No, Babelfish should be capitalized and does not include Esperanto, Catalan, or Manx.

But yes, I don't see how you can call anything that can only be done in Tactical combat 'a cheesy exploit'. Tactical combat is already pretty cheesy and exploitive.

(Don't get me wrong, I use it in Single Player games when the AI is at a level that means it's going to pound me anyway. And I used to use it all the time.)

That sounds like a cheesey exploit to me.

Fyron, I refuse to argue with you.

I have played a few games where I was up against unarmed ships, usually mine sweepers. First thing I do is to make unarmed ships a priority target; that will often kill the mine-sweepers even when you loose the battle. This has a slowing effect on the opposing fleet, as they need to replace the mine-sweepers or risk running afoul of mine fields. Adding a single weapon will defeat this tactic. It looks like this is a mistake that lots of new players make.

You do realize that that is really a matter of opinion, so arguing on it would be futile, right?

Both of you please take this discussion elsewhere. The purpose of this thread is for FAQ updates. Thank you.

Slick.

I've read that having the Ancient Race trait lets you see the locations of other players' planets, but I can't seem to see it work in SP. Anyone?

Look for the right sized planets with the right levels of resources, based on the game's settings. Do this in the Planets window.
