Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
SJ, your quote reminds me of something right out of the MOO2 manual that had me confused for years before I figured it out:
"Ships can bomb planets directly, but other ships only indirectly, via bombers."
OK, I was wondering, what KIND of ships can bomb planets directly, given that some other (unspecified and nonexistent as far as I could tell from playing the game) kind of ships can bomb planets only indirectly via bombers... then after SO long I finally figured out that "other ships" was part of the OBJECT of the sentence, not the SUBJECT...

So; Ships can bomb planets...
Fighters can bomb ships...
But ships can't bomb other ships?

They can shoot torpedoes, missiles, and beams at them. Bombs would be redundant. |

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
Nope. Torpedoes are self-propelled, missiles are self-propelled and self-guided and beams are focused energy. Bombs are in free-fall. Clearly not redundant, they just don't make sense for ships.

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
Launch bombs using the catapults. They are pretty effective in vacuum thus make sense.

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
Could catapults fire the bomb fast enough?

Re: An important question to hardcore SEIV strateg
If the catapult is not fast enough, then the problem lies in your target, which goes too quickly. Therefore, slow down the target, and all shall be fine.
