I'm playing in Metaverse, and I have a planet with a 700% research bonus. On that tile, I have a NLC and Tech Capital on that planet. It's only showing that I have 33TP research, which doesn't make sense to me, especially since I have a couple of econ starbases around it. So, how do I send a debug post? I need to know where to find the file and how to post it. Thanks!
Totally agree. I've been thinking that for awhile now.
I've noticed on occasion some of my transports getting 1 defense in all categories. I think when orbiting a planet. I'm not sure why, but I presume this is what you're seeing... Ah, so maybe it's only when they're in orbit? I don't think so, but you could be right. I'll try to pay attention to that tonight, as the Altarians are busting i
don't know why the AI would put defense and no offense on its ships. Only reason I can think of is that there may be a UP vote for adding defense to all cargo ships (or is that weapons?) No, Pierpoint, that's not when it happens. I've seen that vote, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve transports, which is what the AI builds its defenses on.
No, it won't. If a ship has no weapons, the enemy will simply wait until they've destroyed everything else and they can pick it apart at their leisure. Regardless how much defense it has. And aside from slowing (but not preventing) its own inevitable destruction, putting defenses on an unarmed ship will have absolutely zero effect on the battle's outcome.
Not to imply you're stupid (because I overlook stuff like this all the time!), but are you sure you didn't have a lease option checked?
I agree with #1, and I don't tend to finish games when I have an obvious advantage, either. I'm not sure what to do about it, though. But as for #2 -- What difficulty are you playing? I haven't had quite that stupid an AI on Tough or Painful. A race will surrender to another, but it's usually when they're right at the point of extinction.
Yes purchasing starbases and planets was made impossible at the same time as the bribing for war. that was a huge overkill. I would think that bribing someone to go to war would cost less than bribing them to give you a planet, and maybe even a starbase, especially if it's a mining starbase that's worth a lot or a military starbase in their own t
Marcathonas, fair enough. I have no idea how hard these things are to fix, much less to conceive of to begin with!
Thanks for the fix! There were some fanboys adamant that it worked, even to the point of shrillness. Oh, they saw that parts could get larger with the current miniturization system, and yet they maintained that it worked. What will they do now but celebrate Stardock's magnanimity for giving us this fix? Figures.
if you mean to have an option of "declare war" it think it's a good idea! why do we need to attck the enemy ship for "declaring" war on them?! let's make it official! Well, that's essentially what you do when you choose to support an ally who has been attacked. Otherwise, though, why would you want to declare war BEFORE you got in the first stri
Good idea, but I haven't tried that. I've been playing tough.
I haven't been able to bribe even an ally into going to war against anyone else since the early versions of the game. In my opinion, it was too easy, and now it's too damned hard.
Yes, mystic, I think that was the original question, though no one has been able to answer it yet. I'd also be interested in knowing.
As I understand it, they repair faster in orbit, less fast near one of your planets, and slower and slower the farther out they are. Hope I'm right and this helps.
Odin, you've made my life much easier!
Yeah, Ignuss, that sounds like a good solution. I'm glad to hear that others have seen the same problem. But maybe I shouldn't be!
shameless bump
I've been playing DL Campaign in 1.2, and through the first 3 levels the Drengin have only built warships with defenses, but never any weapons. They even upgrade defenses, going from 2 to 4 or more, but never put any weapons on. Granted, I played the first 2 levels on Normal, but the 3rd (I forget the name, but with Altarians as allies) on Painful. If this isn't a bug, what is it?
