Hi there..

I discovered SEV and played this amazing game since the last week, learning how to play.
When i realize the major mehcanics of the game, i decided to do a pair of campaigns, and enjoy the game.

In both campaigns, i have experienced no difficoulties, and none events that wipe my empire.
'Cuse the most important thing in the game, is the research, the fist thing i will do, is to research liv 5 of applied research, and constructing enough research center to have 20.000 points of research ASAP.

Then i have no enemyes that can challenge me O_ò
Im my campaign, im at 2416.5 turn, and i have something like 50.000 research points, so i can have all that i want. I have only 2 CV [ carriers] and each one is escort by 2 CLAA [ cruiser with PD weapons ] carring something like 30-35 fighters [ and the cargo carry points, isnt full ]. Then i have only 2 fleet with 1 Cruise, 2 CL, 2 DD.

I've encountered a bug concerning Fighter recovery. When I try to recovery Fighter in combat, the game would crash...

Hey guys, could someone that has used this weapon before enlighten me as to what, exactly, it does? I've heard it said it "destroys shields" but just looking at the damage it does it seems you would have to have very few shields for it to destroy them. The damage, even with mounts, is not too great and if thats all it does (damage shields by that amount) then any other normal weapon would be better since its likely to be higher damage and wouldn't just be against shields.

Anyone know for sure?

Edit- doh! Sorry, wrong subforum!

There's a GameCube and a Wii in my house (somewhat redundant now, as you can play GC games on a Wii). Does anyone know if there are any decent 4x games available for either of them?

Been thinking/wanting to try playing the game via pbw. Been to the web site and looking around. Was lookin for a guide to get a new player going. I looked at some of the listed open games and saw the game set up, see listed resource values with different values but dont know where to place them on setting up a new game for a pbw game. Any help appreciated.
Ive mostly played using quick start games single player....

thanks, Awolf

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this mod is still on track for Feb 1 public release. That is, unless the beta testers find anything drasticly wrong.

There still won't be any AI scripts but it's on my list. There are also a fairly large list of things I still want to add, but I want to get this into your hands sooner rather than later.

Here's the fix list so far for 5.03:
-v5.03
Added- Unit Construction, Colonization Tech, Defenses Tech and Resource Generation Technology Groups.
Changed- Re-catagorized appropriate techs to new Technology Groups.
Added- 24 unique versions of racial items Ruins. (now 11.1% chance of a ruin from 4.5% in Stock)

HELION DATALINKS NETWORK - DESCRIPTION: The Helions Federation

Biological Description
The Citizens of the Helion Federation are descendants of the old Terran Empire. Luckyly, they settled down on Planets with fresh-water, clean air and paradise-like conditions in an isolated sector of the galaxy. On their paradise-like colonies, they had enough time and space to improve eagerly their physical, psychological, rational and social abilities.

Society Description
The Helion Society is one of the most open and tolerant societies in the galaxy. This led to the fact, that some races envy them for their social stability and standards. Helion Diplomats are often welcomed in critical disputes. They are renowned for their fair diplomatic flair. The Helion Federation is governed by the helion senate and the federal council.

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying out creating new Racial Traits, including different bonus levels for the same ability. (+10, +20, +30, -10, -20, -30 for mining, for example). From my experience, if you select multiple racial traits with the same ability it will only register the highest one. (So a 30 and a 10, equals only 30; or a 30 and a -10 is still a 30). Can anyone else confirm this?
