I perfectly agree about the necessity of restrictions on CargoVessels, and would definitely prefer a restriction on the weapons than % of cargo holds... On the other hand, I would use it to make...

Re: Weapons Platforms Usage?

Seems like a good strategy, but what I don't like with armor is having to repair it...
Btw, what happens to damaged, surviving units after combat? I assume they are repaired, but I never checked......

Re: Ship roles (division of labor)

Re: Ship roles (division of labor)

I absolutely LOVE those ideas, Taqwus... To ensure it will work more than once, you can just create a new ship class by copying a previous bait, wich costs 0 and allows you to confuse even more......

How can we get High Energy Weapons?

I have'nt played a game long enough to get to those, so I was wondering how to get them.
Also, is there any point in researching crystalurgy past the first level? Since the expected results shows...

Re: Shields?

This battleStation seems a bit extreme, but it is fairly impregnable... (did you see the upkeep costs??)

On the other hand, I once had one of my advanced colonies toasted even if it had an...

Re: Shields?

Re: Ideas for More goodies

back in se3, there were those nice boarding units who could do the job, as I understood, you had to have as much as the intact components in the target ship (less if higher level).

Re: What about andvanced tech on an empty planet?

That might explain how to get the techs, but I am using the 0,51 Version anyway...
Also, I don't have that much tech already, mainly Physics, Ship construction, a few basics as such...

Thanks...
