Re: OT: Elder Scrolls: IV

Well thats true, its all been done before. I just wonder who built the gates of hell, because they need to be fired. I wouldn't use them to build a deck on the back of a house......

Re: OT: Elder Scrolls: IV

A cheaper idea might be an Xbox for $150 (maybe MUCH less when the 360 comes out) and a copy of Morrowind game of the year edition for $30. Thats about 2000+ hours of gaming goodness for under...

Re: Fighters are broken. Can we fix them?

This is where I am coming from. Other players may not "like" the idea of fighters EVER playing a big role, I do.

Would it be breaking the NDA to get someone on the Beta test for SEV to comment on...

Re: Fighters are broken. Can we fix them?

It is an interesting point you make, about what real space fighters may or may not be able to do in the real future.

In SEIV I am playing in a fake universe. Sometimes I want to play Space...

Small fighter - 100 minerals - 15 tons
Escort - 150 minerals - 100 tons

Re: Fighters are broken. Can we fix them?

Yes, multiplex on fighters would fix the stack issue. Too bad about the damage flow, but yea, that would help.

Re: Fighters are broken. Can we fix them?

I really have to agree with Fyron. While I do appreciate the discussion about how to use fighters better, in the mid to late game they are useless. After all the work building, collecting and...

Ok, but when I'm putting fighters together over a planet, they mostly group together in a large force. How can I stop this? If I have a group of battleships, I...

Such as?

Getting 1000 Fighters together in one place is a logistical nightmare. It is far less work (and research) to put together a handful of capital ships with Point Defence V. Am I missing...

Fighters are broken. Can we fix them?

Having played this game for 5 years now, I am convinced that Fighters are broken and just about useless. Specifically, I only play TDM Mod pack, single player but I believe this applies to just...
