Re: Strategic Combat bug

Dravis

Could be, but why would the fleet abandon it's primary strategy in favor of the secondary when there is still a planet with undamaged weapons platforms on the combat display? It appears...

His ship was the first to go down and we don't believe in escape pods.

Strategic Combat bug

I'm playing PBEM using strategic combat. Sent a fleet of missile ships to attack an AI planet and moon. Ship orders and fleet orders were set to fire at maximum range. The ships started firing at...

Re: This game is an expensive coaster

Kagetora is none other than BillB who has been beating up Richard about SE4 over at cdmag. Nice to see you took Bob's advice and moved your criticism over here. Your Posts are always a fun read.

Re: Troops vs Militia

Nyx

Thanks for the suggested troop config, I'll give it a try next game. Where do I find the data on how likely it is for cluster bombs, or any other weapon, to hit? I've looked but can't find...

Re: Troops vs Militia

Puke

If you do this, please post your results. I'm sure a lot of us would like to see it. As I mentioned previously, IMO this should really be in the manual.

Re: Troops vs Militia

Nyx

Right, they fire every other turn. However a small troop with three level 3 Cluster bombs delivers 270 points of damage every other turn and should kill 9 militia with that firepower. I did...

Re: Troops vs Militia

Blue Lord

I don't recall how many militia were there but it was more than 60. However since my troops survived several rounds of combat it seems to me they should have killed way more than 19...

Troops vs Militia

Can someone explain the math on how troops kill militia? I just had 19 troops each armed with 3 cluster bomb III's only kill 19 militia before going down. That is only a 1:1 kill ratio. However,...

Re: Cloaking bug ... or?

Taqwus

OK, I'll look for any sats they might have in that system. Thanks for the thought, that could explain it.

Re: Cloaking bug ... or?

Guys

I believe there may be a bug with cloaking. I just had a lone cloaked ship attacked by an AI ship (Phong) that had no sensors and definitely should not have seen my ship. It occurred at a...

Re: Carrier questions

Yes, I have seen a couple of the fighter Groups getting low on fuel. It's interesting that it looks like I can move them away from the warp point to a nearby planet I control. I was...

Re: Psychic vs Intel operations?

And the answer is...the psychic trait does not automatically foil intel operations. Guess I've had a string of very bad luck against my psychic opponent. Thanks to Aaron for a very quick response....

Something funny happened too. I lost a carrier...

Re: Sweeping Mines
