To: Draginol From: The Kat Lord Subj: Military Expansion into the Nth Quadrant Q. Was the level on Suicidal? Note to self: Always take out the Drengin first... end of notes. Good luck with that one. I think your going to need it. I do love reading your games. I guess as a further compliments I tried in Beta 4 your strategy from this exercise and won a match last night. Results posted to the meta
Ship Design: States that basic life support is a size 5, yet frequently at 60 max size points I can fit the following. One Trade Module = 30 Two Impulse 2 Drives = 18 Three Basic Supports = 15? Total there is 63. Not that I am complaining mind you, but if I am using it than the aliens are and I just noticed it (mutter mutter) W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large
Monthar, Try a system restart. Worked for me. Suralle
The last few games I have played (most up to date beta on SDC) the aliens and now myself are simply not investing their hard earned tax dollars into mass driver weapons like they used to. The last two games that I logged to the MV as a matter of fact it was missile oriented with one race (mine) actually pushing Beam weaponry as well as Missile as none of the other races had defenses for anything besides missile. Lets look at the why (feel free to po
Actually this sounds like the bug that is or has hopefully been fixed in the latest version of beta from last night. An autosave failure that if I remember correctly normally caused a CTD. Archive and d/l the latest beta and see if it works for ya better. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large
Lady Che-Rene Keeper of the Failth Has decided its time to redecorate "KAT-LAND"! Now follow me on this one. When we decided to move into the same place and make it a home I was informed that my tastes basically... suck. By the following... Well all the daughters and the new wife. (ages 29... again, 21 (oldest daughter), 14 (middle daughter), 8 (youngest daughter)). So I agreed that they could tel
After you retro existing scores, what happens to the scores that are submitted after which are not 1.1+ versions? Will you be able to submit 1.0 games after the final 1.1 patch? Will those scores be retrofited daily or not be allowed to upload? Yes I know it will come out and soon, I know I will auto
Well follow this. I just got a diplomatic victory under 3A for 12,900 points. Before that I was in 32nd overall place with an average of 235,635 points. I now have a toal of 231,943... I submitted a win and went down in the rankings to about 35th. Now, I recognize that the total score there is based on some average that is about to change, but... I will be much more happy when a winning score actually gives you points
If the math is right the AI will break the alliance. You may want to try the following. 1) Place some escorted transports around their worlds. If that doesn't do it, invade! 2) Keep asking for stuff in the trade menu, especially with 1) above in place. 3) Pay someone off (minor races included) to go to war with them, than not honor your alliance. Thats about 99.967% effective normally. 4) Build starbarses
I think the population scoring takes into account the game size actually. The bigger the galaxy the more planets the more population. I remember reading way back when that the theoretical planets that could support population max was something like 5000 planets. I still do not understand why only 18% of my overall total is being counted in my scoring. I doubt that I every will. I do not like green eggs and ham... W/R Sura
If anyone should have a legit complain against folks posting one or two score MV scores and being in the top 3 or 25 for that matter its the folks with over 25 games posted that only seem to have 200K or so. Ohhh that would be me. hehehehe W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large PS: The above post was made in
Courious as to why the new no trade tech option blocks out the results on the trade screen about what techs the alien players have. Shouldn't espionage give you that report anyways? Just a thought. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large
It would be nice if you could see which trade goods you have control of and those you have traded for in the Stats screen. Likewise see which trade goods an AI has under their stats. (bump) Second this as an update item. Even though I have traded for that item I don't see it on
Yeah, might be time for Dan to get at least an FX-5200--those are dirt cheap via Pricewatch these days and do well with the latest reference drivers. I have the 5200 FX and I concur with other posters, save your money and buy a more up to date card. I can not stress the amount of time I had to spend
Okay after doing some comparitive analysis (in other words just looking through the scores of the top 50 folks) there is something going on in the suicidal range. Way to many folks winning there where there shouldn't be any ie: If the games designer (Frogboy) can't win there and the games developer (CariElf) can't win there regularly than there is an exploit or a bug. The "Sweet Spot" Frogboy is referring to in game time has to be about 12
Well, it's because many of the best players join the few top empires. Question: Why do many of the best players join the top empires? Answer: To get the medal of course. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large
Anyone? Has anyone submitted a 1.1b3 game??? I've looked around but it seems nobody has yet done it... and I will apprehensive about it. Yes, I did last night. Started the game after work at about 1730 eastern time played off and on throughout the entire weekend. Total spent on game about
Okay, now that I have nuked out how to win the beta expect to see a few more scores posted. Telling ya, its tough when you select the no trade option on technology. My ships tend to be more advanced than 90% of the aliens but not by much, just enough it seems. I should be intown for the next week but after that its off to PA.

As stated but not in this "blog" I can be reached at [email protected] Unless I am on the road working in that case your just going to have to post here and I will reply as often as I can (pretty much like rare though, as the hotels I am booked at rarely have anything more than dial up and I am not crazy about their fees.)

I have tried not to review what the other players have stated an instead want to focus on a few things I believe I have noted from the above demo. 1) As a strictly neutral player (ie: I tend to take the middle ground between good and bad as events go, although sometimes I am forced either way by situations like a poor morale or simply needing more research so I swing more good or evil based on needs per game occassionally). Anywho, I am no
IE: I take into combat a ship with medium fire power and no defenses so that it can be the cannon fodder I need (such as a medium hulled job) while my big ones finish up everything else. W/R Suralle
Attack the biggest potential threat (highest attack against your ships) with the lowest defense. Although I do not want tactical control in the game I can see a valid point here and basically its this: I have a front line battleship (as evil) with evil based offensive weapons giving me a 36
Yes, but does the dialog come after you have build the Galatic Privateer? This was the issue I was seeking, war never seems to last long enough, either I am screwed or doing the screwing faster than trade routes can collapse. W/R Suralle
Well you go Astax and kick some booty. Membership is free, the only rule is that... well play as any Kat would, independent of the rules. W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord @ Large
Currently can not do this as there is no way to set a homeplanet for a ship or class of ships in GC2. Although, this could be a good idea for a future upgrade to the game or a GC3 thing... I read another post a bit ago where traders should be allowed to move to more than one planet, could fit in with your suggestion here, kinda kill two ships one one cannon. Allow homeworld to be set for ship, allow single route but following on the with
