Re: OT - Good sci fi TV shows?

I'll add another to that list of movies: James Cameron's "The Abyss".

Interesting note on "The Abyss" and "2001". In both cases the book was written at the same time as the film, and in both cases...

Re: Proportions Mod Versions 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 available

Yup - good idea for V3 I think!

Mind you, I also like the idea of a Racial Trait, so either way - I think both would be too much? - would be fine with me.

By the way, I still love Proportions -...

Re: Proportions Mod Versions 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 available

FWIW by the way, Iain M Banks' Culture novels have, indeed, got AI in charge of fleets - indeed, arguably, simply in charge, full stop.

Terrific reading. I especially liked - and recommend -...

Re: Do you use Trillian?

OK. Would someone like to tell me what they use Trillian (or any of these other programs) for? Sorry, but it really, honestly, beats me!

Re: Do you use Trillian?

I don't use Trillian (I had to look up what it was) but then I don't use any kind of IM program, not even (?) ICQ: haven't actually found a need for one.

Then again I don't use a mobile phone...

I usually build a 'Logistics Fleet' with a couple of Space Yard Ships, at least 2 (usually more) Repair Ships and a whole bunch of Tankers. Farm out some or most of the Tankers to the active fleets,...

Re: Isometric View - Rotate?

OK, so there's no way to rotate the map.

Isometric View - Rotate?

Hi:
Not having bought the game (yet), could someone tell me if the POV of the player can be rotated so you can see "what's behind that wall" on the isometric display?

Re: Proportions and Facilities

I think I agree with Aub: the course you describe is far more micro-managed than a standard game of SEIV.

In a standard game, I load up the entire queue (say, 25 slots) and forget it until it's...

Not so Dogscoff: In Proportions you've won when you take the second Alien Homeworld - the AI has no way back from there.

Arguably, just taking the first will do.

But that depends entirely on the need for escort/support ships. For example, in the age of sail, the only need for smaller ships was for scouting duties (they were faster) not for stand-up battles....
