I've started getting used to the damage now, it doesn't really matter that much anyway.

The armor is great stuff, i like the organic armor better (the sludge stuff, or is that some other racial?) it regenerates which is so much better than just having high hit points. I think that regeneration is a little high. It makes it almost impossible to kill someone with it as they can regen thier armor faster than you can kill it.

I think that the cloak is cool, i use it a ton, but there needs to be a way to detect it, maybe a large base and WP only device that can see lvl 5 cloaks and then give every racial one lvl 5 type and the normal ppl only a lvl 4 so that racial allows you better cloaking. for religious or physic you could have it called a S.E.P field (from Life the Universe and Everything, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy trilogy) Somebody Else's Problem renders things invisible due to you not caring about it and you can only see it if you are looking for it/know its there.

I played a full tech start just to see everything and i am using the religious thing to totally dominate becuase everything i fire hits the enemy. I think the problem was that one of my ships wasn't designed with a combat sensor so it had like -200% or something and then i used religion. I just never tried it before, its great now and ill probably take it in every game from now on.

I still don't agree with the nearly impossible to overcome to-hit odds. I think this is one area where the odds could be lowered and it would still be playable. Static defenses aren't as good as ships in real life anyway. Have you heard of the Maginot Line? Not as great as a massive army of tanks. And what if i get the AI to gift me one of its super good infinite resource worlds? then i am set for life. Better thana ringworld.

IIRC i have seen AI's that can do troops and stellar manipulation (a little eratic but hey) at least we shoudl get the destroyers, the ai uses those, a little wierdly but at least it doesn't killit self as i once feared.

I just found the Warp gate tech, cool.
