Re: SE5 bad reviews and problems.

My words were a response to Mr. Frightlever calling AT a "Complete dick". Calling AT a "complete dick" is not complaining about the game.

There are some posted complaints about the game. Most...

Re: Put some reviews on Amazon plz

You accuse others of having an agenda, then you admit to one. You want to punish someone because you're not happy. How is that more noble than someone who wants the game to do well, knowing that...

Re: Has anything really changed?

Well, out of 4 modded games I played where I only changed the max systems, 3 of them hung around turn 50 with End of Turn Processing.

The more I think about it though, and this is just a wild...

Re: Has anything really changed?

I modded in a game of 250 systems. I had to keep maximizing the system view to see the different systems since everything was so compact the systems kind of squished together.

But with that many...

Re: SE5 bad reviews and problems.

I've never seen someone told that they should not give their opinion. I have seen people offer:

1. help with customizing the UI
2. Custom MODs available BEFORE the game was even official
3....

Re: OT: Snowed Under!

Wow, sorry about that.

Just remember not to leave the power generator IN the house where the exhaust fumes can kill you... I'm always surprised how many people die from that each year.

Re: Flight time and Expected damage per minute

@phoenix - Torps can't turn? So, if they miss the target they don't loop back? Come to think of it, I don't remember a missle "missing" its target either. How does this work out in practice?

Re: Understanding the weapons and balance

Any ideas on what

"Weapon Seeker Turn Rate"

is all about? Most missles have that line, but the torpedos do not.

I also would like to request Mr. Kwoks spreadsheet. Might save me a bit of...

Re: SEV Beta History starting V1.0

Wow, those 2 seem to clear up just about everyone of the real bugs.

Except for the "End of turn processing bug". Is that one just listed somewhere else as its root cause?

Re: Understanding the weapons and balance

Good point. On the surface, it may appear that the Capital Ship Missle is the end all and be all of missle weapons. But I noticed there is a torpedo (Quantum, iirc) that does the same damage and...

Re: Can\'t really play the game w/ fleet bug...

you can, as Phoenix said, just move the ships together. Select them all, tell them to move. I've been doing this for weeks.

Or, you could design ships that don't use ordinance. There are many...

Whoa. So, why use anything but the Meson Blaster?

Even the Wave Motion gun. The WAVE MOTION GUN can't hold a candle to the Meson Blaster!??!

Weapon Space To Hit Modifier Formula := 0 - [%Range%]

Ahhh. But what does it mean? - %Range% ? So, 10 % per LS?

Understanding the weapons and balance

Could someone verify how the code works for weapons?

Meson Blaster:

(15 + (([%Level%] - 1) * 5)) - (([%Range%] / 10) * 0.00) - iif([%Range%] > Min(90, (([%Level%] - 1) * 10) + 30), 10000, 0)

Re: Any way to tell a major empire from a minor?

In your list of known empires in the game, all minor races have the same ship set and are sorted to the bottom of the list of known races.

Re: SEV Beta History starting V1.0

As usual, Kwok rocks!

Do any of these fix the End Of Turn Processing bug?

I assume we will not be seeing 1.09, it will just be a footnote on the patch we DO get in a couple of weeks?

Re: Boarding parties vs Security Teams

Note: the manual states that Master Computers are not a protection against Boarding Parties. This is, apparently, by design.

Re: Surrender in SEV

Thats the way SEIV worked too. If they surrender, you get their tech. If you conquer them completely, you get nada.
