I noticed something odd about the Emergency Build for queues...the description says it's 200% for a year, followed by 50%. It actually is doing 150% and 25%.

Is this a typo or a Balance Mod change?

I have been modding SE4 for a while now and playing it too. My mod is going to be an extensive overhaul of the graphics and the game combined with some modified ideas from existing mods. I am about half way done now. This mod will change just about everything and make ALL of the graphics better.

It is my intention to add over 100 new events with new pictures in addition to the events that have been added by various other mods. While editing the Events file I have not seen any of my new "Points - Change" events occur and it made me realize that I don't think that I have ever seen one happen.

Greetings All,

This looks like a decent community, so I hope I don't get flamed for such noob questions, but here it goes.

I've installed the latest Balance Mod and some shipsets and things are working fine.
What I'd like to know is, when I start a new game, what is the easiest/best way to add specific computer controlled races to play against.
It would be nice to see a list of installed races and hit a checkbox next to the ones you want to fight against and just go. The only way I can figure out so far though, is to go through several steps for each race, from the name to the flag, and shipset, and racial characteristics, even the description and history. It seems like I either have to do all that or just play against whatever random races the game wants to give me.

Hello everyone:
Recently in the game I've been playing, I was bombarding an enemy planet in tactical combat with some new ships equiped with short-range ripper beams and I got this odd symbol/icon that appeared above the planet. When I bombarded another planet with the same ships, the same symbol/icon apeared above the planet. Now I've bombarded planets with other ships with different types of weapons but this is the first time I've gotten the symbol/icon and this is also the first time I've used ships with ripper beams. What does that symbol/icon mean?

hey guys just got space empires V today and i'm realy liking the new 3D aspect to it, woz a bit takne back by the new ship designing scheme but since getting used to it i'm havin fun. my question is what is the different 'decks' all about. how does it affect the way anything works? i.e wepaons firing etc.
