[quote who="Sinperium" reply="26" id="2943872"]I wouldn't want to make planets into total turtle havens but for a key world, you shouldn't be able to fly a little skirmish group in and devastate it.[/quote] Why not? Is it not the soul of stragety games to tip the scales with daring moves?

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="19" id="2943760"] I think something that would help would be the creation of home guard units--ships that can't jump but can patrol home systems cost effectively and with weapons optimized for stopping small raiding groups. Basically an armed and armored up scout. It's called a "hanger" specced with "fighters". It just sucks currently and needs a buff. [/quote] Any buff would make it OP as the

A year ago, I requested for diplomancy a way to set certain ships to attack specific targets, aka trade ships, and now after thinking about it, how about setting the empire tree to show ships and structures seperately by command? This will help keep the tree lean without having to wade through all 500 ships and structures that jumps up and down when ships enter or explode.

[quote who="Zeta1127" reply="25" id="2924048"]Maybe the new capital ships will be the scrapped ones from pre-beta Diplomacy, which are the TEC Vera Destroyer, the Advent Salvation Destroyer, and the Vasari Marrasek Destroyer, respectively. [/quote] Intersting, a smaller and cheaper cap ship might be better to help some of the current Capship shortfalls.

[quote who="boshimi336" reply="676" id="2904581"]Is it a Dead Asteroid? Does it have a buff that reduces population? I've run across this sometimes, once it happened five games in a row before I got a good roid start. [/quote] Failed to noticed the "Frequent Meteorites" buff that I got quite a few times in a row. Thanks.

Odd bug for 1.19f(rc) but does anyone have problems developing your first asteroid next to your homeworld? No matter which race I played, the first asteroid has no population growth at all even after developing the roid. It looks like a bug since another asteriod is also located next to the homeworld yet that roid grows to 20 pop after development.

[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="15" id="2901895"] Quoting CoBBQ, reply 12 Sometimes, life is not fair. It's not an issue of fairness. It's an issue of, "Would I prefer a real opponent?"

[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="1" id="2900689"] The AI needs an retreat script because I see the AI losing too many ships and wasting money to purchase newer ships. Why not just play against human opponents on Ironclad Online? Sadly, the AI will never be capable of strategic thought and will always have one hand tied behind its back.

Interesting but I doubt that will ever work. If a titan can go ahead and wreck an entire system of ships and structures by itself, the expenses for supporting such a ship will be prohibitive and not worth sacrificing the ship for extra resource that may be used earlier. My idea for the Titan class ship is to make them a "Dammit Rammit" ship. They should a mix of starbase and capital ship in structure and abilities. You can purchase a a basic hull which can

I tell you what happened. First of all, the floors on fire did pancake and took out the few floors below it which left the structure unable to hold the weight of the structure above. Once that support went, you had one big frigging wrecking ball that plunged straight down the middle the of the towers which pulverized the concrete. This "dustification" is nothing more that hundreds of shattering concrete boulders constantly slamming into each other on the way down while the o

You claim to be a Structural Engineer yet you do not know the properties of steel-reinforced concrete itself? That stuff is rather bendy but once it reaches its limit, the whole setup shatters and sprays sand and cement all over, leaving a sizable gap in the structure.

It fires a massive dose of THC/LSD mixture with some added Advent philosphy thus making the planet inhabituers want to join the Advent. When you see the shot hit the planet, you should see the alliegience of that planet drop over time.
