Quick check, did you change the tab at the top of the planet build list to show "old" buildings? It's possible (it's been a while since I played the campaigns) that basic labs are the only obsolete building you start with, which is why they are the only ones showing up on your build list.
The starport can be set to build the same ship model after finishing the current ship. IIRC there is a checkbox in the options menu to change this, although this is "on" by default, so you would have needed to change it to get any other result. As far as setting the starport to build 3 colony ships, then a constructor, then 2 survey vessels - no, you need to do that manually. It's rarely a problem past the firt part of the game anyway. For launching ships, try using waypoints. Set the w
Crud! I've been building substandard arrays - I hadn't noticed the modules you need battlestations to build. OTOH, can you confirm the necessity of one point defense on ships in the array? I have whole classes of ships that only have weapons, and the fleets show a substantial defense rating. Also, my preferred method of populating the array is usually tiny hulls. Even minimally armed, they gain massive bonuses for the least capital investment, and you can cram more of them in a
[quote]1. What's the economy system like? Do you have to work the majority of your game time doing work, building up your economy by 'playing the spreadsheet' and 'slider micromanagement' as in GC2, or is it something simpler and less of a focus. 2. In GC2, the raw materials are cash(BC), industrial production(MP/SP) and research(RP). In Sins, the raw materials appear to be cash, metal and 'crystal'. Then where's the research?!! Do you just unlock all the techs for a certain level by bu
It happens all the time. IIRC it's been added to Stardock's master pile of things to look into for version 2.0 For now, be aware of it and make sure you don't screw yourself. The correct amount will show up in the bottom windows of the trade screen, or just click the up/down button to show the entire amount.
[quote]Thanks Cari and team. One question please. + TWEAK: Minor Races made significantly more intelligent What does this mean in game terms? [/quote] Less drooling, hopefully ;p Maybe they'll buil
[quote]Sigh, It sounds like the vast majority of ya'll are quiet young. You know all systems created by humans are not perfect because we are not perfect. This is not a rant against change. But those that change things to fix an immediate problem tend to cause problems down the line. Look at our electoral congress, does the popular vote have anything to do with it... not much. There are other. As for drug addiction and pushers and addicts. Well I know of one "happy" place that actually
Coincidental snow day for me! How convenient.... :D
It's generally a non-issue. Water vapor is a huge component of gas/diesel exhaust, and we don't seem to have this problem. Hell, the military is experimenting with a system to condense the water vapor from humvee exhaust into potable water so soldiers have to carry less of it. IIRC you can get 1-2 gallons of water from each gallon of fuel.
Seconded, this has always annoyed me.
[quote] The baby in the microwave is a result of the failure of multiple things: school system, family system, support systems that we had since the beginning of mankind. The good news is that those problems can all be fixed. Assuming she can manage to cry on cue, she'll get off the murder rap. That means she'll be elligible to sue for the wrongful death of her child. I'm sure she'll start with GE, for not putting a warning label on the microwave. But rest

[quote]Many of you have good points. But many more bad, falisied points. The worst is the aspect of perceived intelligence level and subculture seperation. One of the biggest problems with going along with these perceptions is that the ones creating and pushing them are the ones who's families are long time (multi-generation) power mongers. Just because the family background is great, and their families have the most wealth in the world, does not mean that they are the intellectual leaders to ma
Certainly it's in DA, I had it happen in my current game. IIRC a lesser version is in DL.

[quote] Mars is too light to hold an Earth temperature atmosphere for any appreciable length of time I don't doubt that you are correct, the problem is one of filling a leaking container. However, I read somewhere that if you could instantly pump the moon up to 1 earth atmosphere, it would remain breathable for about 2000 years, (I didn't do the math). That's long enough to be useful in people years, but in cosmic terms it is a moment. I don't recall the nu
I like this, too. But at this point, I'd almost prefer tech trading to remain broken simply because I know it annoys that certain poster more than it does me ;p
I'm reminded of the Scott Adams defense of why he doesn't vote (this is the guy who writes Dilbert) Any time you hear something criminally idiotic like this, repeat this to yourself like a mantra: "And then they voted"
[quote] Don't know about CalifDude's problem, but the Vegan thing is by design - when a new minor race appears, they start with all techs anyone has researched. That part is intentional, and not a bug. You mean that part is STUPID . [/quote] No, I'm pretty sure that's [I]necessary[/I]. Minor races are incredibly weak as is. What possible end would be served by introducing a minor race a couple years after the game begins with no tech
Here's some recommended reading, if anyone's interested, all fiction but by reasonably good (ie practical) authors: Red/Green/Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson Based on the colonization and eventual partial terraforming of Mars. Interesting, but there's at least one glaring flaw: Mars is too light to hold an Earth temperature atmosphere for any apperciable length of time, especially without a magnetic field. I ran the math myself after I read the books; N2, O2, and water vapor
This issue has been brought up before, and IIRC Stardock has said it's in their to-do pile. Each race has to be gone through and have these modules enabled on appropriate techs, or in some cases have the lack of these modules as part of their racial uniqueness. Part of the problem might lie in tech trading, as it may become possible (when these modules are implemented for the races currently lacking them) to get multiple techs enabling the same or parallel modules, allowing more modules
[quote]Deep Space 9? Wimpy station. I always have the Iron Bitch. Read the Armagedon Inheratance from David Weber. [/quote] I never bother naming bases, but my ship classifications are all based on Honorverse ship classes. Care to guess what Shrike and Ferret class ships are?
[quote] Hi! Yet another alternative to the tie rule with 1-HP defending ship is you need to have in the attacking fleet at least one more ship than that 1-HP defending ship has guns. A fleet of several dozens of tiny hulls with one cheap gun, accompanied by a strong ship to erase DL's defenses (if DLs have more than those tinys can remove with their punny attacks) should be suficient to destroy just about anything the DLs can field. OFC you need to bring tha
