Re: Space Empires V post-mortem

The thing the bugs me the most about SE5 is the system view. In SE4 I could clearly see where all of my ships were at a glance. Now I have to rotate and zoom/unzoom to find them all.

SE5 with...

Re: OT: Any Suggestions? Display Problems

It looks like it's branded as Asylum, so they'll probably be happy if you call it an "Asylum 5700 Ultra 128MB" card (stupid, I know).

Re: OT: Indiana Jones Trailer!

Wait, what? That doesn't happen. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Are you thinking of the game Command & Conquer: Red Alert?

Re: OT: I need a new motherboard.

I agree with Suicide Junkie. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague), the symptoms of bad capacitors have nothing to do with a noisy fan.

Re: OT: A computer annoyance - help wanted!

Open the task manager before dialing in with the modem. Watch to see what is using 100% cpu.

Re: OT - 1080i and nVidia

Perhaps it's a matter of refresh rate?

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

Well, the first source starts spouting nonsense by the second sentence. The surface of the Sun is made of neon?

The second beats on astronomers using a classic "straw man" argument, but doesn't...

Looks like a variation on MOND (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics).

Re: Planet Rotation Speeds

Of course. What I meant is, we don't know things like the relative velocities or the angle of impact. Thus, we don't know what Earth's original rotation rate was.

Re: Planet Rotation Speeds

I think you would have to make a number of assumptions about the event that formed the Moon to know what Earth's original rotation rate was. Although, I agree that it must have slowed since then.

Re: Planet Rotation Speeds

Typically larger planets rotate faster (at least in the Solar System).

Re: A few observations

I agree with Saber Cherry regarding ship size. What's the point in making the first level(s) of a technology useless? Why not just make it cost more to research in the first place?

More atmosphere types will decrease the percentage of breathable worlds.

Re: Expanding Atmosphere Types

H2O (water vapor or ocean planets)

Also, you could go to mixes of gases:
H/He (Jupiter and Saturn), H/He/CH4 (Uranus and Neptune), N2/O2 (Earth), N2/CH4 (Titan), etc.

Re: DevnullMod for SEV

You could just provide two versions: one that requires the MMP, and one that includes all needed images.

Re: Man, it\'s just not there.

For me, the major drawback to SEV is the turn processing times. In SEIV, most turns processed in seconds - leading to the "just one more turn..." feeling. SEV takes much longer. By the time a turn...
