A few random questions |
1. Do multiple Energy Refractors stack?
2. Why would anyone use Security Station? Boarding Parties give the exact same bonus and you can use them for attack and defense. Or am I missing something?
3. Long Range Scanner seems to be acting weird. I have an opponent who is down to 1 planet. I scanned it with a ship equipped with a Long Range Scanner and it shows no facilities. But on the "Comparison" screen that empire is showing 1200 Research points. This is happening to others too. I'm seeing 2 Intelligence centers on one planet of another empire, but the Comparison screen shows 0 points. Which one is in error?
4. Why would anyone spend precious research points on higher levels of colonization tech? AFAIK, the only thing it gives you is a little bit more cargo (and structure). Why is that worth it?
5. How can I position a Sphere world so it is CENTERED on a sun instead of being lopesided and off by 1 square?
Thanks guys!

Re: A few random questions
1: Does it say "only one component per ship effective"?
2: Security station is a smaller component. but equally effective at fending off capture.
3: Comparison is the state of empires during the previous turn, not actually their current state.
4: In theory, the higher the starting population, the sooner you'll get production bonuses for population units. But in practice, Migration negates the usefulness of the larger population storage.
5: Edit the systemtypes file so that the sun is slightly off center. Or change the Stellar Objects file so that you can fly a ship into the center of a star.
