beta testers have been pushing for opportunity fire for some time. I'm sure it will come once they get to it. The priority was to get a stable, playable game with great gameplay ( which they...

Re: Strategy tip for carriers

You do get some advantages. You can put more engines on the smaller ships which does make them faster than the capital ships. Also, because of their size, they are harder to hit that then bigger...

Re: No.. _THIS_ is going to sound dumb...

You have several choices. The easiest is to press the button in the ship order row that looks a little like a green dome. It will say colonize if you hold the pointer over it. This will...

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

I don't think so. To get the numbers you are looking at, a significant amount of the planetary surface would have to be domed. That just isn't that realistic.

As it is, it gives you drive to...

Re: ICQ List for Players

I've used ICQ for some time and it's as safe as anything else. If someone is annoying, just use the delete and ignore feature to remove them forever. Very handy and saves telephone calls and bills....

Re: Defense: sats and stations

Defending the jump points are definately the way to hold a system. If you need help with the concept ( and possible counters ) read the Weber series on Honor Harrington.

This is a classic choke...

Re: Gold Demo Counter-Intel

Like a lot of games, the AI usually gets beat by a human ( otherwise people would not buy it ). The question is the degree of difficulty in beating it. There are some great patches out for EFS...

Re: So what I\'m a Newbie

For the colonies you already have, build a transport ship and move population to these planets. They will then start producing.

Re: Help .99 Download

You could try something like Gozilla or one of the other download utilities that let you continue if interrupted. It makes it easier to just go to bed and let the program download it while you sleep.

Re: Gold Demo Counter-Intel

Hey there, Mark. Did your change of station go okay? Still play EFS?

You'll like this game. Evidently the demo is a little buggy, but the one the beta testers are working with is running like...

Re: Ground Combat Expansion

I still play Emperor of the Fading Suns on a regular basis in PBEM, but the tactical aspects of ground combat are not that great in it either. The two stacks just go at it without any imput until a...
