Fighter Repairs

Submitted by Isdahl on Thu, 2008-01-03 02:13. Space Empires V General

When you have damaged fighters that are carrier based, will the carriers repair them like our navy carriers do in RL, or is a repair ship/component required to do the work?

Also since a shipyard is not required to be present on a planet to build fighters, will those same planets be able to repair the fighters they built?

Assume that the fighters have all landed from battles fought for repair purposes. I ask becuase i had 2 fighters and 1 fighter/bomber damaged in a recent battle and on the next turn the planet was attacked again, my fighters launched, but i noticed the engine damage they

PBEM tips? API?

Submitted by Souljourner on Thu, 2008-01-03 08:27. Space Empires V General

My friends and I just picked up this game and have been playing single player to get used to the game. We did a quick multiplayer TCP/IP game over the weekend at a LAN party, but want to get a game going where we don't all have to be online at the same time.

I know you can do manual file transfers via email etc, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to keep the game moving quickly? Of course, ideally I'd like to have an automated process that did all the file transfers and turn processing running on a server somewhere, but I'm guessing such a thing doesn't exist - please let me know if I'm wrong.

Diplomatic conundrum...

Submitted by SevenDeadlySins on Thu, 2008-01-03 12:56. Space Empires V General

I've a situation.

(I'm playing Unnamed Mod w/ 1.66 patch, though I notice this is also a quirk in the stock game.)

A little background first.

I'm playing the Romulan Star Empire, and have amassed a modest little empire. It's a later stage game, and the galaxy has evolved into a nice little group of five empires. Myself, the Xiati Empire, Norak Continuum (Eee) Temmeth Protectorate and the Athichox Consortium.

Early in the game, the Eee and I hit it off, and I formed the Romulan Star Alliance. One by one, (eventually) all the other empires joined the Alliance. Over the course of the next 25 years, all but two proved to be unreliable allies, stirring up trouble with the other members. They would vote to remove fellow allies, make unfair demands, and exercise intelligence operations against allies. At my behest, they were removed, and all was well. The next five years proved quiet, and myself, the Norak Continuum and the Temmeth Protectorate peacefully governed our respective quadrants of the galaxy, while the others went to war.

The Daily WTF

Submitted by ekolis on Thu, 2008-01-03 13:01. Off-topic & Casual Conversations

Anyone here ever been to that site?
www.thedailywtf.com

It makes me crack up practically every day Laughing out loud
"Yeah, let's set the session timeout (in seconds) equal to the user's PIN, so whenever the boss logs in (his PIN is 0010) he can use the system for exactly 10 seconds before being kicked out! What a stroke of genius, reusing variables like that! It saves memory and time, which of course are money! :D"

Creating a new race with it’s own AI

Submitted by althumbs on Thu, 2008-01-03 16:39. SE:V MODs

I have been looking at the AI files (from BM) and I have added (copy paste) AI and changed it for an aggressive AI with high construction rates and a focus on Kamikaze and warheads.
I want a race that will not make treaties with anyone and will pretty much attack. I think this can be set by changing the "anger levels". I am not sure on the effects of the values on the “diplomacy values” so if you could clarify them it would help or if you have something similar I could compare and figure it out.

For testing this race how do I add him/it to a game. There is no selection to add a pre-created race, it just seems random on which races gets selected to play the game. For now I have just be altering the default aggressive scripts and selecting it when I create a race.

Component tech requirement normal increase other than 1

Submitted by CP1985 on Thu, 2008-01-03 23:54. SE:V MODs

Does anyone know the correct formula to mod a component to increase every 2 tech levels? Here's an example of what I'm doing. I'm working on a Space Empires III conversion, the SE III component Emergency Energy Pod increases every 2 levels in propulsion. How do I do this?
