Hidden facts of SE IV

[Gozra]

Hidden knowledge of SEIV.
Actually this thread should be named
"Why didn't I think of that!"

When creating planets create the planet then move on to the next asteroid field once set inmotion you can create 1 planet per turn.

In the empire options page turn off the "Clear orders when entering a system with enemy presence"

Plasma Missiles are the best.

Never trust an AI or human player

.

Hmm. 'Kay, see, anyone can read the text files and find out. There's been a couple lists like this. They should all be in the newbie faq, for examples, it being so huge.

From the FAQ:

2.8.3 Point Defense Cannons (PDC)’s get a 70% to-hit bonus. (components.txt)
2.8.4 Incinerator beams get a 10% to hit bonus. (components.txt)
2.8.5 Wave-motion Guns get a 30% to hit bonus. (components.txt)
2.8.6 High-energy magnifiers get a 30% to hit bonus. (components.txt)
2.8.7 Tachyon canons get a 10% to hit bonus. (components.txt)
2.8.8 Mental singularity generators get at 20% to hit bonus. (components.txt)

Slick.

- fighters can leave a solar system by ordering them to attack the warp point
- the use of all those other weapons that are obvioulsy useless because they have a ridiculous damage/(fire_rate*size) ratio

... add your own, I´m sure people would like to hear them.

Have you read the Newbie FAQ's thread at the top of this forum? It contains a lot of info. There is also a good strategy thread floating around. There is a link to is in the Second thread of the forum.
