Re: It\'s here! (The new patch)

The setting changes do cause old mods not to run. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: P&N testers wanted

P&N won't run with the new patch. I get two errors with the settings.txt when I try to start. One with message display and another with ship movement delay.
Any idea when an update will be made?

Re: P&N testers wanted

Any chance of getting it up on PBW.
The 1st P&N game is ready to start be we are debating to wait for 2.4.
So far 2.4 seems to be less buggy that 2.3c in solo games.

Re: Are battles always one sided?

Tweaking Ship/Fleet Strategy is very important.
In my 1st PBW game I lost several battles that looked even without inflicting significant losses to the enemy fleet. Upon viewing the battles I...

Re: A better system for combat

Simplest solution. Defender always goes first. Often a smaller empires only defense is to guard a warp point so as to get that first volley off. It forces the attacker to attack with a larger force....

Re: Any more bug reports?

I agree with Atrocities. Even when you toggle "Avoid System" it only partially works. Colony ships and Transports avoid the system while warships merrily destroy themselves. I often bulid a few...

Re: OT: Enterprise...What did you think?

I liked the new show a lot and thought it was pretty good for a pilot episode.

The best thing I have heard to explain the inconsistencies between what was cannon before and now. Was that a slight...

Re: Regarding Will Christopher, aka Atrocities

I am glad to hear Will is doing better. First bit of good news this week.
I have alway enjoyed his presence.
I hope for his speedy recovery.

Re: Poll: Ship design strategy

I would say there is another type you missed and that is the balanced ship.
Good offensive/defensive abilities with decent speed.
This is the type I useally go for. Especially in solo games....

I would have to look but off the top of my head you are missing at least four sets. Two of Lord of Lion Park's the Flash Gordon and Ming sets. (Whatever happened to LoLP?)

Re: Proposed Ships Limit Change (idea)

In theory this is what the ship maintenance does. Most games resources are not much of a problem. Most players lower their maintenace costs.
This can even be done without a mod just have all players...

Re: Best Planetary Defense: Discuss.

Re: PPB is the best weapon in the game. Discuss.

I also like WMG's. IMHO they are the best basic tech LR direct fire weapon. That +30 bonus goes a long way in scoring more hits at range. They are best used in combos with other weapons/ships.

Re: PPB is the best weapon in the game. Discuss.

Sure Dragonlord. Actually in that game PPBs never made any differance except in battles vs NPC,s. Phased Shield V's showed up very quick. The race I didn't give more details on was using Organic Tech...
