Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
I don't think the Gundam themselves should be counted as capital ships. They're still more like fighters, they can be carried with capital ships. Probably a more suitable approach would be to make them available from different capital ships. Like, if you build a Whitebase (so old, I know) it will be a carrier for Gundam, Gun Canon, Gun Tank and probably a few Gms. Don't know if that's possible to do, but just an idea.
It can probably serve as an oasis - supplying water to near by desert and volcanic planets. Allowing those to have increased max population and growth.
how do you install the mod? Paste it over the original GameInfo folder?
You have to also understand the newbie side. When people only play casually, it's not fun to play a losing game and slowly see your empire get crushed. Quitting is frustrating for the winning side, but staying to see yourself get crushed is also frustrating for the losing side too. It's not fun to see and not fun to bear, so people quit when they see that coming. Unless you can make the experience a pleasant one, "Oh look my planet's slowly dying one by one! I'm so happy!" I don't think
[quote]giance[/quote] Actually that does make sense when you think about game play too.... If a player with cap fleet got destroyed for example, with all the up keep he's paying, how is he going to rebuild his army? I think basing the upkeep on your actual unit will gives much more chance of recovering from such loss.
Do they have to be placed at your capital to work? Does having broadcast centers built at each planet help anything? I tried to research upgrade for them but I don't see my planet's allegiance getting any better.
There should be only 1 base yea. Pirates aren't a problem later on when you have 50+ fleet with 3-4 motherships supporting. I normally just let them attack whoever at that point in game. They have no bigger ships so they're easy targets. I even like them to attack myself to gain levels for my newer mothership. Destroying their base eliminates them forever and you can even colonize the base. But it's more of a burden than it helps because we can only upgrade its defense and not economy.
