Re: Building New Planets
I've been building 'em the 'old fashioned' way. I guess I'm ignorant, but I still don't quite see how you get the Star Bases retrofitted / configured with components that don't violate the "50% upgrade" rule. Do you possibly have a design file that has those bases in it? I would be extremely curious to see it (or parts of it). Maybe just a more detailed list of your previous post - I'm still confused as to your component lists...
As to others, I like building RW's and SW's and do think they are important. They can be a gamebreaker (I would think) ina Human vs Human game. There are other ways of making RW's interesting....
I am currently playing a game now where I have a system with 3 RW's - 2 are steadily building Monolith facilities and are at over 50K of each resource output. The 3rd is filled with Research and Intel fac's. Once I got them built, I gave everything else away (more or less evenly) to all the remaining AI's execpt for 6 Baseships. Then I declared war on all of 'em.
It's been fun fighting my own designs AND theirs as well as trying to recapture all the "strongholds" I had built before. It kept my fleets together (25 plus fleets avg 20 ships each) and attaked me a lot. It makes for a pretty good "scenario". The only downfall is I know all the systems and designs (which are also my own). You guys ought to try it....
EDIT... I forgot to mention that I also gave away 3 RW's. I can't wait to get to them and find out what the AI did with 'em...
