Re: Waging war in SE5

I disagree on the effectiveness of PD in stock. I ran several tests in the simulator. Assuming all components at lvl 5 a ship with 4 PDCs and Combat Sensors never hits more than 1 of 3 incoming...

Re: WPs Damaged Last in V1.08??

I just checked Components.txt and the valid target types for Missiles are:

Weapon Target Type List := Ship, Base, Planet

Does this preclude Weapon Platforms from being...

WPs Damaged Last in V1.08??

Playing a game of V1.08 I am attacking an enemy Homeworld that has many facilities and one Weapon Platform. As I continually pound this planet with missiles the population declines and all the...

Re: SEV: My Missiles won\'t fire at an enemy planet

I have only seen similar behavior when there is no population left on the planet. Did you manually select the planet as the target in tactical combat? Also try using the sector view to re-arrange...

Re: New Improved Point - Defense Cannons!

One question, what level of combat sensors where on the PD ships and on the fighters?

Re: Surrender in SEV

Ground combat works for me as well. It's just that when you conquer all their worlds you do not get their technology like when they surrender. I actually am sending Aaron a request to allow...

Missiles can definitely shoot planets.

Re: 1.08 bugs.

Regarding number 14 this happened to me, but only when I messed with the data files after saving the empire. Also if you notice your starting tech levels will all go to zero, so you don't really...

Re: Surrender in SEV

Yeah, same situation with me. I have all of their bases, ships, fighters, etc. destroyed and all planets blockaded and they still won't give up.

Re: SEV 1.08, Balance Mod 0.91

CK, be a little carefull. Fighters are super powerfull in ground combat. Make sure the AI holds some back otherwise we will devise some tactics to strip out a planet's fighters right before landing...

Has anyone been able to get an enemy empire to surrender in SEV? I have not.

Re: Which game is best for a n00b? SEIV or SEV?

How easily they surrender depends on their racial traits. Some surrender more easily than others and some won't surrender at all. The prerequisite though is to destroy all of their armed ships,...

Re: Weird colony issue in SEIV Deluxe

I think that is correct. IIRC in SEIV a basic Colony ship with a colonizer and 1 Cargo component holds 34M colonists. The same configuration in SEV holds at least twice that much so it is possible...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Captain Kwok, with all due respect I think it is more logical to build the Resupply Depots first. Either way it is six turns until the colony is building "revenue" generating facilities, assuming...

Re: Waging war in SE5

Point defense is close to useless in the stock game unless present in overwhelming numbers. Right now the AI does not build enough point defense on WPs or Bases and I have not seen any on ships. I...

Re: Which game is best for a n00b? SEIV or SEV?

As said above I would buy from EB online and get both. Play SEIV first, it is fully patched with years of experience nad bug fixes. By the time you are ready to progress SEV should be in much...

Re: Change Rules for Blockades

Re: Disengage Button

Well if he is faster then he should be able to run away. Better put some defense on the planet.

I would like to see a change where running away puts you into the adjacent hex. Right now you can...
