Re: Massive Planetary Shield Generators

The Massive Shield Depleter has a reload of 30 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif which means it fires only once at most per combat. I think that makes it suck.

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

If you increase the maximum number of systems beyond the default (100) in "settings.txt", you will need more names in the system names file. If you don't do this, you can end up with systems that...

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

Sounds like you are using a QNP mod. I was speaking of unmodded propulsion. But yes, it requires at least 1 movement point to colonize, not necessarily 1 engine. Just to be precise.
