Re: Question...

Yup, I pulled it in my Data Set and simply made the higher tech armors have a better damage/size ratio. I think its overcompensation from SE3 where EmArmor was EXTREMELY powerful..at least IMO.

Re: New ShipDesign Mod

Tampa_Gamer:

Actually, my set is VERY interdependant. I have tweaked costs and ranges and whatnot for a LOT of items. This caused me to go in to the AI files and tweak them so that it could...

Re: New ShipDesign Mod

Sure, I'm happy to give feedback. I think the best way for us to improve the game is to experiment and compare notes. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Shield Generators

Ive never even bothered with Boarding. The Techs for boarding are FAR more difficult to attain than the easy 'cure all'...the Self-Destruct. And IMO, its TOO effective.

Its bad enough that the...

Re: New ShipDesign Mod

[K126]Mephisto:

Ok, I gave it a try and compared to some of my own mods. Here are a couple of things that I noticed:

1) As you observed, the Research file doesnt work well. Putting all the...

Re: Please, opinions on upkeeps

I long ago altered my data set to make more use of the other two resources. I have Facilities costing FAR more in the Organics department to simulate the need for people and infrastructure. Engines,...

Re: My Final Verdict (until the next patch, that is...)

DirectorTsaarx:

Yes, tweaking those numbers and a few in the AI_Anger files will indeed make the AI players more hostile. Unfortunately, it makes them more hostile to everyone they meet...ie,...

Re: AI Anger Data File

Lintman:

I've been toying with the idea of changing the number of RPs that Research Centers generate too. Out of curiousity, what change did you make (up or down?) and why?

Thanx,

Re: AI Anger Data File

No, thats not completely true either. I was playing a game where I had fighters galore and decided to make a change to the fighter cost to make them a bit more expensive. I restarted my game after...

Re: Ship Engines/Size

There is a setting in the ship files for 'engines per move' as in SE3. I havent tried it myself, but others have said that it wasnt a functioning parameter though (at least in the initial release...

Any idea what happened to all the SE4 sites?

I have been trying to find some additional Race Styles for download so that I can experiment a bit with some new AI files. But so far, almost every SE4 site that was hosting ship files is gone.

Re: My Final Verdict (until the next patch, that is...)

From what I can tell, the 'personality type' of the AIs are immaterial. A 'Berserk Psychotic' acts no differently than a 'Serene Engineer'. This is because they share the same 'Angry file' and the...

Re: Knowing when an enemy enters a system

Re: Maintenance Formula

Given how potent Mines and Fighters are in the game at the moment, I am VERY inclined to want to give them at least some residual maintenance cost...maybe only 5-10% or so.

I can just easily...
