Re: What is the problem with SE5?

Simple answer: "death by a thousand cuts". That's the one reason. If you want a comprehensive list there are a bunch of threads that cover those.


A valid observation, but look at it another way...

Re: What resolution and settings are you running S

I only got mouse-lag (though it was extreme) when viewing the component list of a constructed ship/unit. That's on a poxy geforce 440MX

Re: Any way to retain AUTOSAVE settings?

Its not just autoplay, its any of the game-wide options.
If I don't want the end-turn confirmation dialog this game, why does the game think I'll want it turned on next game?

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

This is what I was doing, but it "seemed" (note: subjective) that when I did this, the units moved slower and there was a little more lag than usual. Maybe excessive pathfinding. :?

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

Heh.
Another way: If you're playing with "three homeworlds" set in your game, minor races only start with one homeworld. I imagine this is also true for 5 and 10 homeworlds.

Re: Did anyone see this from Stardock?

I imagine that sucks for the people who brought SOTS solely for the single-player.

Re: 1.08 bugs.

Really? Because they didn't do it when I tried and had no number (i.e. 1/1) showing their movemement points.

And if they only get one movement point that it's STILL mis-reported the movement...

Re: 1.08 bugs.

I think we're communicating at odds here.
I've seen fighters can do the following:
- Fly around in space combat (speed double stated).
- Ground combat.

I've never managed to get them fly to...

Re: Did anyone see this from Stardock?

Anyone else notice the way the stardock representative slipped a mention of galciv2 in to the PR?


Maybe. But SOTS really isn't that good of a game (IMHO).
Outside of the pretty combat there is...

Re: Waging war in SE5

Yes, but playing a game for 30 turns and then having to restart and do it all over again does get boring.
Mind so does glassing an enemy that's still playing with toy frigates.

Re: Planet Menu - Systems to Avoid

I used the planets menu too but never bothered with "out of limits".
The best solution I can think of is to see if there is a column that lets you see if a system is out of limits (try creating a...

Re: Organic & Crystal vehicle differences?

Personally I suspect that the organic ships would have had some sort of self-healing ability.
That's what organic ships traditionally get anyway.

The first time I saw that functionality (clicking the column header to shrink pics) I thought it was a bug and added it to my bug list. I eventually figured out it was intended behaviour.

A dirty hack to improve the AI\'s research

So I'm playing a game against the AI, it's turn 150 and the AI is STILL playing with low 5 digit research points (I'm on 2.5mil and rising rapidly).
So what do I do about it?

Well, it's simple. I...
