Re: Carrier questions

Baron,

Actually fighter Groups can be "Fleeted" just like ships, which permits the rotation of resuppliers into the "fleet" to maintain supply.

I have made extensive use of Starfuries with the...

Re: How do you \'fleet\' ??

If you have a vessel selected, one of the buttons in the 2nd row of the horizontal button bar will light up. It looks like two triangular-hulled ships with a plus sign. Click on this and it will...

Re: Newbie questions.

Nope, I'm positive about the message. Either it is referring to adding additional components in an upgrade or sizes of swapped components not matching. I'll try it again later and let ya'll know. ...

Re: Newbie questions.

Ebony,

1.) You select the ship. A button with a green triangular shape will be available on the main control bar. Click on it and it will display the ship in the left side of the screen and...

Re: SE IV = Starfire (even > Starfire!)

FYI, Starfire is in its Fourth edition, which includes streamlined/rationalized tac and strat rules, and there is also a new product available that simplifies the empire-building portion even...

Re: Anybody using Ground Combat/Units??

Noble713,

Ahh, the memories. I have to agree that Star General was the best computerized representation I've experienced with both Space/Ground components. I was never a fan of the PzGen series,...

Re: News from Malfador

Er, well now it's slipped to 1 OCT for Gold and 23 OCT for release...

To be honest, I've always felt much better about a game that's delayed a bit for additional work. Especially in this mode of...

Re: Anybody using Ground Combat/Units??

Wingte,

IGII Ground Combat looked good, but several reviews dinged the AI's ability to use ground units. As I'm a solo player that killed it for me.

To tell the truth, I am really going to...

Anybody using Ground Combat/Units??

I just started messing around with "Troops" and am not very impressed with creating them let alone using them. I had to stop short, so some of these answers may become clear when I try again...

Re: Anybody using Ground Combat/Units??

Thanks.

That was the impression I was getting - another 4x game with no/poor ground combat. It's kind of like the Tactical game I suppose - MM has to pay lip service and throw something out to...

Re: Is is me or is something wrong?

I thought I read somewhere that the remote-mining/farming of asteroids is subject to this type of steadily reducing returns?

If so, then it seems it would be easy to apply the same to planets.

Re: Fleet Management

Wingte,

Er, I downloaded v0.56 Demo Version Last week and that's the one I've been playing.

I never had a chance to try out v0.51.

Re: Retreating??

Jeb,

Perhaps a scrolling combat zone would be a better solution. If a foe has long range missile capability combined with higher tacspeed and you do not, then you will not be able to engage him...

Fleet Management

After playing the demo through several times I do have a couple of fleet management recommendations.

Would it be possible to access individual vessels via the "Fleet Roster"? I have found no way...

Re: Retreating??

It does seem strangely odd to have the old "table edge of doom" showing up in a computer game? I really laughed at all the little dots chasing a hostile dot into the corner, from whence it had no...
