picking up cargo/fighters?

Does it take a turn of movement to pick up things like fighters?

Re: ship gather point?

Odd! I am playing SE5 v1.74 with Balance Mod v1.14b and my colonizers all come up empty. Does that mean I can just send empty colonizers out and they will colonize with 1M of my colonists?

Re: Thank you!

Kwok is great! And several others have been terrific, too. I won't name them out of concern that I might forget to mention one of them, but you know who you are. Thanks, guys!

Re: \"targeting priority order\" vs \"target type\"?

As enigmatic as any Vorlon response I've heard. Actually, my family and I never watched B5, but when my son and I started playing SEV, I netflixed the whole series. We're really enjoying it. And,...

Re: offensive vs. defensive strategy?

Well, I'll just have to stop theorizing and do some empirical work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Thank you!

By the way, I want to thank the people who have been replying to my numerous queries. This has got to be one of the best player communities on the 'net.

\"targeting priority order\" vs \"target type\"?

I'm having trouble getting my ships to assault planets. No matter what I do, they get drawn away by armed ships that flee to the other side of the map.

I see that there is a "targeting priority...

Re: offensive vs. defensive strategy?

That makes sense. I suppose if two fleets target e.o., they both use attack formation?

offensive vs. defensive strategy?

In fleet formations, I can select offensive and defensive strategies. What's the difference?

Also, I can categorize ships as offensive or defensive under "type". Does that make a difference --...

Re: ship gather point?

Hmm...not sure I follow that. I looked in the empire settings and did not see that as an option. Is this a way to auto load colonizers when they're built?

Re: ship gather point?

Thanks. Yes, one thing I discovered is that the way points mean colony ships leave without colonists. Is there a way to name each waypoint ("assault point", "military academy", etc.)?

ship gather point?

If you click on the wrench symbol (queue list) and select a planet, you can pull up "queue settings". If you scroll down, there is a "queue move to" button, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is...

Re: advice on assault planet (cross post to SEV.co

Great idea! Thanks. One question: how do you ensure which fleet will arrive first -- just divert the troop fleet so they arrive later in the turn?

advice on assault planet (cross post to SEV.com)

I'd like my armed ships to attack a planet, but only knock out its defenses, without damaging the planet. After this, I'd like them to move off and engage any armed enemy ships, and I'd like my troop...

Re: attacking planet bug?

Re: Intel query

Thanks. But, I'm not a bit confused. The probability of any event occurring depends on its cost. So, do you pick one at random (which we don't know) and then calculate the % chance of success each...
