One way could be through a 'maneuvering thrusters' module that could be installed, giving the base a velocity of 1 pc/week. In the pilot for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the space station orginally orbited a planet, and it was moved through its maneuvering thrusters to a more stategic location to protect a wormhole. It was suggested in dialogue that the procedure was somewh
As intellectually dishonest as pretending nations like Iran aren't interested in destabilizing other nations in the Middle East? Come on. Now you backpeddle and claim it only counts once they are successful. You want to talk about intellectual honesty? I have not said that Iran is not trying to destabilize other nations in the middle east. But af
I think it is cute how selective people like Cikomyr are when it comes to stuff like this. They are "realists" when it comes to having to sit down with Iran in order to solve Iraq's problems, but when you imply that Iran is a problem, they demand to know why we'd ever think that. I should have used past tense when I asked the question..
. The American populace in general were not prepared for the horror of 9/11. I think they'll find a horse of a different color waiting for them now. There is quite a difference between an attack that killed 3000 peoples and a nuke that will wipe millions. Come on, you overevaluate 9/11. It's like a kick in the balls, it hurts, but you'l
The panel is so naive and ignorant that they failed to realize that Iran and Syria are to Iraq what The USSR was to Vietnam and China was to Korea. I would call them realist Should Iran have a policy of knocking do
"The onion"?
Well, roll me in custard and eat me silly me... I am grateful things haven't felled for that.. but were there true protest over his choice?
OK. Now, what if that Sherman had to go up against an Abrams? Or that Mustang against an F-16? Pretty Well, if they have to face your own Abrams, you are right. However, if their ennemies still is in the Panzer Age... and I do know that some civilians would love to get their hands on a Sherman <img src="http://images.stardock.
The first muslim senator in the history of the united states, Keith Ellison asked not to be sworn on the bible, but on the quran. However, some conservative critics lashed at him because, they say, it "undermines the american culture". What do you say?
I do not fear the governement itself, I fear the whole system who seems to have gotten out of control...
I wondered a thing.. what happens to a ship when you de-commission it? I mean, in theory, you're tearing it appart, and sell the components for $$. However, I wondered if we could instead sell it to the open market? Your ship disappear, and you get more $ out of it. However, anyone who puts the money can buy it. Even pirates.. they could simply use the outdated ships of most players to harass starbases and trade routes. It would give a new scope to "
Wasn't there going to be a slider in DA to increase the number of turns the AI planned ahead? Those with very capable gaming rigs could set the slider insanely far ahead and get a super AI? The problem isn't about how far ahead the AI plan, but how effectively it runs it's military in the "now", as M. Frogboy said. You can plan a military campai
thanks for your help. To be honest, I never expected the computer opponents to be this smart, I play Civ 4 and its easy to find that one weakness, but not in this game So true... But always come a time when you will be able to take on 5 AIs at the same time (not my fault I genocided 4 minor races + the Iconians within 3 months) (proposition #1:
It seems to me that this is a tactic that’s difficult to defend against by both sides and one that both sides are able to implement. I don’t see where speed is intrinsically unfair. Well, with a good planning a fortifying key worlds even in peacetime, you can defend against that kind of tactic. Problem is, there isn't the need, so we can
Also do not forget that considering the size of a stargate and the tech used to create it, it would probably be equivalent to hundreds of engines. So any transport between planets would take 1 turn I guess you haven't read the story of GalCiv. Stargates were costly designs, and it would take years to space-travel. They were kind of space-catapul
Wouldn't the solution to this be make drives a lot bigger on larger hulls? They will, in Dark Avatar. They want to nerf down engines (and I support them). I was more looking into a way to play on par against the AI, while not using cheesy tactic (my invasion forces of 20 transports who could move 50 pc/week each was one. 14 billion peopl
I read in one of your post that the AI wasn't designed to deal with ships who can travel faster than 8 pc/week. I now play the game with no ships faster than 8 pc/weeks, and I find it a lot harder. I would like to know the other critical blind spots of the AI so I could avoid to exploit them, allowing the AI to fight on a more equal ground.
And just "when" was the last time where you saw a country wipe out an entire bunch of terrorists? I can tell you. NEVER! Because it's never been tried or done. I take that back...it's been tried. English/Irish. And just why was it not successful? Because the Brits were unwilling to do what was necessary to wipe them out. because it's plain impos
Pirates should be treated like Civ4's barbarians, popping in blind area of the fog of war, attacking freighters, starbases... just to keep you on your toes
he black panthers in the 60's tried to become a terror orginazation but were infiltrated and torn apart before they could get moving. We did not have that option because of Congress and their short sighted political view of the world. I though the black population stopped supporting this movement when they were finally allowed the same rights th
love how people act so well informed yet don't remember news broadcast that don't agree with their point of view Well, considering the fact that in year 2000, I was barely 14 years old and more interested in girls in my school than foreign policies (when I think of it, I still am), I hope to make up for what I missed in the meantime.
All good reasons, too bad they don't work. The Gulf war was when daddy Bush was in office and there was a steady raise in gas prices then too. None of the things you list had anything more than a temporary raise in price. You see the price of oil is not set by the government it is set by speculators. Since oil prices are not controlled by the oil companies or the governmen
You described the type of events in an earlier post. For some reason though I am not sure I would want to handle it that way. What about being able to see where the AI is moving his ships, or constructing star bases or what he is building or researching? That is why it would be a good idea to make auto-pause every 5 time unit (# set by the player
Indeed they were up to something. Agreed on that. But I'd say they wanted to disturb so much everybody so the crew would be forced to expulse them, so they could denounce the treatment they suffered, and how US Airways is discriminatory of Muslims. All a big marketing ploy, that worked quite well however. More oil on the fire of resentment
I usually end up with 25 pc/week transports, with capacity of 1B troopers...
