Isn't inactive pirates is just like a planet with local militia. They are essentially the same, isn't it. You guys got no problem with local militia, but got a problem with pirates that don't go on raids? that's kind of sad.
So, what you are saying is that capital ship upgrades can only be upgraded based on how many military labs you have. i.e. if you have one military lab, you can only upgrade the capital ship up one level. You cannot upgrade more until you build another military lab. Also you are saying, that unit upgrade or supply should be based on civilian labs, because it is easy to max out the supply. However, your reason is flawed. the unit supply is based on military units, i.e. frigates, cruisers, and capi
[quote]Right, new question: if your opponent captures one of these out from under your nose, then scuttles it... is there any way to get it back?[/quote] That is soo noobish! it is invulnerable, so you can't scuttle it.
I have the same problem. I think it has to deal with your scroller. If it is clicky one , then it would not work. I have both a click mouse wheel and non click mouse wheel. The non click mouse wheel work while starting the game, while the click mouse wheel doesn't work when starting the game
Very early game, one capital ship and a couple of figates (3 should be enough) should be able to take out a pirate attack.
if your playing a medium map, the enemy should not have come to you that quickly. If you are playing with pirates. you have to go to the pirate symbol. (right next to the research icon), and you need to outbid your AI opponent so that the pirates is gonna attack them not you. There is also a message saying pirate attack is immanent. that is when you go to the icon and try to outbid your opponent. try to keep some credits so you can outbid them. It is not hard. then you will have more time to bui
How about this.. for all the races.. u got to research all techs in the specific catagory (military or civilian) before researching the superweapons. That way you will need more time and money to research all preceding techs. So people will can't rush to superweapons before they finish researching everything else to the fullest. That way people have to spend a whole lot of resources researching. It gives the other players more time to get an attack going. It make since, because research
the -4 supply probably means you are in a processing of upgrading another fleet supply and it have not finished yet, but you queued up a lot of ships that are not going to build until it is above the supply.
25 stars is fine if you put like 5 planets per star, not 25 to 100 planets. About how many planets/astriodes/space anomies are you planning to have, roughly?
It happens with capital ship too i think.
Did you upgrade your Cap ship requirement, and start building or queuing a cap ship without the upgrade being finished yet? The cap ship indicator will become -1, -2, so on depending on how many times your upgrade with out being finished before queuing up that number of cap ship. After the upgrade completes, it would increase to 0, and the factory will start building the ship. Also, cap ship need a lot of logistics, so building one cap ship will need 1 cap ship point and about 60 (i do
You do have to re download it. The beta and the actual game are completely different files.
Your using vista 64bit?? there is your problem there.. I have XP pro and not planning to upgrade to vista anytime soon. If i have to upgrade, I will upgrade to 32bit, atleast more games supports that.
You could just make it so that, the pirate raid timer is random. That will be more benificial I think. Of course it would be an annoyance to check everytime, but it is, What I think a good annoyance. Because it is Random, you will have to check the pirate raid every time, but it would be random so it could be one minute or to 60 minute. You would not know until u check it. I think that is a better idea for pirates.
I played a game with the one ally AI and 2 hard AI comps. I was getting the planets in the middle star system where they are 5 stars. I encountered an AI's culture spreading like flys out of one planet. It even had an easy time cutting through my planet with a communication array. When I got there to investigate. The AI actually built 3 communication array on one planet. That was actually a first for me. But i destroyed them in time before it caused some real damage. Though I can't get one of th
If you look at the newest screen shots. The one with the big map, there is a button on the top -mid left. It has a icon which shows a what a director used in acting. I think that is the cinematic button
I just got the new beta 4 patch, What does the patch include??
Hello, When i was playing the game last night, I discover that when i and upgrading the logistics of the planet, I can build more logistic building before it finished upgrading. This could be happening with the tactical upgrade too, though I have not tested that. The planet is in the middle of upgrading the logistic, but i can build logistic building higher than my planet current output. I think it should be changed so that after your planet finishes upgrading, u can build more logistic b
I had some of that problem when i was playing too.
When playing and selecting the whole battle group on a planet, I often have to de-select the construction frigate icon to not make it move away. The construction frigate icon should be a different pick so it will make us easy to select it to move away from harm if a enemy attacks or not de-select from the whole battlegroup if i want them to go to another planet.
Hey.. I just got the beta 4 version. I'm just wondering if you guys had trouble with the mouse wheel not zooming in or out. I checked the options and it doesn't have any option to change the mouse keys. If you guys can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel. What settings did u guys put to make it zoom in and out. I can only do it with the v and b keys. Using the mouse wheel to zoom in a out is better and i'm used to that.
