A lot of the new threads concerning the 1.35 patch contain referances to problems due to changes in a specific word phrase. These changes seem to be ones that effect every modded race.Could anyone...

Re: Map editor

It would be nice if there was a way to indicate within the file what abilities work on planets only, facilities only , and all the other combos.

Re: Which scanner is the best choice?

Trachmyr, I like your ideas about varying the effectiveness of the different sensors . As it is now there is only a need to research one type to level 4 and you are done. I would like to see more...

Re: Word changes in v1.35

Thanks Pathfinder. I have a lot of races downloaded from other sites, Atrocities old site and Universial Shipyards mostly, so I have a lot of editing to do.

Re: **** EA

Maybe you should use the communication mimic on the Phong from every race, why should they miss out on all the fun!

Re: Map Editor bug!

That ability is attached to the Massive Planetary Shield Facility.

Re: 3D Map Idea

I don't see any benefit to 3-D on the system map, it's more a strategic map, but a 3-D tactical combat map would be great! If you had fields of fire and different weaknesses from different angles you...

Re: i\'ve started a game for 20 turns need help

Since you have Point Defense 2, Shields 3 and Physics 2 you are well on your way to building ships that can Last the entire game and not be outclassed. If I were you I would research Phased Polaron...

Re: Map editor - neutrals

Anyone ever try to save a neutral race like you do a normal race? Maybe then you could place them.

Re: Is a large game worth playing or will it lock-up

I hope not. I'm on turn 396, longest game I've played I think, and its is the best game yet. I'd hate not to be able to finish it.

Re: Tonnage %

The fact that the same size engine moves a large vessel the same as a smaller vessel on the system map is not the problem, at least in my opinion. After all we are talking about basically strategic...

Re: Changes to the units

Re: Tanker ships and quantum reactors...

Yeah, bases are large enough to generate their own supplies, there is no need to give them endless supply as an ability. You should have to use up some space on the base for supply generation.

Re: Tanker ships and quantum reactors...
