Baseships are in stock in SEIV.

I'm playing stock. I have not encountered Baseships. I looked in my C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Space Empires IV Deluxe\Pictures and they are not there.

Thus, you are mistaken.

That's be because they don't have their own image. They use the Starbase image:

Code:



Name                          := Baseship

Short Name                    := Baseship

Description                   := 

Code                          := BA

Primary Bitmap Name           := Baseship

Alternate Bitmap Name         := Starbase

Vehicle Type                  := Ship

Tonnage                       := 1500

Cost Minerals                 := 1500

Cost Organics                 := 0

Cost Radioactives             := 0

Engines Per Move              := 1

Number of Tech Req            := 1

Tech Area Req 1               := Ship Construction

Tech Level Req 1              := 9

(rest snipped)

check vehiclesize.txt and see for yourself, or just start a High Tech game.

IIRC both Atrocities and Renegade are beta testers and therefore are legally required to say nothing on the subject that might reveal anything not already public.

So am I

Sorry Narf, if you want that particular cheese you'll have to extract it from my digestive system...it disappeared a few hours ago

An opening cinematic will be in line with most other games. This will help, some, to lift the series out of "obscurity".

-----(This has probably been mentioned.) We need Infantry or Tiny Troop as a starting technology in order to have a choice of planetary invasion in the beginning game. They should be weak and plenty of them would be needed to succeed over several turns. Later,they can also be cheap police units on all planets. (Forwarding to "SE5, Tell Aaron what's on your Wish List.")

Uh, oh, exactly the wrong words... Do you really want the mouse to examine your digestive system? [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]
NARF! DON'T!

-----I like the new SEV human empire ships much better than the SEIV "Lego" patch work ships. They are featured in the screen shots at www.captainkwok.net.

They are also available in Star Fury as well. And don't be too mean about the Terran ships in SE:IV, you'll make AZ cry.
