I'm playing 1.71 w/ BM 1.14a and noticed something that I found odd, but wasn't sure if this was intended.

I have a satellite group of 10 satellites (5 beam sat's & 5 missle sats) with the following breakdown for supplies/ord.

Beam Sats: (500 Supplies, 0 ord)
Missle Sats: (1000 Supplies, 200 ord)

When testing configurations in the simulator, the sat group shows a total reserve of the following for supplies/ord:
Supplies: 7500
Ordinance: 1000

When combat on the simulator starts however each satellite gets 1/10th of those total supplies, thus each satellite has 750 Supplies and 100 Ordinance.

Okay so I’m just trying to make sure if this is right, any weapons that use beams or energy take their ammo from supplies and any other weapon that don’t use any energy, like missile, take their ammo from ordnance. Does this sound about right?

Hey Guys

Trying to start a 2 player game over TCP/IP.
Everytime the empires have been loaded and I process the 1st game turn, SEV hangs at Generate 1st turn.

I have a current TCP/IP game going and I can still play and process games.

Has anyone else encountered this, or am I over looking something.

Any help would be great.

Thanx

I tried my best finding a way to view my ships, like the layout on the design vehicle section where it shows armor/shield, attack/defense modifier. But I can’t find a layout that can show it when you right click on the actual build ship to view it stats. I’m not sure if it even has one but who knows, I just got this game last week.

And for the ability report, would it be cool if those can actually be seen on the ship report like in the design vehicle? For example, because I’m Berzerkers society type, I would see the attack +20% chance to hit would be added on the Attack modifier so if you finish a ship, Let’s say the ship is 80% chance to hit by itself and then with the Berzerkers trait it would make it 100% on the viewing screen.

Hi, I'm new to the game and have a question. I've posted here rather than in FAQ as I feel I'm more likely to get a helpful response to my first question here. So here goes:

Where can I find online games to join? I understand that I have to use Hamachi. Is there a programme or way of finding others looking for games? These forums seem rather quiet.

Also, if I do manage to find some people to play online with and I'm using a custom race portrait, will they be able to see it?
