idea: Ship Behavior: Blockade

May 23, 2003 11:30 AM from

While I dont use the bocking tactic, (there are cooler ways to get a resource in the game). It might be kind of neat if a ship could blocade a selected planet to cut off trade and stuff and the AI could decide to ignore it or not and the person doing it would pay cash (like you do when you invade with special tactics)

Sounds good to me! What kind of ship(s) do you think should be able to create a blockade? Perhaps a new kind of tech should be required in order to build a specialized "Blockade Command Ship" which would contain all the sophisticated equipment to allow a small number of ships to create an effective blockade.

I wonder if the A.I. could possibly handle such a new strategic wrinkle.

Want to blockade? Hit those freighters. Otherwise, if you're not willing to hit those freighters, how the heck do you expect to blockade?

i tried putting a ring of 8 corvettes around a planet to keep the freighters from reaching the planet, it did keep the freighters from reaching the planet, but i found all my ships and starbases started getting damage dealt to them? is this supposed to happen?

About the damage, are you sure you just didnt research
something that gave you a hitpoint bonus, or gained
a tradegoods that does the same?
