[quote who="numerarius5988am" reply="371" id="2491258"]Their lead scientist now has a starship/shuttlecraft of his own by which he can intercept the Destiny. [/quote] uhh... i know its going to play a part... but i doubt that shuttle itself is going to get him back to the Destiny because 1. i figure the Destiny is travelling much faster than that shuttle could, and 2. Rush etc had to go through a stargate to get to the shuttle, so they're already very far away to begin with....</

also, you were playing on your home turf, you should have been able to drop a regen bay and at least 1 turret or one or the other... yes its not even but i think we've come to the conclusion its not even at all... if you were to attack his planet he would certainly have a regen bay or a turret or even an sb so.... you gotta use whats at your disposal... why plan a battle strategy that expects losses when you can plan one that leaves him devastated and you without a scratch...

i was reminded of a post by someone a few months ago about the Marza's hangar bay at the bottom of the ship, he thought it was an access port for the marza captain to hang out of while yelling at enemy ships thereby destroying them =P

i always figured it was a decision on the part of the developers not to have AI build superweapons... though i cant honestly tell you why... then again, envoy ships are no different coding wise to cap ships except caps need research and some prerequisites, such as fleet supply etc... so... maybe there needs to be a new personality that uses superweapons or else have a button in the game settings that allows or disallows superweapons...

i just played a game with the aggressor AI trait (i usually play researcher thinking it may play smarter somehow without rushing me) but i found that if you can hold off the initial assault, the AI plays much better, smarter even, than any other personality... i like the idea of making the distinction between the personalities more distinct... a quick fix could be, for example, making research cheaper or researcher AI, making tradeports and tradeport income cheaper/higher respectively

i disagree with the reducing SB's in Star GW's, the idea is that SGW's are so large that you need more than one to effectively control the territory. if the AI's were programmed with the ability to put a SB in an SGW it wouldnt be a problem, but then i dont see SB's in UCGW's either so it must have something to do with the AI placing SB's in GW's it doesnt own. but im sure we can all agree that regardless the AI needs a boost, though it may not be possible because atm programm

yeah, excuse my MP ignorance... but a Sova can only field like 4 or 5 squadrons of SC in its first few levels right? why not take a battleship and a carrier or anything to support it really, or just 2 battleships/juggernaughts etc, supported by a few LF/LRF and flak... drill the sova into the ground and let your flak mop up its SC... its not like 5 squadrons of SC are going to take down your capships, and frigs are easily replaceable... idn, it just seems that if you do what e

well for that matter there is a weird protrusion shown in the above pic next to those autocannon batteries, wonder what that is? as for the door between the engines... either the warning lights/strips etc are for a door used for taking in fuel/supplies, or it is trying to warn you that you are staring up the ass of a colossal great spaceship that is about to incinerate you with its engines =) looks like a MASSIVE door though, must be for supplies though i cant figure

alot of the things you mentioned are improved in the Distant Stars Mod, Ryat posted a link to it in the first reply DL the mod and play a bit, everything from the graphics to the cap ships are improved. for instance, i really only play with DS anymore, so when you said the Big Red Button graphic was a let down i was confused as to what you were talking about because in DS it ROCKS.
