Hail all...I'm probably doing something wron but: I installed Uzi's Mod, and while after a bit of playtime I do see new planet types -- I have yet to see a single new Tech. I see Uzi's non-clickable logo in the tech trees, but no new Techs. Any input here would be most appreciated. Hats off to this modding community...you guys will keep the game alive for a long, long time.
Is that OpFire valid also for non-Capitals?
Thanks for that too. Ok another one: It seems to me that when your ships are moving, they stop firing at previously designated targets. Is this true or is it just a graphics thing? And if they stop firing, does that mean that a Cap ship fighting by itself for over 50% of the damage of a particular ship will get the full exp bonus for "finishing a kill"?
Thanks for that Annatar. Another quick question: Why is it that when I select a LEV and click on the button to "build Metal Extractor", that the damn thing will head off to the FARTHEST asteroid to start building? This is really annoying. Like a bad joke from the Dev's hahahah.
Quick question about Fleet Leaders. Usually I gather up a bunch of ships and click "Create Fleet". At least 50% of the time, it makes the leader a little frigate -- even if I have several Cap ships in the fleet. Is there a way to make a particular Cap ship the Fleet Leader? To have a Cap ship automagically selected as the Fleet Leader every time you do a drag-group and Create Fleet? Just wondering if there is something I'm missing or if this happens to everyone.<
Uranium is spot-on. Let the OP head back to the kiddie corner with his Xbox to play Mario Bros. A game like "Space Empires V" or AGEOD's "American Civil War" might make his head implode.
Perhaps a Subterranean planet type: -- More easily colonizable by one race than another. -- Very defensible from orbital bombardment. -- Low Pop growth, because of conditions forcing life forms underground (Poisonous atmosphere etc)
...Maybe: -- Planet can not be colonized till [I]all[/I] Asteroids in system are being mined (for nominal artificial landmass)
[quote]Anyway, the planet should probably have lowered defenses, since anything on the surface would probably go down from a simple bombardment.Well if you were to go by the assumption that the population is all in underwater cities, then the defense against planetary bombardment should be very high, becuase the water would act as a damper to any incoming projectiles. Just another way to view it.[/quote] Yes also plenty of subterranean nooks and crannies to protect population within.<b
If you build only 2 Trade Outposts at the furthest stretches of your Empire, is it still beneficial to have Trade Outposts at every system in between?
Is there a way to pause the game without clicking "menu"? I was wondering if there was a way to pause and stay in the game for purposes of doing things like Fleet Creation, allotting planet builds etc. If there is an easy way, I have yet to find it. Thanks for any answers. (Of course I realize this can't be done during a MP game)
Glad I found this thread... Does one want to build a Trade Post in each system ALONG the route, or only at the beginning and the end of the route?
..How do I get my "supply" points up so I can build more ships? Also, how do I get more Crew available? I couldn't seem to find the "obvious" method of doing so from reading the tech descriptions. Thanks
