Tampa_Gamer and Mephisto

Many thanks for the advice. Installed SEIV Version 1.01)Last night, did the tutorial and is well impressed.

Tampa_Gamer, I will follow your lead and get the hang of this before I download the 1.49 patch and the Mods - look forward to having some meaningful input on future threads

All the best

I think that Piundon have problems with colony ships as well. The colony ship has only 3 engines and supply storage. The resulting supply is exactly the same as with standard 5-engine ships - 2K, so Piundon ships have _exactly the same range_ but move twice slower ! I understand that Tampa-Gamer have tried to create a long-range colony ship, but it does not work with supply storage I. To get better range, cargo bays but not engines should be replaced with supply.

I feel I should point out here that swapping engines for Supply Storage Is will increase your range dramatically.

In this case, 5 engines, and 2500 supplies is normal:
2500 / (5*10) = 50 squares range

3 engines, and 2500 supplies:
2500 / (3*10) = 83 range @ speed 3

By reducing your speed to 3, you get 66% more range.

Note: upgrading engines from Ion to Quantums will have no effect on your range, just your speed. You run out of fuel in the same starsystem, but you get to that starsystem faster.

Hmm.. Thanks suicide, I don't have my notes with me, but I thought I went through some sort of comparison when I was first doing that.

Just to clarify, Khanuk, you should not hold off on getting the 1.49 patch. It fixes a large number of bugs that have been discovered since the game was first released.

My first SE IV mod! Hypermaze quadrant
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Ok guys; I would like some critics on Sergetti, Xi'Chung and Norak. Currently I don't have much time to play test them, so some players observations would be more then welcome (and it would speed up the improvement of these races).

Ok, you can start shooting.
