Re: OT: The Future of Computer Strategy Games

I think turn-based 4X games are going to continue to fall farther behind other genres in terms of taking advantage of increased computing capabilities. The market for such games is small, so nobody...

Re: Game setup & tech trading

Is there a way to mod that capability out - maybe some file regarding treaty elements?

Re: Game setup & tech trading

I'm not looking for a way to change it, but just to check it to see if I forgot to change that setting in this particular game or if it is ignoring the setting.

If it is ignoring it, that's a...

Game setup & tech trading

Is there any way to check the game setup options on a game in progress?

I usually play with the no tech trading option. I do this because the AI are tech trading whores and left to their own...

Re: Interested in SE-V -- differences to GalCiv II?

It has the effect of limiting strategic movement to certain lanes, but more... There have been several game systems (board or computer) that allowed movement only between certain star stystems. ...

Re: Interested in SE-V -- differences to GalCiv II?

I'm going to address your question in a somewhat different way - not AI or specific features, but about the underlying framework of the game to which everything else is basically bolted on.

Re: The Rumors of FQM\'s Death Are Overrated (Beta

When I follow the link, the download link for FQM 5.00 Beta 11 on spaceempires.net, it goes to a page that says "Sorry, this Module isn't active!".

Re: Flagtastic!

Mark - are you open to a couple of requests?

If so, I'd like to get the UN and the Travellor 3rd Imperium (gold starburst on dark blue background). The former should be readily available, and I...

Re: New Starfire book...

I don't know about that. White was Weber's successor as the Starfire guy at TFG (or at least writer of the Starfire column in TFG's house magazine "Nexus"), so I'm pretty sure he's quite familiar...

Re: [OT] More George Lucas bashing.

If you truly understood nerds, you'd realize that the only point of stuff like that is to justify getting the girl. There is absolutely no point in saving the universe if it doesn't get you laid by...

Re: How similar is it to Galactic Civilizations II

I don't see much similarity between the SE series and the GalCiv series at all, beyond both being 4Xers set in interstellar space.

Re: [OT] More George Lucas bashing.

Actually, the tired old cliche is what happened in the movie - in real life the streetwise cool guy with the hopped-up ride gets the girl, not the starry-eyed nerd. So, in fantasy it should work the...

Re: [OT] More George Lucas bashing.

Gotta disagree. The very first wrong turn was the Imperial Walkers - the importation of Battletech nonsense where it didn't belong. The big trick to armored warfare is low silhouette, and even in...

Re: [OT] More George Lucas bashing.

Maybe I'm hopelessly old-time, but I'd word it "WTF went wrong with Episodes V, VI, I, II, and III?".

The original was everything you said. For years I'd have called it the best movie ever made...

Re: 1.08 bugs.

That's because it always goes by the "start level" on the tech in techareas.txt.

Not exactly a bug, but caused by the same thing...
I was experimenting with racial trait-dependent techs. I...

Re: About the apparent lack of stock empires...

I suspect even these are governed by the Default_Setup_Script file, in that if you add a new one but it isn't listed in the Racial Traits section of that, they won't choose it.

The first thing is documentation. Weeks or months down the road, there will be another patch. In...

Re: Retrofitting

No, you don't. If you select (double click) the ship from the Ships List you can retrofit it w/o removing it from the fleet. It stays in the fleet.
