Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations

I don't know if you could legally sell shares to only a 'selected' group of people. An IPO might have opened him to takeover by unknown stock manipulators. But if it was possible to control who was...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

Which is to re-phrase what already said, that the current ship design system doesn't take scale into account. A larger ship ought to be proportionally more expensive to build and maintain because you...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

The problem with all of these ideas is that they simply carry forward the long-standing conflation of ship size with ship role that has been in SE from the beginning.

Honestly, the actual...

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

Yeah, that's the key. The SE IV ship design system doesn't take scale into account so 'bigger' turns out to be better in every way when it shouldn't be.

Re: SE5 Poll on Slot Layout, take 2

Could it be that the features list in Malfador's site says so? Or could it be the screenshots?

Re: SE5 Poll on Slot Layout, take 2

Slots are ok if 'inconvenient' when dealing with many components. The real problem is the difference between ship sets. In the 'form fitting' slot scheme, races that have been given 'slender' ship...
