Re: Newbie questions

Also, in tactical combat you can give the command to drop troops by pressing the orders button. This will also allow you to ram a ship and do other things.

Re: Super newbie help

For units (troops, fighters) you need to research construction and then the specific unit type. You also need to research smaller and troop weapons. Then select unit under design. You should...

Re: Does the computer cheat?

Expansion on detail.

Mounts also require more space/weight. IIRC Meson goes from 20 to 30kt.

Re: AI lacks targeting sensors

In one game I noticed a neutral empire reducing in score and turned it into a player empire to see why. One of of xeno AI was waging war on it. The neutral empire, having not expanded beyond 1...

Re: A round of applause for MM and Shrapnel

It is great to see game developers/publishers who are willing to listen to gamers. Nice change from the "big guys" approach to new games. My hat is off to you. I look forward to playing the full...

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

Wingte,
You can can destory 3 stations and a planet in combat with as few as eight ships. All you have to do is move, fire, move. I didn't notice any improvements in station range to conteract...

Re: Retrofitting

Seawolf,

Maybe surrendering should not only be less frequent/easy but also more damaging. Like no/limited production for x turns, lose of facilities to "true patriots", rebellion, etc... If one...

Re: A research question

Seawolf,
I usually research more than 1 tech area at a time. I just wanted to know what would happen. Say you run across a race with advanced missles and your pt def is level 1. Would be nice to...

Re: Buying decision, not so easy...

I would have to disagree about the turn limit. At first I felt like you did but after playing through several games I think the turn limit helps to make a choice. Remember, you can see different...

Re: Intelligence Opps

Should intel ops. be an automatic success? Should it be as easy to subvert a jubiliant homeworld as it is to subvert an angry fringe of the empire planet? An experienced flagship drew or a novice...

Re: A research question

Internet connection glitch here I'm sorry if this appears twice.

Instar, yes that is correct. However, it is folly to split points evenly if 1 project will coomplete on the next turn. All points...

Re: Retrofitting

I know its not realistic but would be cool. Then again consider the following:

My main complaint about retrofitting a ship deal with ships acquired from other empires. I understand the "realism" part about not being able to upgrade an "alien" ship but it would be cool to...

Re: Combat formations

Seawolf's comment is right. It comes in handy when fleets get to be around a dozen or so.
Also someone once posted that the AI does not appear to use fleets. I just had a small combat (10 vs 8)...

Re: A research question

A research question

Does anyone know how the "repeat research projects" button works? Does it work with only 1 area selected? Do unused research points roll forward? EX: If level 1 costs 5000, level 2 costs 10,000...

Re: Space Stations CAN Move!!

I've viewed the repair bay to be somewhat like the U.S. space shuttles. Some work done inside, other work done through space walks. Only its done mostly with robotics, not crews.
