Re: A bad idea

They've been pushing Space Horse very heavily- given that it's gotten fairly good Ratings in Computer Games Monthly, among other places, I think that they're trying to get sales roaring along. And...

Re: 10 Minute Demos?

Erm, not to join a flame bandwagon, but have you tried out any of the other products? Many of them offer whole scenarios, and SE:IVG lets you play enough turns to get a good feel for what the engine...

Re: The Boar\'s Head Pub

Sorry guys, I didn't know that I had to keep it moving- my thought was that it would kinda self-perpetuate if we could get new folks writing sections, and then I could put it into a silly comic, or...

Re: Troops

Personally, I'd aim for a scenario where standard weapons would be close to useless for killing pop, myself. Most of the standard weapons are beams and such- not the things you'd use to kill people...

Re: Game Bottleneck

Yeah, I can see where MM was going with this. . . but at the same time, I just feel a bit miffed when I hit the "wall" in production about midgame. Seriously speaking here, from a game design...

Re: Frustration (balance)

Actually(and I'll have to check now that you've mentioned it) in MOOII movement bonuses were purely based on engines(and mods to them) and ship size. A strange thing about MOOII is that you had a...

Baron's changes seem to be the way to go, imho! Just reading the idea made me want to immediately get into modding hehehe. . . if I could do *that* and few other small tweaks. . . lol, I'm sure...

Re: Game Bottleneck

Can I boost the rate by which the Space Yard can produce, much like boosting resource production? That way, I can construct planets that are based around building spacecraft, and further-specialize...

Re: Frustration (balance)

True. . . but on the other hand, if you worked out the pure damage levels(and since this game, like MOOII, only has pretty weak "if damage doesn't exceed X, then has no effect" defenses, this is a...

Re: Stellar Manipulation

Hrmm. I think I'll blow up every system surrounding my "core"- a group that represents my principal resources, etc. . . and see if I *ever* see an AI player show up. Interesting point there, I...

I have a silly question: why would anybody bother landing troops? If I can't capture the unique racial techs. . . and I can develop tech that will make even unattractive planets livable later on. ....

Re: Stellar Manipulation

You're probably right Geoschmo. . . players would probably gang up on me, *if* they catch it happening soon enough. That depends on who's communicating with whom, of course. . . and whether or not...

Re: Frustration (balance)

One of the things that's *really* missing from the play balance. . . imho. . . is that, unlike in MOOII, higher levels of the same tech aren't *smaller* than their originals. Yeah, I know that isn't...

Re: War and Peace Question

I'll have to try those techniques out. . . although since many of the AI empires don't seem to understand that they're horribly outclassed when I glass 4-5 planets per turn, per smallish fleet(I...

Re: Stellar Manipulation

Oh and as for being "fair" to the AI. . . hehe, I'm planning to play humans, which are the only decent opponants I'm likely to find. The AI's reaction is too clumsy to really tell me how this is...

Re: Stellar Manipulation

Actually, here's how I used the strat: I blew up every system that was currently weakly inhabited or "buffer" systems that I could control temporarily. . . I didn't use it as an instant death-blow...

Stellar Manipulation

Well, I have a Q for y'all. . .

Why would you *not* constantly destroy suns, past midgame? How can it not be to your advantage to constantly deny your opponants room to grow, whilst using warp...

Re: War and Peace Question

Question about Gold

Hey folks, if anybody knows the answer to this, I'd really appreciate it:

The promo for SEIV Gold has a mystifying feature listed that states, "multiple bitmaps per vehicle size".

Re: Stealth Armor: Unbalanced

If y'all don't mind, I'm going to butt in. . .

This sort of back-and-forth about stealth has led me to what looks like a good compromise:
