Mystery Techs
Hello,
I just got SEIV on Fri., played about 12 hours worth over the weekend. I'm enjoying it but I have a question.
I was playing Last night ( and I thought I was winning ) I was ranked 2nd and way ahead of my opponents in Tech (or so I thought)...
I had a 17 odd battleship armada taken out by 3 of my opponents ships. I looked at his configurations ( PC opponent I should add ) and his weapons were literly 100 times better than mine. The PC player had some guns (?) that looked sort of like hot-crossed-buns that did several hundred points of damage at close range + he also had guns that enabled him to take over my ships!?!! Arrgh! Boarding parties schmording parties.
Is there a tech list (with pictures) so I can figure out how to research those super-guns the next time I play? Most of my reasearch choices said 'completed' so I thought that I'd covered my backside on the weapons count anyways.
Are there 'techs' that can only be discovered on ruins for example, that might explaing the 'buns of death' and the 'barrels of ship capturing'??
And another point, I was playing this same game Last night, and *everyone* wanted to ally ... for about 50 turns it was one friendly game... then, somehow, I found that *I* owned one of my 'soon-to-be master's' ships?? Is it possible that I stole it with a covert ops? Or does the PC occasionally toss a ship over to it's allies?
Apologies for all the questions, I thought more was going to be in the manual...
This is one great game, btw, I found myself thinking about it while I was at work today - that's rare for a PC game nowadays...
