Re: New game on PBW - "20 Players, 24 Hours"

Password worked, and the empire is alive, although things are VERY CRAMPED!! (20 empires, only 26 TOTAL SYSTEMS!!--and those extra 6 are probably nebulas or asteriods.) I don't think this'll be a...

Re: New game on PBW - "20 Players, 24 Hours"

I missed the first go-around to join up, but just saw an open slot in this game. I wanted to make sure I'm not joining up as an empire (Star Wolves) that has already been destroyed.

Please let me...

I think the other thread you're referring to is here:

Re: Tug of War - Progress Thread

Seems like a pretty cool idea. I might have to jump on this, since I just finished my Last game.

How do you make the "flag" indestructable?
Would it survive even if someone captures it and can't...

Re: Things in SEIV I never knew about....

Rather than make a new one, I thought I'd revive this old thread.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars

That's pretty cool. I'll have to give that sphere a try.

(testing, testing, 1,2,3).

That knot looks pretty cool, too. It is still pretty recognizable as Escher.

Oooo. Very nice stuff, David. I just picked it out of the gallery today, but I wondered what my new "inside the brain" avatar would look like "shined up".

Yes, either use another colony ship or build a dedicated population transport ship with cargo containers.

Re: Newbie question--please answer

1. Couple of possibilities: If you have a treaty with a race, your ships/planets can pass or coexist without starting battle.

Also, if your ship doesn't have weapons, it will just run for the...

Re: Questions about changes in 1.84 - Crew ConVersion

So just to clarify, you CAN steal a Master-Computer equipped ship by using a "Crew Insurrection" under the most recent patch?

Or has that never been possible?

Questions about changes in 1.84 - Crew ConVersion

Need to be sure I understand a couple of things clearly:

Version 1.83:
1. Fixed - You could stop a "Slow Build" by clearing the queue.

No questions on this one, but OMG!! Amazing this stayed...

Re: PBW Server is down - and back up again

Great job on getting it back up and running again... one odd thing, though. It seems to be 12 hours off--AM/PM are reversed.

Can you change it without throwing off the 24-hour cycle of current...

Homeworld choosing bug in 1.78

Although this is only demonstratable currently using a MOD on the basic Gold package, I believe this is a bug of the SEIV programs files, not of the MOD.

Here's the bug: Under certain conditions,...
