Re: Question about AI diplomacy

I am not exactly sure what the tone does it may affect the chance the AI will accept a request from you depending on how different your scores are. Then again I might have that backwards sorta, I...

Re: ? on AIs

I managed to get the EA to build a couple of baseships once, but I did so much tinkering with the files that I had to replace them with the defaults from the TDM modpack though due to problems.

Re: Question about huge galaxies

BTW even if you set it for 255, you will probably only get about 200-225 systems because of the way they are placed by the game engine. You can increase your chances of having more systems by...

Re: Cargo idea

In seriousness I don't think fighters should contribute to boarding defense. Even if they were ready to go, armed, loaded, and manned, would you really want to fire weapons made to kill other...

Re: Dose any think it would be good idea?

The research point generation ability currently only works for planetary facilities. You can add it to a ship component, but it won't do anything.

Re: Cargo idea

Oh ok, just saw the name once in an Online game I used to play. Didn't know if it was a common one if fantasy stuff or something.

Re: Cargo idea

As it stands right now, I don't think you can do that based on the cargo. You could assign it a generic boarding defense value, but it would defend even if the bay was empty.

BTW did you ever...

Re: AI needs to be MUCH more aggressive

The AI is pretty bad at making long term strategic military decisions a lot of the time. Right now it mostly attacks planets only if they are in a contested system. I've seen the AI use DN's with...

Re: Temporal Weapons Questions

Re: Temporal Weapons Questions

You can mod the facilities file so you upgrade from a normal shipyard to a temporal shipyard. Not sure if that's really plausible, but then again temporal tech in general may not be plausible. Just...

Re: Remote Mining Economics

I didn't mean for that to come out negative, just seems like you're someone who's used to doing a lot of number crunching.

Re: Remote Mining Economics

LCC are you some kind of statistics major or do a lot of work with analytical math? You do more number crunching on this game by yourself than the rest of us combined &lt;G&gt;

Re: To AI modders

1) bombers which attack enemy ships and bases
2) Interceptors which attack enemy fighters,...

Re: Repairs

I agree the costs have to be elevated for playability's sake. It just seems counter intuitive on the face of it. In my mind I just assumed that the costs came from all the indirect support and...

Re: Poor AI

Re: Ripper Beams

LCC if you're planning on capturing enemy ships the SDD can be a huge pain in the rear. It's a relatively small component so it's hard to hit, seems that you almost always nail the bigger components...

Re: Ripper Beams

If you are only considering being able to destroy every component possible than the RB is more effective. But you don't have to destroy the entire target to render it combat ineffective. So if a...

Definately get the TDM modpack. It doesn't change the tech and or mess with any of the game's rules, but it does script the AI's to act more intelligently or efficiently.
