lol

had to look twice to see which thread i was in..

though i was in the anzacs thread for a sec..

Need I feel something cold come through.

Sorry... I missed it. Too many aliens hitting me over the head recently I'm sure. However... if it's cold you want -10 here in the sun today.

Hey!!! Cool! I just discovered I'm a member of the CSF Empire Senate. I wonder who made that mistake???? LOL

And better yet... My zero score has been removed.

Christmas came early this year I guess. I can hardly wait for Dec 25th.

Maybe you know the PM.

OOPs wrong Senate LOL

Yeah... We go to McD's all this time... Suck back some burgers, fries and a coke... Hummm... Or was that Rick Mercer? Too much fantasy time. Must go along with killing aliens. LOL

Got some snow decided to bump up a level.

Newbie Question:

How good are the +5% and +7% PQ choices, and how do they interact with Soil Improvement, Habitation and Terraforming?

To me it seems like the 7% is not a realistic choice due to cost. There are too many other things you can do with the points.

In the same vein, are there other choices that are red-herrings as well? Also are there any choices that seem overpowered?

Just curious

I play alot of games but not at difficult levels with increased PQ, and Moral.

I like the PQ bonus. I think is cool land on a class 14 planet and bang you get an automatic class 15 planet but I do not think most players go for the improvement in PQ.

Used to increase luck but I do not think increasing luck does much for the amount it costs.

Moral choices are good my systems are less effected by the effects of cultural attacks.

Walker,

A lot of players have standard choices of PQ +5 and diplo; I do. Then I pick a party with diplo and morale. That usually leaves 1 or 2 points to play with. I either go for influence or morale. I play on large so I don't choose speed, but it's said to be useful on giga maps.

I played a game with luck, but didn't find is all that useful. I haven't really tried much else.

I don't think the hit points or soldering or tech are all that helpful... but I'm a diplo/influence player and only kill'em when I have no other choice.

I'm finding it a little more difficult on challenging than on painful. It appears that you need to micro manage well beyond the mid-game.

I believe that SD rebalanced the picks around the 1.02/1.05 time frame so nothing seems to be too over powered. At least from the ones I've tried. The PQ pick used to be way over powered for example.

The abilities picks at the start of the game work at the civilization level, so as Technician indicated, a landing on a class 14 it becomes a class 15 without any social projects. The social projects work at the planet level. So building soil enhacement only has effect on that one planet. It increases the PQ in addition to the PQ ability pick.

Be sure to browse throght the stragey forum. There's some really good stuff there.

+7% is definitely not worth it.

Thanks vincible.

Much appreciated all of you.

Being the founder of the Canadian Star Federation I dole out Senator roles in our empire to those players who appear the most deserving. It's a completely arbitrary decision on my part, I admit.

So far what I have tried to give the honour to people who have displayed either a significant skill in the game, (i.e. racking up nice scores in high difficulty settings) or to individuals who are very active members of the community.

Maybe I should announce such decisions as a reward to those being honoured?

Soon that note, it is my great pleasure to announce I have just added Paulus 07 to the Senate. In the past month, he has won seven games at Crippling or Masochistic level, quickly climbing up the ladder of Canadian players.

Yup. Good policy in my humble opinion.

I believe then Sir, I have you to thank for my own elevation to the exalted ranks. LOL

Thanks!

Da Moose

Wooo Hooo!





Way to go Paulus!

Do we have a Canadian GC web site ?

Some of the web pages I seen are very impressive.

Not that I'm aware of. And yes some of them are impressive. Ah... If I only didn't have a life... LOL

New logo... cool! Anyone want to admit to changing it? I hope the maple leaf comes back after Christmas. Or in the spring... which happens sometime around August I think.

Apparently one of my Senators brought the maple leaf back early...

Scrooge.

If someone wants to run the web page, I'd gladly link it and authorize it. I don't want to do it, I'm too lazy.

Hummm... Busy playing 1.13 I guess :notsure:

Well... I was playing... Submitted my last game... without a zero this time... Wooo Hooo!


I broke the top 200. 189. I believe. Only 188 more to go... LOL

Don't think I'll update to 1.13. As a matter of fact I think I'll see if I can find a copy of 1.11 on the drive some place. Breaking the mods... (:( Tech IDs must be below 200.

So I found a copy of 1.11 and instlled.Play a game now.
