"My games load too fast..." lol, that's an awesome complaint. as for the rest of the question, go into the install directory, find the String folder, and open english.str in a text editor (notepad). Search for "IDSLoadScreenTip".
@txgss4: If you hold down alt, planet names will float above their icons in main view and in empire tree. @Setbeastalan: Are you complaining about the green stars?
It's not just the AI diplomacy. Something like this happened to me in online play. There were three players left, and one was clearly winning. He had a fleet of about 9 high level dunovs all with shield restore, as well as various frigates for supporting fire. I decided on a strategy and convinced the other player to help me accomplish it. The whole time spent on my hit-and-run strategy, the other guy kept hanging back, or just being a little slow to the battle. I chalked this up to a lack of sk
General Harada, you can already queue commands. To do what you're asking, turn on stacking in the empire tree, then shift right click the groups you want to attack. By default, the ships will auto target whatever their weapons are most effective against.
The rebels will fight with the TEC player who caused them, but they won't actually attack his planets.
You can also just set auto-attack off, and keep an eye out until the pirates are gone.
Phase gates are useful, but only within the same system. If you want to invade another system, or are defending yours, you're in the same spot as everyone else.
If it destroys all of their stuff, it would just make a huge open area that would greatly benefit only the players actually bordering the dropper.
Best fleet [I]ever[/I]? Personally, I'd say the 30 sova carriers I built back in beta one. For anything, I'd have to vote multi's 20000+ ships.
Ya, left, right. Those darn directions. :NOTSURE:
They're all under the fleet logistics tab, third one down on the very right side of the research menu,
Were all of your labs fully constructed?
It lets you see enemy culture spreading anywhere.
If you just open up stardock central it will tell you any software that is updated. And personally, I've never downloaded anything as fast as I did from stardock back in the beta, and after release I was still averaging over 300 kB/s
You want super fortress worlds? You should have played beta 1. No cap on structures (except trade ports), and phase jump inhibitors prevent enemies from leaving the well at all. It made it incredibly hard to attack, because you were always worried that your fleet would get caught and slaughtered.
At least you only have to wait one more day for the full version, I remember last year we were waiting months for the first beta.
I just want to see the Akkan in water.
[quote] Big != technologically advanced not nessescarily.... [/quote] Just because you can have something big and technologically advanced doesn't meant the two things need to be together, or are equal.
That was a bug back in the beginning of beta 4 (I've seen it myself, it does rock), but I thought it was fixed... Do you have the latest version of sins?
Big != technologically advanced
[quote] Spartan, from what I recall beta testers are "automatically" upgraded! [/quote] Only if you ordered the boxed copy. They'll be sending instructions on how to upgrade to the CE to us digital downloaders closer to release.
[quote] can you make a polymorph ability? [/quote] Best polymorph ever: I made a sheepmage, and gave it polymorph. It turned your enemies into villagers.
I think the weirdness with the name is just a general text problem, it looks like the message above yours was two lines long, and the last word overlapped your name.
[quote] depends on the difference. if you have ten frigs and stand a full enemy fleet you WILL get wasted, no matter how good you micro. Obviously you haven't seen Multi use the Antorak. *shudders* [/quote] But the Antorak isn't a frigate...
[quote]In the game that told me i missed patrol command enemy was jumping from 4 different stars and ending up in uper 180 arc of my Star grav-well in 4 different places, their fleets would then proceed to jump into 3 of my lanes. Entrances to those lanes were around 180,0 and 90 degrees on the same upper arc. Performance of my fleet trying to cacth all of them and running around ineffective got me thinking on how i could cope with that.[/quote] So you're basically asking to be able to
