Re: Started playing

When you colonize that new planet try building weapon platforms or satellites first before anything else. If the AI doesn't have point defence weapons yet put missles on them and see if that helps...

Re: Warp Speed

I notice the game moves faster when my modem is on. Some people say it goes faster when some sound programs are on also. It also goes very slow for me when I have been using my modem and then turn it...

Re: Secret of the 89 Movement point BaseShip

The colonists are dehydrated and frozen then stored on racks thereby using up much less room http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif. Just defrost and add water.

Re: Question to Tampa Gamer about Darlok

If you have any of the racial abilities set to less than 100 the computer ignores them. So if you hope to create more points by for instance setting Strength to 50 then setting cunning higher you...

Re: Trek fans, Name the Founder leader

Since the founders are a group mind they probably don't have any individual names. Except of course for the ones created in the experiment that created Odo. None of the founders seem to want to stay...

Re: TG contest and system facilities bug ?

I think as the game is set up right now (not including the bug with time shrines) Religious is a good choice for roleplay and to give the computer a small edge. Its definately not an overwelming tech...

Re: TG contest and system facilities bug ?

Well it says right on the Time shrine and the SRF that there can be only one with this effect per system. Since the effects are the same they should not stack. The only advantage the time shrines...

Re: Can some atmosphere be changed to none ?

Actually there are a lot of "none" planets out there you just call them moons http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon12.gif. A no atmosphere start isn't that much of a handicap really. I...

Re: TG contest and system facilities bug ?

I did build both time shrines on the same planet to test them but the SRF and the Time shrines were in many systems and most were on other planets and that is why I though they stacked that way. Good...

Re: Newbie question--autolaunch?

Well having more units is good but build a few resource storage facilities also if you have a surplus. You will need it to allow you to keep building ships later.

Re: Game map too small

Also look in the mod section for a file with more system names in it. If you go over the default 150 systems you will find systems without names unless you add more names to that file.

Re: Race characteristics - what\'s hot... what\'s not

I like the religious tech area because it is not all powerful but does have some good infrastructure effects. The war shrine and death shrine aren't that useful yet but if the AI gets more powerful...
