I swear I have herd what it effects but I did a search and didnt find anything...Sooo

What does a large population do for you? Does it give some kind of bonus to your buildings on said planet with massive population?

Are any of the mods doing anything different?

Yes you can set largest population as a end game win dealio whats-it-called, but does it help you to have a higher population then a small population on a planet?

Does population matter? aside from them being happy and loyal, do they matter?

Would it be possible to mod it in so that newly created ships are made with no supplies and have to be filled up before setting out?

Maybe then have space based resupply and reordinance depots to make construction from starbases viable. (Just because then the whole, build a ship full of supplies, empty it, scrap it strategy wouldn't work and would make proper supply lines more critical.)

We need a hint of what is going on with SEV. 2 months without a new patch. It's not normal, there's gotta be something going on.
C'mon, we want a spoiler!

Well the first version of Scorched Space, has been out for 5 days, and it's gotten some downloading (104 as of this post). While I realize that the lack of an AI hampers any testing, atleast some people have found an issue or two so far.... right... Here would be a good place to post any issues/suggestions for improvemnt.

Hi, I have just recently bought SEV on steam and I´m really starting to hate steam. First of all it downloaded and installed itself on a subdirectory of steam itself without asking where do I want to put it. I distribute my data and applications on a certain way, and this "automatic shit making" is not of my liking to say the least. Besides launching SEV without steam running doesn´t work. The more I see it it seems like steam would be some kind of malware program at least in it´s behaviour.
So the question is: is there any way to convert the steam SEV version to the regular one? If not, can I install a regular SEV version downloaded from the internet (in other words a pirate one) as a workaround? I have bought the license afterall... What would be your thougts on the subject?

In my recent game against an AI I was trying to take over planets when I ran up against some significant weapon platform defenses. I either had to build 50-70 troop ships or I could attack the planet before sending in my troop ships. I miscalcuated how much damage they could do and I ended up glassing the planet

My question: Is there any way for a fleet/ship strategy to be set to all planetary defenses (platforms, fighters and troops) have been destroyed by ships attacking but not the majority of the population?

I have a neighbor with a fairly expansive empire (an entire arm of the spiral, actually) and I'd like to glass a few of his planets. My fleet is vastly superior to his, so the actual combat is not a problem (indeed, the object of this plan is to force him into stopping all research, so he won't ever be a threat). However, I run out of supplies after a few systems, probably due to the large size of my armada and the use of supply-intensive weaponry (psychic weapons, to be specific).

How do you manage fleets that need to strike a systems that are perhaps 8 jumps away? My current strategy is to build a couple of supply ships loaded to the brim with quantum reactors and combine this with a handful of standard supply ships. Hopefully, this will provide enough supplies for a long-term expedition into enemy space.

After end of turn processing (text above the blue line disapperad already) the game hangs for 2-3 minutes.

If you change to any other program during this time you get an error and then game crashes.

If you wait the game comes back to the system view, but the ships don't move anymore. You can see their orders and if you give them new they move again.

The next end of turn the same thing happens.

I play with Balance Mod 1.14.

Hello,

I have a question about system size :

Concerning the system size, i have updated settings.txt as following :
System Width In Hexes := 62
System Height In Hexes := 48
System Point Radius From Center := 984.0

All is ok at this level.

But my problem is coming from distance between the star and others objects (planets, ...). The distance is always "small" (seems maximum distance is 15 hex), and i would like for instance to have a random distance from 1 to 45.

Theres may ways to assault a warp point and many ways to defend a said warp piont. im creating this post as a way to share good stratagies for both. my current stratagies are:

Defence: I will create about 40 sattalites and put them on close proximity to the said warp point so when they come through one by one the get hit by about 20 missiles and 40 DUC shots (Pawnage) Mwahahaha

Assualt: yeah i dont have one really the mom but im open for suggestions what do you guys usually do?
