My understanding is the event is a holdover from GCI that didn't actually get coded in, and sometimes they have the techs in question and sometimes they don't, but they're not holding out for just planets for them; they'll take just about anything (cash, influence, ships, techs, etc).

[quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="22" id="2129485"]Then maybe we can be pretty confidant that the majority of random events are indeed quite random. I know there are specific conditions that make some events more likely, but overall they seem very well randomized. I've had some frustration lately with not getting econ events in my mega-games. Sentient species taste better...[/quote] I got both an econ event and a pop growth event just last night...it's a sham

The advantages comes from which kind of attacks can destroy enough of any given defensive "status & configuration" rather than 50.5% beats 49.5.

Okay...let's see. -115% miniaturization is the "standard"; I'll run numbers for 100%, 115%, and 125% (you can treat this as the Yor or a convenient comparison point). -BHG is the best on tinies whereas BHE is the best on huges. (BHG gives you 17% more firepower than BHE on tinies.) 16 --> 32 --> 34 --> 36 32 (2) --> 80 (5) --> 80 (5) --> 96 (6) 150 --> 300 --> 322 --> 337 250 (10) --> 525 (21) --> 575 (23) --> 60

Oh no no no no... I never said they shouldn't take up space...I'm all for engines being quite large, to help balance things out. This is simply changing the engines into a module with a limit of one; it doesn't even necessarily need to alter their current size or sizemod. Willy, you're going to have to pick a side here: First you say that the biggest advantage huge hulls have is speed, and then you say that if that advantage is removed that their advantages will increase

Didn't try it. Read their spiel on it and decided it's worthless: -No rogue/assassin. (Perfect World had no rogue/assassin and I couldn't play that, either.) -No mage. (This is in contrast to most MMOs where the mage is exponentially the single most powerful class, so that's not necessarily a bad thing, but still, it's a standard item that's sorely missing.) -Three "archer/hunter" classes. -Three "swordsman" classes (although one could argue f

With regards to the view edits function-is there any way for it to only show what has actually been changed highlighted? For instance, I have a paragraph 5 sentences long and I change 3 words in it. Currently, it shows that I have deleted the entire paragraph and rewritten the paragraph as a whole with the new words inserted. It's difficult to see exactly what has changed, and I was under the assumption that the highlighting was intended to make what was
