Re: Unique ruins techs

A possible solution to Ruins Tech:

Make them the "seed" for a new tech tree. This allows them to be improved upon.

My mod (in testing) allows weapons with a better rate of fire, and a few...

Re: Moon bug

I noticed this drawback for "none"-breathers and thought it would be good if this was balanced out - it would need a hardcoded change, but what if non-breathers has reduced Life Support requirments...

Re: Getting AI to demand surrender

Thats not what I wanted to hear because:
1. the AI can't do what I want it to do.
2. I just wasted 400 hours trying.

Re: Getting AI to demand surrender

Well...

I am watching my AI run itself by setting all the ministers on, some of the empire options off, then just hitting "end of turn" and seeing how my AI performs.

Getting AI to demand surrender

I have been trying for ages to get a race to demand the surrender of an enemy, it doesn't seem keen to do it.

Are there any known ways to inrease the chance of this?

Re: docking escorts

I've been playing with this, and I think the only way is to make a big fighter, then to mod a load of tech to make it usable on fighters (as per the comment about the pirate/nomad mod)

There's too...

Re: docking escorts

Can you give "Launched from Ship" to a ship? I suppose I could try. If you can, then how do you specify that they can be launched? I thought "Launch/Recover Fighters" etc was hard coded
There...

Re: docking escorts

The advantage of this would be, other than "roleplay" reasons, that the ships don't need their own warp capability and so gain extra space within the hull for other gear, or reduced build/maintenance...

Re: Would you want new planet types and atmospheres?

What about energy-beings who can colonize stars?

What about different hydrospheres (and geospheres for burrowing races)? A world is not just an atmosphere. (Well maybe a gas giant is, sort of)

Re: Resupply in space?

add to my wish list for next patch; ability to transfer specific amounts of supply ( in the same way we can transfer cargo) from ship to ship.

Re: Patch wishlist

Reduce effects of orbital bombardment, encourage surface landings.
Is it "realistic" that one frigate with a single gun can efficiently destroy an entire planet's population in under a month?

Re: Patch wishlist

What's really frustrating is, I had a couple of REALLY great ideas in mind, but when I read the rest of the thread by ideas went! I can't remember them.

Anyway can a pro-RTS person explain how the...

Re: Range Check - any way around....

Apologies, USC from the phrase USC without a paddle
(basically it means not functioning)

Re: Patch wishlist

Re: Range Check - any way around....

Sounds like one of the AI files is USC.
Best bet is to rename them all, then drop them back in one at a time, load the game and play a turn, see which one causes the problem - then fix it or post it...

Re: Problems with modding

I don't know what you have done so far, but these are the steps to check:

1. Make a new directory under pictures/races called whatever your race is called. (for instance "xyz"
