Re: Refit "sizes not identical" bug

I am almost certain that this is a design I had made a new turns ago but I will try again this turn to refit and see what happens...

Refit "sizes not identical" bug

It seems even in 1.67 Gold if you try to refit ships you often get told you can't because they are not the same size when they are. Very annoying! Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a...

Wanted: new "lead empire" in "Quick Gold Game for Newbies"

The leading empire in a three sided game has had to drop out because of lack of time - just when he is on the brink of an all out attack on the second place empire (me!). Is anyone interested in...

Re: "Wait a second" command

If I turn on my fleet minister will it just allow me to perform functions like "merge fleet" or will it start moving my fleets on its own. If the latter, it is not worth it!

Seeing all at the end of game?

If all players agree is there any way to easily "freeze the game" and make everything your Empire is up to viewable by everyone? I suppose everyone could agree to enter partnerships with everyone...

Re: "Wait a second" command

In answer to "construct" I mean in "strategic movement" not during combat turns. And I wouldn't want to pause an entire turn - just one or more "movement points" so ships from different locations...

"Wait a second" command

When you have ships a little distance from each other and you want them to combine into a single fleet to attack is there any way to ask the ones in the lead to wait while the other ships join before...

Re: Gold Patch installing problem

PvK's suggestion didn't work for me, annoyingly. Shrapnel should patch its patch so that Users don't have to jump through all those hoops to get existing games working again!

Mines and treaties

What if I am allied with someone for trade purposes but still want to build up minefields to keep him from invading. Is there any way to say "he's my friend but I still want my mines to attack"?

Re: Stupid fighters!

They were alone with their carrier. They didn't run to the corners but didn't attack anything either - they launched then "milled around"!

SE IV strategic combat improvement?

Surely it should be possible in simeultaneous move games to watch the damage happening as the turns progress instead of seeing ships fly around seemingly unharmed until they blow up. Is there any way...

Stupid fighters!

I have been playing against the computer with SE IV Gold. I found that my fighters (very basic DUC I models) were not engaging the enemy even though they were set to "optimum range" as default. I had...

SE IV Gold tech tree document

James Sterrett wrote a SE IV tech tree description in a big Word document but I have noticed in gold that a lot of things have changed. Is he or someone else working on an updated document?
