After all, the crew can control the ship if the virus takes out the computer and the computer can control of the...

Down side to ship computers

Is there a down side to having a ship controled by computers. You can get away with spending only 20k in mass when even the smallest crewed ship requires 30k.

Ship Engines/Size

The mass of an engine is 10k for all ship sizes. I think that this should be adjusted.
Make larger ships require more engines for the same speed or make engines have more mass when installed on...

Re: SEIV and VGA Planets

I have played VGA v.3
The game systems are very different for battles. In vga you do one ship at a time until one side runs out of ships to fight with. Planets get mined out so fuel and minerals get...

Ships cost 25%/turn
Bases cost 12.5%/turn

Do frieghters cost the same as war ships per turn?

Re: Supply bug?

Is there any way to see how much supply a ship has during combat? It would help to know so that I could operate my ships in a matter that would leave me enough supply to get back to a supply depot.

Re: Maintenance Formula

What I would like is have the prototype cost 3 times as much for first ship built. Make shipyards MUCH more expensive and have ships take a minimum of a year to build. Allow 6 month build time with...

Re: Component order

Choosing the order of components is what made starfire so great. You could spend a great deal of time designing ships. Your opponent could not see your designs so he would have to just learn what...

Re: Component order

I wish the damage was done in order from left to right. That would open up a lot of design options for players. Like using engines to suck damage while weapons are hit Last or saving engines for the...

Re: Supply bug?

Yes the ship had 6 engines. Since the ship had zero supply, I could not move the ship off the planet in order to move back over supply depot. The ship was a standard destroyer warship at tech 3 or 4...

Component order

Does the order of components placed on ships matter for what takes damage? Like in the game starfire where damage from most weapons goes from left to right. Do some components take more damage than...

Planet killing weapons, whats the point?

Why spend RP's on planet killing weapons when the every day ship combat weapons will wipe a planet clean of an enemy population?

Mine building

I am playing the Demo game.
I built a ship with mine layers. But I do not see how I can load it with mines. If I go to the planet construction for units no options for mines are allowed. How do I...
