Re: Math problem

Try X raised to the Yth power and subtract one. Just a theory. I am not sure if that works for 4 or 5 man games yet. X is Number of players per game minus 1. Incidentally, that does not work for 2...

Re: Math problem

PRIMES = '2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97,101,103,109,113,127,131,137'...

Re: Math problem

Only solutions are 3, 7, 15, 31,...

Re: Math problem

Here is another solution. The patern appears to be 2^x-1. I would suspect that the next solution is at 63, but 31 took long enough to prove and my algorythm uses prime numbers with the mod function...

Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod

You have to make Small DUC III less powerful and also tie it to Small Weapons tech. Unless I have racial tech, I always use Small Duc III. Maybe late in the game I would consider the Small Ripper but...

Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod

Make Ship defense penalties graduated: Cruisers 0%, Battle Cruisers 10%, Battleships 20%, Dreadnaughts 30%, Baseships 40%.

Re: SE4 Stock Balance Mod

Make the Quantum Reactor act like a juiced up supply container. Something like Supply III times 10 or 20. After that, it needs to go to a resupply base to re-engergize it.

Re: Tractor Beam III useless

Massive mount Repulser beams are real nice an a Baseship with Null Space weapons. Maul the ship and then fling the shell 20 squares away for later cleanup.

Re: A thought on the Talisman / Live on Pay-Per-View: Geo vs. Fyron
