[quote]Battle cruiser : A cruiser that has the firepower to take on capitalship but lack the armor of one (bad against smaller ships). Reason : Well, it could be a cross between a Cruiser and a Capship, something else to worry about in large fleet battles.[/quote] Actually, some of the Capital Ships are called Battlecruisers (Akkan, Dunov, Revelation, Rapture), maybe call them Destroyers instead? But are their really needed? What would they do what Heavy Cruisers don't?

Mass disorientation only affects frigates and capital ships. It shouldn't activate if there aren't any in the Gravity Well. I saw many attacks on my starbases yesterday, and didn't see this happening with only strikecraft left.

The AI surrenders a too early now, it's a bit better if you play with locked teams. They won't run away so easily from fights though, so it's a bit schizophrenic behaviour. I kind of miss those times when they fought to the last construction frigate.

[quote who="wbino" reply="12" id="2084399"]NOLF 3[/quote] There's a third one?! Or do you mean the NOLF 2 expansion Contract J.A.C.K.? My advice is don't follow pre-release hype, you'll live happier if and when the games can't fulfill their promises. Thats what'll i do with Mass Effect 2, i've only watched the teaser trailer, and wiil now refuse any info on it untill it's released :)

Television tax? Something similar to the fact that around here we have to pay many € every year to own a TV? (Although some politicians have been pushing to make it tax) On topic, you haven't lived until seeing a Transcencia take on and (almost) win a combined fleet of three different players [e digicons]:omg:[/e] , poor fools lost six Capital ships, and had my fleet arrived in time, or had i built defenses around the dead asteroid, it would have survived.

TEC and Advent have a dedicated construction cruiser, Vasari use the coloniser frigate, all races require tier 2 defense research to be able to build them. Blair promised a manual last week, so it should be available soon. Edit: Looking forward to your next version, i combined this with Bailknights mod and Sins Plus to create BailShooter+ mod (or VolumetricKnight+ [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ), cant wait to see what you can do with Starbases. Considering bodies, remember that Vasari starb

That same thing happened to me last night. If it had deployed it's mines and jumped away, it would make sense, but it just sat there, waiting to be destroyed [e digicons]:S[/e]

They can be annoying, especially when the random map generator puts one in the middle of colonisable planets, which poses a constant threat of backdoor attacks to your empire, but atleast with Entrenchment, you can have a nasty surprise waiting for the fools coming through [e digicons]:ninja:[/e] Of course, they offer you the same possibility, and can cut a lot of traveling time for fleets.

Check the User Interface section of the menu, there was an issue at somepoint that caused everything there to stay off, it did involve saving while in cinematic mode, though.

I've had this couple of times, and i think i know how it happens: My fleet was in phase jump, when i issued it a new destination, after that, the ships ignored group jump command. It has happened to me twice like this, but someone else should try to reproduce it.

[quote who="love9sick" reply="20" id="2080475"]Oh, I was meaning to ask. Does anyone know if there has been any major changes to the Diplomacy features of the game or should I still just continue to play with the teams locked?[/quote] No changes to the diplomacy yet, but the next micro-expansion should rework the system.

There is a program called Galaxy Forge that lets you design your own maps. It's available from the downloads section. As for difference between random maps and map designer: very small, designer just let's you set the values by which the random map is generated.
