A few questions |
Hi,
I've recently discovered Space Empires V for the first time and have played one or two games and read loads of posts on here to get the hang of things but have a few questions I havent been able to figure out. I'm playing the game patched to 1.44 and with BM 1.09 added.
1. Is there any point in having multiple satellite launchers or fighter bays on a ship? From what I have been able to ascertain it has no effect on the number or speed of units you launch whether you have just the 1 bay or several.
2. I've changed/deleted/added several names in the systemnames folder (almost all in fact) but every time I start a new game it still uses the old names. I'm presumably missing something here but not sure what?
3. Similar query to the above, only in this instance I've amended the values for some of the facilities (I dont want to get too bogged down with resources to begin with so have changed mineral, organic and radiactive facilities to produce 4000 each per turn) but again the game ignores this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1. It has an effect on the launch speed in combat. So for instance for a warp point assault carrier, you'll want to place as much fighter bays as you can (keeping a balance with armor/shields of course), but no cargo bays.

Rebooting the computer would never have an effect.
Are you certain that you just aren't unlucky? The system names file in BM already has quite a few names to begin with, and the chance of seeing new names added to it aren't guaranteed (esp. on a smaller map size).




Re: A few questions
Are you changing the files in the right folder, If you are using the BM are you changing the facility file in the BM folder or your Data folder?
