Re: Do Comm Channels work?
okay. Think I got it now. So getting a comm channel isn't useless. Getting a comm channel from someone you have a partnership treaty with is useless.

Re: Do Comm Channels work?
No, your treaty level wouldn't effect it at all.
Basiclly, if you could send a ship to the AI without using stellar maniulation (opening a new warp point), comm channels should work. If you can't, it won't.

Re: Do Comm Channels work?
This would make sense, given a notion that communications travels via warp points from system to system.
Gotta have that telephone line to reach out and touch someone.

Re: Do Comm Channels work?
The game I'm playing in has all warp points connected. The AI empire in question had its entire forces squirreled up in one system that I hadn't yet visited, and my partner had only visited prior to our treaty. He'd encountered their race. I hadn't yet. I thought by getting a comm channel from him, I'd be able to communicate with that empire.
But I didn't get communication with them, until I actually sent one of my ships into their system.
So I'm still fuzzy on this. Explain to me exactly why the comm channel didn't work before, and of what use it is to me, if I have to physically enter the system first.

Re: Do Comm Channels work?
Space Umpire,
What you are describing should have worked. Something didn't happen the way it was designed. I have not seen that in any games I have been in. Possibly it was a fluke. If we can recreate it we can send it to Malfador and have them check it out.

Yeah, but whatabout cell phones?
Dial 1-800-INTRGLCT-C for all your intrasystem collect calls, and you'll save a bundle! |

Space_Umpire,
no offense, because I am just shooting at the dark here. Did you only view the gift, or did you actually accept it? Perhaps you forget to accept and that's why you didn't get the comm channel.
