Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted

If I'm not mistaken, the Point Defense sound is the 'M41A1 Pulse Rifle with over and under 40mm Grenade Launcher' http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Would anyone be interested in more planet development?

Many good ideas but one thing I would not want to see is a return to the late game colony management nightmares that was MOO2. Bleh! http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Proposed \'Quick Fix\' for some Combat \'Anomalies\'

Tomgs:

Thats exactly why I posted that suggestion. IMO, its the best solution. A movement point penalty for firing based on the hull (and modifiable) would make everyone happy. Some could use it...

Re: Proposed \'Quick Fix\' for some Combat \'Anomalies\'

Nitram Draw:

Well, the objective isnt to make it fair for both sides but 'fair' within weapon Groups. When one weapon type has a tremendous advantage over the others, something needs to be...

Well it was not my intention to completely remove the enjoyment of playing the game for some folks. I definately favor ALL changes like this to be 'customizable' by an option to...

Lucas:

Yes, some folks have experimented with teaching the AI to 'missile dance'. Unfortunately, it simply makes missiles a 'trump' card and pigeon-holes players (and AIs) into researching them...

Sure, those are all great ideas. I'd wouldnt mind seeing an 'impulse movement system' in the game, but I dont see it happening any time soon. The original goal of the post was...

I also think these changes would benefit player vs player games as well. At the very least it makes it so that 'static' defenses are more worthwhile.

But even if it didnt do so, I...

Re: Diplomacy Quirk

One thing to keep in mind is that there is a 'per other war' modifier to the AI's diplomatic routines. Basically, I believe this causes the AI to be 'friendlier' to people it meets when it is already...

Re: Game Diplomacy vs Real Diplomacy

The real reason you see this is that the game does not model a 'civilian economy'. Traditionally, the this economy is hurt by going to war, but the military econ (and growth in general) is helped by...

You are absolutely right from a realism point of view. But this is an abstraction, just like the rest of the tactical combat engine. There is no reason a ship could move in any...

Re: Shipsets from UniversalShipYards....

Mephisto:

I *think* that the EA set on UnivShipyards comes with an AI written by someone else (Philip somebody-or-other). I havent checked it but that was the way it was originally released.

Re: Question on DesignName file

No, it doesnt need to be in Alpha order...the computer just starts at the top of the list and goes down it for naming.

It can have two words. I'm not sure on the exact length it can be, though.

Re: Fighters should pay support!

Yes, I have mentioned this before as well. Its a capacity that can easily be abused IMO. 900 is NOTHING compared to what it CAN be.

I think there should definately be some sort of small upkeep on...

Re: Phased Polaron too easy to research?

Yes, weapon balance needs quite a bit of work IMO. Its not a big deal as it can all be modded to taste, though.

It was one of the first things on my 'hit list' after my first few games. My data...

Re: Rules Question - contest

Yes, the 'cost' to purchase maintenance reduction is ridiculously low given the current effect. I cranked it up to 200 RPs/point of Maint and that number seems to be working fairly well.

Re: Well it finally happend

Yes, I've more or less burnt out on SE4 as well. I'm still playing the occasional game here and there, but mostly I'm just piddling with the data at this point.

IMO, the biggest detractors are the...

Re: Broken Cultures?

Re: Note from MM - AI MODDERS MUST READ THIS

Well, as far as AI and modding goes...I'd really like to see the ability to add more ship types to the Construction Queue instead of only 'Attack Ship' and 'Defense Ship' etc. Same goes for units.

Re: AI Modding Consortium - Please read

Well, I certainly like the idea. I'm just not sure how much use I'd be to it though. My data set is pretty heavily modded.

It amuses me to no end how names like 'missile dance' stick! I deemed it that in one of my Posts a few weeks ago and it seems to have become coined as the 'official' title...
