[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="1" id="2156571"]Scout already do that. They have an ability to let you target and destroy mines. A few scouts plus flak or SC can clear a mine field.[/quote] Ah really I thought they only identified them. Thanks will try that later :)
Hi, Recently I have been playing FFA with CPU. I found that terran tend to turtle with the proximity mines upgrade with the starbase fully upgraded just after you wrap in. I used it on others as well and it's quite fun. But then I think this need to be countered with. My suggestion is to upgrade the scouts ships with some ways to nullitified the mines.
Hi, Just wondering whether the above is digital download ? thanks.
I have a 2Ghz Dual core with 4 GB RAM and 256 MB Graphics card. The game lags when there are lots going on as well. I even try to tone down the settings but to no avail. Not sure whether it CPU or graphics. I only get 4-8 fps when there are a few players with huge fleets. Hence I usually play medium maps since on bigger maps, my game experience drops. Anything I can do to imrpove this ?
Both games has its merits, but I understand what the original poster meant. It would be good if it played like civilization I think. :D
Hey, I encountered this scenario in 2 of my games. I find that the AI suffer or play poorly if I use low fleet size in the game option. This is my observation for my last 2 games with the new version 1.3. :D
I also like to play vs multiple hard AI. You just have to slow down the speed once you see a big fleet to your planet. Send a similar fleet to your planet. Normally they only send fleet to your weaker planets hence you need to research the tech to see incoming fleet. Normally those planet-bombing frigates are my 1st targets. Queue 2-3 cruisers to take out them dependning on the numbers. They pushovers and die easily. Focus fire the bombers on their capital ship. Queue another 3-5 cruis
Also speaking from experience. I think you can only benefit from one culture building. Meaning 10% max like the previous poster has said. I have tried 3 culture buildings and I still receive the same amount. Basically allegiance is determined by distance from your capital. But you can only add 10% to it. But it's good to build at least one to spread your culture to enjoy the benefits. TEC culture allows you to regenerate antimatter faster for example. And also to colonize borders plane
I think they do attack each other. But usually they will attack the weakest faction or a valuable planet. Check your ranking constantly. If you are usually the highest (ex. 3 out of 3 players), the chances are you will be attacked. This game does not favor defensive. Tried to keep churning out fleet. One thing good about this game, even a lowly frigate has its merits. You just have to complement it with another cruisers or another. Hope this helps.
I was playing a 8 players FFA in a 3 stars systems. I have only 4-5 framerates during the mid-game. So movements are very slow. I tried to disable and tone down all settings to low or disable them if they only provide comestic looks. I have a AMD (3800+) 2GHz 4GB RAM ATI Radeon 1950 Pro 256 MB (1 year old system). Anything I can do to improve the frames.
I found that those distant stars has low allegiance . How do you improve on them ? Or conquer my present star and then relocate my capital ?
Hi, One of the research is Arid. Does the game has any arid planets ?
I found this problem quite a few times nearly every game I played. Sometimes the research will not do anything even if there is only 1 queue. The status bar will not budge even though I have turned up the speed to 8X and wait for more than 5 minutes. Tried undo and click on other trees but still same result. Luckily usually this happens when I have the upper hand. But then it deprive me of getting the full tech though. ,
Usually credits not a problem in mid-game. Crystals usually for me probably not playing as TEC. Like others said Trade ports. Trade ports increase income by a little for each planet. So everything adds up. Usually not a problem if you can get 20+/s at least for me. :)Usually have ten of thousands of credits but no crystals to spend. :P
Just some simple pointers. Dun play defensively. Even on small map, there are I think around 10 planets. You need 4-5 to at least match the AI. Know your tech tree. Dun queue too many research at the same time. KNOW your ships. This is very important. Different ships has different use. Usually cruisers. Some ppl use frigates but I prefer to manage less than more. Do remember there is one frigate type that is good for planet assault. Crystal follow b
FOr me I think just use another matching fleet with better upgrades (armor, shield or weapons etc.). Using Capital ships abilities usually help. There is no fast rule. The best person who is better at micro a battle with similar fleet usually wins. :)
