Re: Good defense against missiles?

Point defense are your best bet.
Research them up to Level 5 (not too expensive) and load every attack ship with at least a couple of them.

(Don't load a ship with ONLY PD, though. In strategic...

Re: Problems with SEIV?

Concerning the stuck ships: I haven't seen this problem, and I assume you've checked the obvious, like they actually have engines.

Concerning the missed Messages, the only thing I can think of is...

Re: What I Hate Most About SEIV

What the heck are militia?

You mean the population of a planet actually defend it like troops would? And how formidable are they? How many troops are sufficient to take over a medium-population...

Also: I heard somewhere that there is a limit of 100 mines per sector? Is this determined by the game-creator? Or is this a hard coded limit?

Couple of Qs - retrofitting and minesweeping

1. Does retrofitting an experienced ship cause it to lose it's experience level? (Back to Novice +0%) I would hope not, but I want to make sure before I try it.

2. Minesweepers: Is it sufficient...

Re: howto steal/take technology?

You can also capture a colony ship (if they let you get close), and analyze the captured vessel (Scrap/Analyze/Mothball) to figure out any techs you don't already have.

Re: Ship Strategy & Fleet Strategy in strategic combat-how does it work?

Setting it to "Capture Planet" didn't work.

Capture planet actually consists of 2 movement strategies: Drop troops and Optimal Weapons Range. It also allows firing on Planets.

Re: Ship Strategy & Fleet Strategy in strategic combat-how does it work?

I played with these strategies in some solo games to see if I can get the hang of them, but I couldn't quite get the result I wanted.

This is stupid, IMO.
I always assumed it worked the same as the Research queue. Finished as many as it could, and the rest wrapped around until the next turn.

Is there a REASON it was designed...

No matter what was damaged, how much remains undamaged, or if it can repair itself.

2 responses, 2 opposite views.

Anybody confirm this one way or another? Just in case it makes a difference, I'm assuming the player who created the minefield has no scanning capability.

Cloaked ships can get by mines?

I'm pretty sure I know the correct answer to this one, but:

\"Forget\" enemy designs after my scanning ship moves?!

Re: Bug or feature - Ships lose orders when damaged?

If this IS truly a bug, do I need to report it to someone? Or do the "powers that be" read this forum?

To me, it at the very least needs to be an option that can be turned off. Maybe a "Ships lose...
