Derelicts appear bugged...ships autotarget and destroy them, while derelict carreirs launch derelict fighters to attack you.

Giving it the same fire rate as the Kortul's pulse beams is way way too much, too. It'd be fun, sure, but it wouldn't make for an interesting game. Now, a dedicated capital with nothing but that superlaser and with a cooldown (30 seconds, say), THAT would be a good idea.

I think having to resupply things like food and air is a little extreme, but I do like the idea of finite antimatter stores, and of normal weapons using a tiny amount of antimatter.

Or you could just not double post...

[quote who="BrotherShepherd" reply="8" id="2392230"]i dont know a single guy that uses checks where i live.. but is there any option for sending me a bill instead of having to use credit cards? [/quote] And...erm...how exactly do you plan on paying this bill? Normally people pay bills by credit card or cheque, but since you seem to have neither...

No, you're wrong, sorry. It seems to be because you didn't bother to read the rest of the thread. ;)

Just a friendly ribbing. ;)

[quote who="Astax" reply="16" id="2393381"]Envoy Cruisers, I would love to think that the idea of a diplomatic shuttle was my idea :O[/quote] Uh-huh. And I'd like a space pony. :P

Quite true. Are you suggesting strike craft, or a sizable fleet escort? [quote who="Itharus" reply="11" id="2390561"] Hehe, tell it to our nuclear arsenal bro M.A.D. - keeping the peace (well, mostly) since the 1960's.[/quote] ...no comment.

1) No. A dev has just corrected you, which means you are wrong. 2) Regardless you're still a douche for putting [NOTICE] in the topic title as though it's official.

[quote who="Black-Knight" reply="23" id="2389661"] Really? I love MMOII but I really can't get into SOTS, the game always seems to start with this large scale enemy invasion of all planets! Before I can even get acquainted with my planet and my stuff I already have to face some major crisis it feels like a turn-based... RTS (meaning dumb as a RTS and feeling as fake as a RTS, but I may be wrong)... What am I missing? Anyone who know that game has an answer?[/quote] </

Sword of the Stars came pretty close, IMO, to MOO2. I regard it as something of a spiritual successor.

[quote who="N3rull" reply="8" id="2388973"]That's a very short-term way of ensuring cooperation.[/quote] Indeed it is. Is that the sweet smell of strategy my nostrils detect?

Braaaaains...

I partially agree; envoy cruisers should be just a tiny step down from capital ships...in terms of cost and supply use only. As for combat capability, to further the analogy, you don't put uzis and a machine gun on that ambassador's limo. The flagship comment is a fair one. Potential allies would be impressed by the sight of a a mighty Space Egg. Potential enemies mght be more willing to cooperate when they're staring down the barrels of a Marza's seige cannon.

Silly me...I assumed the discussion was ongoing, based on this thread's position at the top of the forum when I read it.

Did you know that you can use scouts and flak frigates? There's no need for a dedicated minesweeper ship.

Evidently you missed this in my post, Allegiance. Here's the list of instructions again: 1. Build a scout. 2. Build a flak frigate. 4. Put the scout and flak frigate in a fleet. 4. Jump to a minefield 5. Sit back and watch. I realize this is an intensely demanding set of instructions, and recognize that even a person of your commendable intellect and skill may have problems executing them, but nevertheless implore to attempt them on your own.</p

Oh dear, oh dear. Well, let's start from the top. As far as the OP goes...lol at the TC who thinks he's more important than anyone else. [quote who="Darksxx" reply="26" id="2350178"]Let me make this as simple as I can, there IS NO Single player game OK? what you think is SP is not its Skirmish plain and simple. there is nNO story there is no Plot its Skirmish.

[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="21" id="2385411"]On the other hand Id really like to see a MineSweeper Frigate as it would allow me to clear a path into the gravity well without having to Micro the movement of my ships around not just the enemy forces but their mines. [/quote] No micro whatsoever is required. Build scout. Build flak frigate. Fleet scout and flak frigate. Jump to minefield. Sit back and watch the explosions. I suggest actually trying this before continuing to theorycr

I like this idea. Very, very much.

Thank the gods the TC is just some overzealous wannabe. If this had been an official thread then I'd have lost all confidence and respect in the dev team.

How about the ability to trade ships or even planets between players?

Oh, balance tweaks! Does this mean the Vasari will finally get some wuv?

Love this mod. (b^_^)b Probably been asked before, but what's that song that plays on the main menu?
