Re: OT: A question about the Human Ability to Cope

My limited experience with fighting / combat is that some people will go to a "different place" when in a pretty tough situation by putting off their emotions (and paying for it in the long run with...

Re: Help with Playing as Pirates.

Turn based. I have yet to play a PBW game.

On the mining ships, I'd suggest you go all one type on a single ship for the long haul. If you have one or 100 remote miners on a single ship, it...

Re: We need more pirates!

I've always wondered about something: Pirates need to leech off of other presumably normal-sized neighbors.... But what if everybody wanted to be Pirates? THAT would be a pretty tough game that...

Re: Help with Playing as Pirates.

I'm also currently going through a P&N learning phase, but think I've got them figured out.

You will need mining ships...lots of them. That is what will get you over the hump with your...

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

Even if this change were made, you would need to go back to modify the AI constructino files to ensure they are actually built. I believe most AI facility construction files don't call for building...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

I had an idea about a way to give the game some additional kick: Facility location tags.

I was playing a P&N game and had the idea of trying to model a Habanna gas mine-like fuel station – like...

Aewsome! This will change the game play for the better IMHO.

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

That would require lots more coding. I simply propose that if a ship reaches the edge of the battle area it should just drop out of combat and be listed as survived. In simultaneous games, this...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

I hope we get around the problem of faster ships not being able to withdraw from combat from slower ships. I've always thought it rather unrealistic that fast ships just stop at the board edge and...

Re: The AI Complaint

Nevermind the fact that they keep pumping fleets and ships into the same ambush zone time and time again. I'd hope that SEV will allow the AI to tag a site as "enemy ambush" similiar to how it does...

Re: OT: The Battle of Savo Island

I'd be interested in the mod, but I don't have time to author it.

That said:
The differences in weapons would be fairly easy to mod: the guns were essentially the same, the Japaneese had the...

Re: OT: The Battle of Savo Island

This is that "Fog of war" thing that most people just don't get. We often are lulled into assuming that our understanding of how a battle transpired from reading it in a well-researched book is how...

Re: OT: The Battle of Savo Island

As odd as this seems, my Grandfather was a captain on one of those merchant ships at guadacanal during the first battel for Salvo Island, so your Grandmother's Brother likely saved his life.

Improving Mine tech concept

I was looking over the sweet mod data files today and had an idea that may add a little interesting twist with mines I’d thought I’d share with y’all.

Right now the way mines work is that they...

Re: Known Bugs

Buggy or not, new crews do go through training pipelines while their ships are fitting out. This type of in-game performance boost is perfectly logical from the reality perspective.

Re: Ship capture

Re: Funny Behaviour

Maybe he is just plain out-shooting you. Find out if you have equal or better combat sensors / ECM compared to the enemy, and what his racial offensive and defensive modifiers are.

Re: OT: nuclear fusion in the palm of your hand

So if Nuclear energy (well-weapons) spawns Godzilla for 50 years of sci-fi movies, what will fusion energy spawn, eh? Will we get a new movie monster craze, or will Godzilla go to a fusion reaction?...

Re: Atmosphere conversion?

Why 120? If memory serves, you only need 10 troops to eliminate the turn to turn natural decrease that non-native population will see. In my games I make sure I build 15+ to ensure a small upswing...

Re: Improved armor model thoughts

AI wouldn't use anything but the big guns, yeah, thought of that once I posted. Sigh, would need an AI re-design to work correctly. Too bad, I rather liked where this was going as far as weapon mix...

Re: Improved armor model thoughts

I like this approach, this is going in an interesting direction.

But upon reflection on your concept I think I’d make a small change: A ship's agility should not really give it that much...
