Tactical Multiplayer

[Fyron]

You can play with TCP/IP mode, but all combat is executed in strategic mode. It is how SE4 works.

I know, bummer =/ Such a great and indepth combat system and no real way to exploit its depth in multiplayer. well at least SEV is on the way =)

Have you tried the Ultimate Strategies Mod? It adds a lot of new strategies you can assign to your fleets so they at least do interesting things in combat It's available at http://www.spaceempires.net.

ehh i guess ill give it a try... i was hoping for some way to actually get into the tactical side of things... Thats my favorite part of the game and the one part I cant seem to bring to multiplayer

excuse me... the strategy mod isnt working...would anyone be so kind as to email it to me?...

getting your ships to do what you want in strategical combat is a challenge, but it's a double edged sword, what is your disadvantage is also your advantage, if you know what you're doing.

It takes a lot of experimenting (preferrably not in the combat simulator, but anything is better than nothing) to make it work.
