i just downloaded the latest upgrade and i have resource ships but no trade ships so with out the trade ships does that mean the trade ports are useless right now oh and i do like the new trade port look
when i send ships into a fight and decide to retreat they will not
which brings up another point, I think there needs to be a button to determine the range at which a ship will move to get at an enemy, 100 meter movement, 1000 meter movement, no movement, stay within gravity well, chase through to other gravity wells etc. there is sort of ships can protect the gravity well or protect a small area around where they are
pd frigates this is the role that the flax frigates should be playing
ok no more chicken but i got what i wanted
lets have a discussion not a fight
Considering that the last post here is from quite some time ago, I'll not reinitiate the debate by throwing in my ideas I came up with when reading the full 4 pages of this thread chicken
armour adds to the hit points of the ship but you have to repair it shields adds to the hit points of the ship but you only have to recharge it pds defends the ship from any damage which has already been said
mine are flying into hangers or whatever buildings and each other and they also end up stacked up and down too it is pretty sad that the construction frigate puts a dent in every building he/she builds
what i mean is instead of going around obstickles the ships will run up to it and then bounce off of it until the ship finds away around it just like those old wind up toys for tables run up to the edge and then bounce around until it finds a clear path
sorry i thought it was a ring toss game
*hangs halo over head* how does that fit over those horns
ok
yes
the ones in my game are still being grouped in 5 so am i missing something and i did update at easter
sorry schem i thought you might have known that was from the honeymooners
i accidently double clicked sins on stardack central and it seems that it has an upgrade that isnt avaible for me ie the ships in mine groups 5 the ones on stardock central groups of 10 and frig. fractories and research stations are reveresed

no philosophy. that definition is wrong. point-defense is about protecting a singular target from missile and rocket strikes. not about shooting down aircraft that may be targeting one of many different ships. anyway, wiki has some interesting "trivia" on CIW systems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-in_weapon_system and you blast me for not stating i am quoting something when we both the samething except i actually looked somethi
schem reread the start of this thread and then tell me i am not talking about what the author is and by the way the pheonix is an anti-air weapon primary use is anti-missile but don't you think it can also bring down an aircraft if it gets with in range anti-air by the way means anything in the air aircraft, missiles, balloons, rockets, or ufos
However if that is the case then all weapons may target the missile, and not just flaks, and autocannons. that is how the bizmark scored against one british fighter it used it's main gun and effectively splashed it out of the water you see the british navy didnt trust aircraft at the time so the few carriers they had were using swordfish(biplane) the aaa guns on the bizmark were built to fight modern fighters at the time <b
you are forgiven schem you looked up a weapon not a system The name is sometimes spelled AEGIS, supposedly an acronym for phrases such as Advanced Electronic Guidance Information System. However, such attributions seem to be backronyms or fake etymologies. (It is also possible there has been some confusion with the EGIS software used by some AWACS aircraft.) The main manufacturer of the Aegis combat system, Lockheed Martin, makes no mention of it being an acronym. Combat
yes sorry i don't spell very well point defense can be the removal of missiles and fighters/bombers after all what is a fighter but a missile with a pilot. granted a reusable missile again as in the other post i will say that for an ecm/eccm platform we already have the scout and that is what one of the missions of a scout is to provide ecm/eccm for the fleet
the flax frigate is a point defense ship it's primare mission is fighter/bomber destruction
moo3 also has pds although in the vanilla game it is cheaper to use the light weapons
