I've encountered occationally some sort of bug in autosave.

The turn processing finishes, and then a popup window comes up with message saying (roughly) "can't save spaceempires\savegame\autosave04.gam" for example.

Most of the time this leads to end of turn process lockup, but sometimes it passes, but then you can't save your game after it I believe. Has anyone else seen this sort of behaviour?

I'm trying ot figure out more, because as of now there is little point in reporting this. I'm not even sure if it has something ot do with my computer instead of SE V. So any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, as well as any further questions.

Im waiting for the final book in the Wheel of time series, Its sad he died before he could publish the book, but he left notes about how he wanted it to end so I think it will be a great read.

I was wondering if there are any other books that are like it, based on genre or if you like wheel of time and have another favorite book or series let me know

I'm trying to move a group of ships in a fleet, but I can't figure out how to activate their +1 movement point "One use" item + they are cloaked and I want to use my resupply pod.

If I drop them from the fleet I can, but I want them to move at the slower ships speed, thus staying in the fleet.

Can I use a one use item in a fleet? or am I missing where to do it?

Hi everybody!

After a longer break due to university affairs I got back to playing again. I picked some of the cool SW shipsets and played a bit with the simulator but I am a bit upset because the combat effects (bolts and explosions) don't match my taste.
Could it be that the shipsets most recently released are smaller than stock? Because sometimes I barely see my frigate any more when it is hit by a projectile due to the huge explosions on impact. Same holds true for bolts, shells and missiles in general - these are a bit to large compared to the ships.

Question is: how to resize these effects. For most of the weapons I would like to have the size currently used for fighter weapons. The projectiles for fighter weapons are to be resized accordingly.

Ok we have a FTP based game server we have set up to play our game. (Spread over the country since collage but still play SE). The entire system is automated and work well. (Even has a GUI front end now) The only issue we are hitting now is with the large number of players and ships (8 computer 4 human) turn processing is taking forever.... (right now sitting at a hour and climbing)

This is a dedicated server for processing turns. I seem to remember that there was a file you could change to speed up the rate the PC computes the turns. Does anyone remember where that is at?

Thanks,

anyone tell me if i can turn this around and use a - instead of a + with this editor thing

instead of this 20 + (([%Level%] - 1) * 10)
can i do this to make things get smaller with tech ups 20 - (([%Level%] - 1) * 10)
and if i can can i use this formula?
20 - ([%Level%] * .1) or variations of this

or instead of asking should i just try

Where are the saved empire files hidden and how do I get access to them?

I'm setting up my empire and want to load it into a multi-player game. The empire has been saved, I can exit SE5 and return and can load th empire. But when I go to load the empire file ... I cant find the darn file using Vista.

I can navigate down to the SE5/savedempires directory ... but the file is not there! (no saved games are showing in SE5/savedgames).

I've searched the file system for the file name ... but it does not display.

I've changed the default file behavir to display hidden files and redid my search ... no go
