Re: An idea for gold patch

Re: Newbie Ques Shield Regenerators?

That would be true if shield regeneration worked like organic-armor regeneration (ie it accumulated points before you were damaged). But since it does not work that way, you have to survive 7 turns...

Re: Using Stock shipsets for PBW games...

Re: Brightness/contrast

I've gone as far as editting the graphics for those ships and putting a big red square around them so that they can't sneak up on me in a game. I've wondered if anyone has used the dirty tactic of...

Check it out at their homepage (http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com/). It is a turn-based squad-level PBEM tactical combat using sci-fi. It's developed by the makers...

Re: Satellites and multiple targets

I thought they had fixed it so that the "defending player" goes first which means the sats should go first. Even though the ships have engines and such, the sats are sitting at the wormhole carrying...

Re: repair time

Okay, the boss walked by and I had to put away my bhong. I pulled up my game and sure enough the armor works as you say. I think I was confused because I always check the Auto checkbox when in the...

Re: repair time

No when I right-click the ship the armor is still damaged. And the game is a PBW game running 1.49. The ships just don't repair for me until they are hit again. I'd be happy to privately give you...

Re: Opening Strategies
