Why would anyone try and also be able to shut down someone's mod?

Yup. I imagine with friends I can just send the file to them and they can put it in the folder. But if I have say someone I don't know on IC that wants to play it, i'm not sure how to give it to them.

How do I share my maps?

It's not a huge deal and it's brand new so I wouldn't expect an immediate response. I could see how it would be annoying though...

I'd still like to see Battleships used more often in Multiplayer. Whenever I play against someone who doesn't spam and uses battleships it makes it a lot more fun. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the dynamic nature of the battles, or that by killing a battleship can turn the tied in a battle.

Was this addressed at all in 1.11? This still seems to happen all the time.

Sounds like a good idea. Try it out.

One last question before I go for lunch... Now that we can make abilities cost resources, can they also use up antimatter at the same time?

I was wondering the same thing. Could you just replicate that as an ability though? Create an ability that produces the same result?

You hate me :( We can make more ships produced from Frigate Factories though right? So right now I think it's 5 and 4 ships in the frigate and cruisers screens. Can we make room for s 9 and 9? (not that I necessarily want to, but just checking my options)

Muchas Gracias! And is it possible to build non capital ships from the capital ship factory?

Yeah, I'll just have to make the station produce a small amount of credits. Well, I guess worse case I can just put phase cloaking on for now, but wouldn't that make it so someone could just put the ability on and they could never be destroyed? I might have to wait until entrenchment to finalise that. Well by the time I get started and finished this mod, Entrenchment will be long out anyways haahh. Well Annatar, since you're on the ball today, what kind of "pass

I've wondered the same thing. Sometimes I notice the longest trade route isn't the longest at all lol.

I just went to the washroom and had an epiphany on the throne. Ok so, I know it's possible to spawn ships from other ships. And certain people have made ships that are just platforms that sit in space. Like mobile defense. Is it possible to make those mobile defense platforms capital ships? My idea is this: A secret space station that could guard astroid belts, produce ships and stay hidden. This is for a rebel

Oh wow, that looks like I could do some fun changes. I'm thinking if I make them bigger and slightly fewer, killing them will be a little more worth while. Might be good to just park a battleship in a astroid belt full of trade ships and start killin them. Hopefully the result will be protecting trade routes will become a bigger priority. If only I could make them NOT go through the pirate bases hahaha. EDIT Is i

Yeah for the carrier I meant the taxes and mining. Hey do you know how much you get for each trade ship?

The trade thread got me thinking, is it possible to change the mesh of trade ships, the amount of income each one brings in and the amount of trade ships produced? I'm thinking of making fewer trade ships, that are a lot bigger and have more income for each.

We can scuttle trade ships? I never even knew that. Hey I got a question too. When privateering the enemy trade ships, does our trade income in the credit screen increase? I haven't ever seen it go up. I think I have noticed it go down if i'm getting privateered a lot but not the opposite. Same with stealing resources with the carrier.

From what I see they aren't used at all online except the first free one. And with capital ships you can only build a max of 16 after extensive research. If we saw a whole bunch more would that be a bad thing?

Settle down there tiger, I was just shocked that he had the exact same idea I did and posted it on the same day (actually within a couple hours). I wasn't sure if he was building on it or it was just coincidence.

I play online sometimes, but to be honest I almost get more enjoyment out of playing against computers. Online is all about spamming 1 or 2 units. It gets really boring jumping in a game only to find out the enemy has 40 lrms and countering such a specialized fleet really isn't all that effective. When I play against computers I use all my ships including caps. I have well rounded fleets and enjoy the battles. Online I find it's the same old same old everytime. Spam this or spam that.

what the.. did you read my post in the dev diary?

I think by almost he means All or Almost all.

Hello, What do you think would happen if battleships were reduced in cost by approx 30%? 2000 cr, 250 m, 150 c

I just played a game against an illum spammer and my carriers with fighters didn't really do much. Maybe I didn't have enough carriers to his illums, but for the amount of resources I pumped into them I would have expected to kill more of his ships. Did 1.1 really fix it and I just suck?
