Re: Probably a solution to AS reign

I have no problem with the Psychic weapon. It has short range. If it misses, it takes a long time to reload. A Null Space Talismen ship will shred most anything it shoots at. Look at Base ships...

I have several friend that I play SEIV with and the standard opening is Emergeny build 10 turns with the home world. Variation: If you have a high shipyard reate, you might buil a few escort ships...

Re: Combat Modifiers and Units

I think SJ was trying to point out that you can maintain a much bigger fleet for each point of maintenance at lower levels. 6% to 5 % allows a 20% bigger fleet. 20% to 19% allows a 5% bigger fleet....

Combat Modifiers and Units

Has anyone tested to see which combat modifiers apply to units? Both attack and defense? Cultural Space Combat? Racial Attack? Racial Defense? Does Fleet experience affect fighters in a fleet? Does...

Re: Things we\'d like to see in the next patch

I have another bug for my list:

Satellite launchers do not work in combat. Only during movement.

Another addition:

Allow drones to be recovered.

Re: Things we\'d like to see in the next patch

I would like:

1) Allow Planets and Bases to be in fleets to get the Fleet bonsus and to keep defenders by the planet or base.

2) Allow Simultaneous turns to be saved in partial form and...

Re: ship and planet capture

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think you have to make sure your fleet movement rates are equal to get this to work. Otherwise, one part will arrive late.

Re: Cool tactic: Retrofitting on the Fly

Re: simulation button/program

The simulator misses a lot of modifiers, I think. Especially Ship and Fleet Experience and Racial and Cultural Modifiers. It probably does not handle system modifiers either (Like War and Death...

Re: PBW Needs you!

Frankly, I think that Shrapnel should pitch in $90.00 a month to support the PBW site. It does more for their game than anything else.

However, I have supported PBW in the past and I will...

Re: drone launching bug?

Re: Favorite Aspect of SEIV

My favorite aspect of SEIV is simultaneous play against other human players. I like games that use the hosting model, not turn based where you pass the turn on to the next player. So many...

Re: Yet another newbie question

I do not think you can repeat orders with a planet. You need something that can move so you can use the patrol button.

You can do mass facility upgrades by pushing the Upgrade button on your...

Re: Emmisive Armor for Dummies, please...

Emissive Armor is definately of limited value as larger weapon mounts appear. The problem is that weapon mounts escalate the damage too much and are to cost effective to not use.

On ships,...

Re: stealth armor

I think that Cloak Levels add to System or Sector Cloak Levels (Nebula and Storms). Therefore a Cloak 3 plus a Level 2 cloaking storm whould make a ship undetectable.

Re: A new, undocumented feature!

Better than a check, is get a money order using cash to pay for it and send that. That way she won't see the cashed check (if she gets to the mail first).
