For this reason a new type of engines could be introduced- that provide rotating speed...

It's best to be on the move, that way you're more difficult to hit. Go ahead and try it with a helicopter in any given flight sim.

I was wondering how range is calculated, and the size of the combat area in SEV? I was going over some material for my SFB mod, and was wondering if SEV uses some arbitrary LOS measurement (KM?, AU?) or if its still based on squares or hexes. Also the size of the combat area would affect the maximum range that we could apply to weapons, and the effects of movement of the ships. Especially if the retreat option is included.

That sounds like bull****.
I think you are playing the AI.
There is no shame in that. I never multiplay myself. I don't like playing sneaky humans and their crazy exploits. It takes me out of character, the evil ruler of the galaxy.
Yeah, me too I'm a megalomaniac.
Did I mention that I like to win?

Easy with words like "bull****". Why does it sounds like he is playing the AI? Anyway, please keep it civil.

WTF!!? LOL

Do you have a detector?

/me imagines Mephisto in a control room at Shrapnel... the claxon sounds and he spins his rotating wheeled deskchair over toward the control panel... he finds the flashing red lamp that leads him to the offending thread...

When first struggling to learn SEIV, there was a satisfaction in having my lone frigate equipped only with a couple of DUC’s and a combat sensor rip apart 3 large Eee crusier fleets using tactical combat (Fire, move out of range of the AI, end turn, repeat). Although it was fun watching that one ship reach “legendary” experience, I have found it more enjoyable to spread out so you have the economy to afford the large fleet actions that SE plays well.

Back when I still played single player, I had tons of fun as a psychic race fighting the Cue Cappa. 5 ships (me) vs 30 (Cue Cappa) ending with me having 35 undamaged ships . And then there was the time I fought off an invasion using only ships that I had Crew Insurrected from the invading empire . Nowadays, though, I generally overwhelm my enemies on PBW with both superior tech and superior numbers.
