i (being an inexperienced multiplayer) would totally welcome a ranking system and a more elaborate matchmaking system. maybe a seperate clan section so they can play each other and another for individuals. im sure its been said but whatevs, i think it would surely clear up the gripes that people have with mismatched multiplayer games
strikecraft fighters - good vs. light armor targets and other fighters bombers - good vs. structures and high armor targets this is what i have seen and experienced
maybe; the opponents i was playing were advent but all their planets in the system were empty. all they had were construction drones as i and my ai ally had decimated their fleet into oblivion and i was planning on breaking the alliance and destroying him next but i was held up taking planets and all of a sudden, i won...
after taking planets of a broken opponent, the planets i took reverted back to neutral when i clicked on them to upgrade and add structures. bug?

i did a 3 star map with teams on hard and no one attacked my empire in my starting system. you might wanna keep a small force there but its probably not nessasary. i have started to keep the pirates around as i like to use them throughout the game for xp, distractions, additions to my forces etc...
teched up to dark fleet asap, i can fend off multiple attacks with the phase stabilizers and a strong fleet and its really hard to not have a FULL fleet with dark fleet active on multiple stabilizers. i have a problem with tec as well as they start out much faster than vasari. you could get the other players to harass them maybe. on the way to DF, make sure to get the resource processing techs as you can translate them to credits as well as the techs that make structures and ships cheaper. i
oh i never noticed that, only went there once to get the CE download stuff. i still think ironclad and stardock should have stupid little contests for various movie criteria. 2 more questions tho. when watching my own replay this afternoon, it started in the middle of the fight, where i had almost locked down one whole star system. why didnt it start in the beginning? are the replays saved in chunks? and where are the replays saved?
so i was looking at one or two of my replays the other night to watch the ai opponent and i thought it would be a great idea to have a replay section on the site. a central place where we could upload our replays and comment on them. the first time i beat a hard AI with locked teams and 8 players, i was pretty proud, i lost my teamate and was facing a healthy 2 two person team by myself. anywho, just a thought, we could also have little contests for various things like shortest winni
the two support ships damage sheilds and slow you down; fun stuff
i keep them around as cheap muscle
i have started to play with the vasari and what i have started to do is try and tech up to dark fleet as soon as possible. it was mentioned that this could be done on the first 2 colonized objects (planets or asteroid) when properly built up. i am goin to try to tweak my research order to get the most resources and credits as fast as possible while still holding off on ALL other techs to get up to lv 8 as soon as possible. so that pretty much leaves the resource gathering techs, the ones that
can i take a picture of the download screen, and get props for not consuming more packaging garbage that will end up in garbage island. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/10/22/floating-toxic-plast.html
in relation to the rally point being on a fleet; you can, just set rally point of the ship producing planet to the fleet instead of an alternate planet or asteroid.
:SNIFF!: yea at this point my life has become a choice between 2 base urges, play a 3-6 hour game of sins after work or attempt to satiate my libido. eating comes in at close third. i dont know whether to laugh or cry.
auto-place structures toggle from on and off to, only tactical; only logistical; or all.
quick related question: whats the shortest amount of time one has taken to tech up to dark fleet? and does anyone who goes with this strat, spend any on research before dark fleet is reached?
so after looking up vasari tactics, i found out about the dark fleet tech in empire tree. OH MY GOD, how fun is that once you get it? when playing i tried to hardest to neglect my other research techs and focus in on dark fleet. almost all my planets had a phase tunnel and pretty soon i had a full fleet ALL THE TIME. i know some are looking for the nerf for this, but given that its tech 8, one would have to be pretty focused. so on to the question. do
i now have to 'defleet' the errant ship, give it orders or stop all orders and then make it rejoin the fleet.
smoking less...pssssh! shows what you know. although, frogboy, if your reading this, it played no part in the game i got obliterated by, with my team mate oogly.
Yeaarrrh me matey, i be goin to shanghai this thread. on the Barbary Coast of San Francisco the spirit of the pirate is alive and well. There be a pirate store which is also a writing workshop. and everyone breaks federal laws everyday with our downloading, sharing, bartering, trading and smoking. there will always be room in the briny for rapscallions!
no its the first frigate you get. it just hangs out and i noticed when i run the mouse over it is that it is trying to jump to another system. i just stopped all orders and he stopped trying to jump to the next planet. maybe i miss-clicked or something
in my beginning fleet, playing advent, i have noticed a single ship from said fleet over in a corner not auto attacking. its really annoying when a lone ship is doin nuthin' while its getting chewed up. does it have a previous order i have to clear or something?
