Re: Blockade Runner ship class

I gave my little hulls, escorts, frigates and destroyers, a lot of extras in hope that they would stay useful throughout the game.
I gave them supply, like you suggested, extra movement, extra...

Re: Using captured races for population

I think that you could move those 4m around indefinately.
Once you get a majority of the correct breathers on a planet you can queue the maximum facilities and replace them with any other type of...

Re: Newbie

Hi,
There is no retreat from combat.
You can deploy satelites anywhere, you need to build a ship with satelite bays. A transport can be use and will allow you to carry extra satelites around but...

Re: Blockade Runner ship class

You could assign the extra movement ability to the hull class, I did that to the escort to create a scout type ship. You can give it any amout of movement you want this way and not have it abused to...

Re: Fighters are now unbalanced

The is a note in one file, the vehicle file I think, that says fighters are destroyed when they are out of supply. I have never had my fighters run out of supply but if this worked you could cause...

Re: New Borg

I installed your Borg race and got a message about the Assimilator culture not found. What culture would best fit this race (I do not follow Star Trek)?

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...

I know that 9 shipyards on the homeworld caused the AI to pump out ships! Maybe I will try a few games with three yards on a homeworld, I think I could modify 2-3 AI's to get a feel for how they...

Re: New AI for neutral empire

Sounds good. I always wanted more powerful neutrals. After all they only have to defend one system, they should provide a tough fight!

Re: Fighters are now unbalanced

The point askan makes about fun is the most important point, I think. Since the game takes place in the future anything is possible. If one thing dominates the gameplay so much that the fun is...

Re: Missiles: Do they ever miss???

Nuke AAA! Area damage should do great against fighters too. Lob one into a group of them and fighters in all adjacent squares could possibly take damage.

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...

I'm not to good at modding the AI files. I just look for the resupply facility and delete it? This must be done for each race I guess http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: SEIV CD Docs

I would recommend that you fight tactically until you get the hang of the game. It is the easiest to learn. Try one ship on one ship combat first. Left click on the map to move, left click on your...

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...

I read somewhere that in an earlier Version of SE4 there was a bug/cheat involving multiple shipyards. Apparently you got the benefit of all the build capability of all shipyards on a planet. It...

Re: Having multiple fleets attack at once

Re: Starting facs for homeworlds...

While messing with the facilities file I found that I could get a large number of shipyards, resupply depots or spaceports on a homeworld by giving them research or mineral mining abilities. If they...

Re: Missiles: Do they ever miss???

That 10 billion increase in sensor power seems odd. It may be that the sensor power increases the closer the missile get to it's target but I don't think the increase is a simple multiplication...

Re: Bring back SE III Player Tech Levels!

Trachmyr,
Does that idea work?
You could create an unlimited number of combinations or you could even assign every tech branch a value, say 50 points for level 1 APB but 1000 points for level 1...

Re: Missiles: Do they ever miss???

If missiles were affected by the range (accuracy) modifier then you could tweak them to your liking. I don't know how hard it would be to change.

Re: docking escorts

Maybe you could create a hull and give it the "Launched from ship" line in the vehicle file and then create a launcher. You probably couldn't prevent the launcher from being used for fighters but you...

Re: Fighters are now unbalanced

Yep, typically AAA relyed on a wall of lead to bring down targets. If you judged efficiency by number of shots per hit the AAA was one of the most in-efficient weapon designs ever.

Re: Missiles: Do they ever miss???

ECM was designed specifically to counter electronic/electrical devices. It should definately effect seekers. Maybe seekers could be given an ECCM ability that changed as the level increased. I don't...

Re: Thoughts on planet defenses

They all work well as planet defenses. A mix of each type will probably hold off most attacks. The only differance with defending planets instead of warp points is that it takes a lot more...
