Long Range engage distance no longer maximum?

BlueTemplar — Thu, 15 May 2008 16:21:10 -0400

Before, ships using this setting stayed at their longest range. Now it looks like that they stay at their enemy's longest range. The problem is that ships tend to "wobble" and often enter the fire range of the other ship. Is there a way to have the old max range back? Or maybe is it good riddance of the infamous archer tactic?

Balance Mod Neutral Races

Saga286 — Thu, 15 May 2008 12:26:27 -0400

This question is more for CaptainKwok. I was looking through the Neutral races in the Balance Mods Empires folder and I see that the neutral races folders have nothing in them except pictures. I was wondering if you disabled the use of neutral races in your mod for a reason or would it be ok to copy the neutral race data from the games original neutral folders to the Balance Mods one.

Defence vs. Attack and other Combat related questions...

To conclude a multiplayer game my friend and I gathered both our fleet and decided to slug it out to determine a winner. Because we both were surprised as to how the battle went we are trying to find out WHY it happened.

So, because my fleet was defending (I had a base around my HW which we wanted to include in the battle) instead of attacking... Did that give me an advantage over my opponent ??

Can ships run away during combat ?? In a third try-out several of my opponents ships moved from the battlefield but were still intact (no damage, supplies and ordnance enough). Can this be because they were part of a 30-something large task force and those 8 were the only survivors ?? Can their morale have failed ??

No bugs in 1.71 at all?

Could someone update this page please?

I'd like to know what I'm up to before starting a new game...

After you colonize a planet you are asked what kind of colony you want. It gives you a list like mineing refining, military instillation and so on. Is there any difference on which one I choose?

Construction Queues

Saga286 — Tue, 06 May 2008 02:18:27 -0400

Hi, I don't know if this has been asked already and if it has, I am sorry. I was looking at the Construction Queues and noticed the Queue settings at the bottom right. I saw the option Emergency build. It says construction will move 2 times the normal speed and that when turned off, it will slow down to 50% normal speed. I don't know if the game is wrong or that I really need to go to bed (2am right now), but when I clicked on this option, the construction queue only went up to 150% and after a few turns, I turned it off, and it slowed down all the way to 25%. I thought "2 times" the normal rate would be 200% and slowed down to 50% would be, well, 50%.

Infinite Resources

Saga286 — Sun, 04 May 2008 12:44:03 -0400

Hi, I just started playing this game and saw how great it is. One of things I do have a problem with though is the way infinite resources work. Right now, when the game is set on infinite resources, each planet has infinite resources on it but you only get a percentage depending on how many resource facilities you have on the planet.

The thing is, you get a crap load of resources from placing just one resource facility on the planet. Because of that I never run out of resources. I always need to get facilities that allow me to stockpile more resources. I think the amount of resources the facilities give you should be lessened greatly.

Damn Mothballs

Does anyone have any trouble unmothballing ships and bases? They seem to just randomly do it. Sorry if this is a repeat question.

Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design...

I'm sure this has been asked by newbies a million times....but how do I load the pre-made races???

Fleet Resupply Issues

Myrath — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 03:39:38 -0400

Hi;

is there anyway to 'redistribute supplies troughout the fleet'?

I had a second (fully supplied fleet) join up with a out of supply fleet. And I want to spread the feul evenly, so I can reach a supply deport planet nearby.

Is there an automatic way for this?
Is there a alternative manual way for this?

It's PBW, so every turn counts...

Especially because I'm facing warmongering nations South, West and North! Every ship counts
