I'll answer what I can. Some of this would have to be answered by Malfador.

Hy all,

SE4 is a very impressive game. I never heard of the SE-series, but since i downloaded the demo i can´t stop playing it.

O.k. - here are my questions:

1. PD-Weapons
Can i target with PD-weapons directly or are they only used to moving targets or by moving of the ship they are installed?

They are automatic. You cannot target them. They target and attack missles and fighters that are attacking your ship or formation.

2. Analyse of ships
How is it possible to get new technology by captured ships, i scraped and after that gigving for analyse. i tried several times, but nothing happend

When you are in the screen, check for research potential. If there is no potential ( you already have the same or more advanced tech ) then you will get nothing if you analyze it. If the ship has advanced tech, the use the analyze button, not the scrap button. If the ship is scrapped, you only get materials.

3. AI-Fleets
I saw only one big fleet of 7 cruisers (Phong), after that i never saw and was never atacked by such a number again. Only one or two ships maximum. Will this be changed in the full-Version? Are there really big fleets for big battles?
I saw several times, that the AI players are reacting to my attacks by sending several ships to a warpoint i was defending, but there ships sourrounded me in scattered Groups of one or two ships, so it was very easy for me to atack one group after the other with ALL my ships at once. Will this be fixed in the full Version.


We are in a multi player game now where the AI has a fleet of 16 cruisers and battle cruisers and is kicking us apart. It also has a couple of 6 and 7 ship fleets taking care of housekeeping on the side. I think you can say that they will have this feature.

4. Diplomacy

I saw that some empires, wich were at war with me had "brotherly" moods to me. Think, this is a bug wich will be fixed. But, how can i do trading of technology? They (the other empires) never do this - is it only me?? And if yes, how can i change it?

Make it real attractive to trade. If you want something, particularily something they don't want you to have, you have to make a very attractive offer to the AI in order for it to want to trade. They will do it, but only when it is to their benefit.

5. Tech-trees

Will there be a handbook, were i can read wich improvements per techtree is possible?

There will be a book, and, from what I understand, material available by direct download, although I could be wrong about that. I think you will have all the information you need.

Sorry for my bad english - ´hope you answer me!

Your English is much , much better than my German. Glad you enjoy the game and good luck.

Thanks a lot - Greetings from Germany

Jochen
