Re: I wonder

Cloaking's not available as a researchable technology but could the race have something like it as an undocumented special ability?

Sounds more like a bug to me but it might not be - the bug might...

4 UI improvements to SE IV I would like to see

Re: 4 UI improvements to SE IV I would like to see

I'm not a beta-tester but I saw a post from somebody who is saying that the issue covered in point #3 is high on MM's list of things to do and may already be implemented in the new demo coming out...

Space Stations--Pros/Cons

Re: Space Stations--Pros/Cons

That's a good idea. Not only does it balance things a bit, but it is also easy to believe a fixed and stable firing platform would have a longer effective range compared to something that is on the...

Re: I wonder

I can't remember where (maybe in the FAQ on the MM site?) but I'm pretty sure I read about doing exactly that. I think the question was stated "how do you fix a damaging warp point?" and the answer...

Re: Anybody using Ground Combat/Units??

I'm also happy with the style of the ground combat as it is. More sophistication would be nice and more player control would *defintely* be nice, but I agree with you completely: space combat is the...

Apparently not at this time, but it seems to be a popular suggested change.

Re: Random conjectures and questions.

I'd hoped somebody more knowledgable would respond as I've been asking the same questions to myself, especially about syncronized troop drops.

I have noticed one thing about ramming. I prefer for...

Re: Things I don\'t like in Space Empires 4

I remember having both Rules of Engagement and Breach II - the pair that "fit together" to handle ship-to-ship and boarding actions with the two seperate programs. It was awesome in the extreme! I...

Re: Cargo/launch bays

The Q-ships idea is a great one, IMHO, especially for multi-player (nasty tricks are even more fun when there's a real pair of human teeth grinding together over them <smirk> ).

I think it'd work...

Re: Ministers

Hmm, bug or feature, I wonder? If the Ministers aren't keying in on Type, why on Earth (or Betelguese or Regulus or . . . ) not? It seems just as simple a way to program the AI behavior as basing...

Re: News from Malfador

I'm not grousing but I think I'm impatient to see the improvements in the new beta. It's only the 1st and I'm already checking in with the hope it might be there. ;-)

As far as the delay goes, I...

Re: Anybody using Ground Combat/Units??

It's just a matter of personal taste but IG2 left me rather cold, good ground combat or not.

It certainly has its strong points but it lacks the depth and versatility of SE4. IG2 seemed flat to...

Re: Weapons Platforms Usage?

I can see your point now that I see the stats. I've never researched WPs beyond the first level, where that size difference really widens, and while I've been using shields and armor, I haven't...

I'm probably just missing it, but I'm having a hard time finding the value in weapons platforms. It seems to me that satellites are a better choice. Granted, they are smaller but they can be...

Are you sure about that? It was my impression that turning on Finite Resources merely limits the amount of each resource available on each planet, as opposed to scattering a certain amount of the...

Re: Ideas for More goodies

I'd love to see fleet strategy scripting. It'd be a tricky feature to add but being able to constuct a library of self-scripted strategies to use alongside the standards like "Optimum Firing Range"...
