Yeah, but they generally want to talk about other topics than how to enslave a galaxy.
Saber Cherry is a veteran of the MOO 3 forums, too. (I seriously doubt anyone else would have 'accidently' chosen that same very unique name!  ) She's quite a serious gamer. |

Re: Attention SEIV Modders and Know it All\'s- Request
Oooh! Somebody remembers me!  I kind of left those forums after MOO3 came out. So, it's been a while.

Re: Attention SEIV Modders and Know it All\'s- Request
Good thing you found SEIV then... otherwise it might be difficult to find a worthwhile 4x in space. And lets not even mention those dreadful 5X's....

Re: Attention SEIV Modders and Know it All\'s- Request
The other major problem with PDCs than the 70% to hit bonus is the 5 range. This allows dozens of ships to stack their PD fire over a single square (such as that the missiles are traveling in). If you drop their range to 1 or 2, then you greatly reduce the stacking effects, and it becomes more possible to actually use missiles (and/or fighters) and win. |

Re: Attention SEIV Modders and Know it All\'s- Request
Yeah, I think that makes sense. PD ships are nice, but perhaps a single one shouldn't be allowed to cover an entire 9x9 fleet...
The reasoning behind the PD accuracy bonus is suposed to be that they fire at very close range, when evasive manuevers are over and the missile has begun its final trajectory, after all

This also gets rid of the "2 shots at one stack" effect. With a range of 1 or 2 it will be rare for a stack to finish a turn close enough to allow a shot on two consecutive turns.

Re: Attention SEIV Modders and Know it All\'s- Request
You can also mod the fighters to fire their own seekers (Andres has done this in the Star Wars mod and it works, oh how it works). We've talked about this in some other thread and came to the conclusion that this tactic can overload PDCs very quickly.

Huh, I always thought it was more of a shotgun effect - the gun fires a bunch of little projectiles and SOME of them are bound to hit!

It depends, I suppose. That's not the way the U.S. Navy's PD cannons work, but then, I'm not sure if anyone knows whether they're the slightest bit effective |
