Wow, lots of attention here on this topic. To those who think I only read part of the article... I have read the entire article, all the links, and have done my own research ever since the global warming farce has come to popular belief. I have done my research, and that is why it is a relief that this dishonesty is finally coming out. Computer models can be set up to be biased, just like polls can. And do not site sources like Wikipedi
If there is no "shiftiness" going on, why did Al Gore - the "leader" of the green movement - cancel his next speaking arrangement with no reason given? There has been plenty of bad science going on for a long time... And it is not science that is ruined, it is politicized science, green science. The facts were manipulated to get a conclusion that fit a political agenda. That is not science, that is fabrication, manipulation and loathsome. And it has go
You can read the evidence yourself Van. I guess i should also ask if the public has lost is sense of truth....

I figured the AI was busted bad. I'll update the post in the morning, and then add a voting method for the suggestions we may want to see in diplomacy... cheers!
updated post... any suggestions for diplomacy improvements?
First up - AI bugs 1. AI does not join players in single player. >> 2. AI does not react to envoy cruisers yet. >> Next, preferance bugs 1. the preferances are not independent, thus not allowing saves, and other setting issues. >> Lastly, improvements.<
Ok, time to add some structure to this beta... List the improvement, bug or balance that is needed in Diplomacy - and we will keep track of it here. I will also track the forums in Diplomacy and add anything I find in other posts to this one. BUGS 1. Preferences not saved separately (devs will fix) 2. Minidu
I think the SG should be a tier 3 tech - with the upgrades only going to tier 5. That would allow them to come out early midgame if needed, and cause a significant slowdown to any attack, giving the defensive player a chance to jump in reinforcements. I rarely see super weapons, so I don't consider them much of a threat. A strong fleet will trump supers any day, every day. (though I find the Vasari jumping to be VERY useful) [e digicons]*_*[/e]
I think the sound effect, timer and status bar are enough. Sorry Sanchezz, you just have to pay more attention, especially if your scuttling stuff. [e digicons];P[/e]
good story. Been following it for a while. Sins is kinda on the downswing here lately...
meh, dragons smagons.... I'll shoot your dragons from spaaaaaace! And that is good to know! Happy Thanksgiving indead!
yes, a single cap... I'm talking about +3 or more. If you do your scouting right, you will see the massing fleet and be able to divert resources to the proper counter... capitals, flak and LF. Each race has a good single unit killer cap, a support/healer and a mass damage ship. Get those three for your respected race, throw in some flak, lf of your own, and have some xp! I can just see the TEC with a lvl 6 marza
Scout nerf: NAY Scout Balance: NEEDS ADDED - Re-balance scout armor: YAY increase navigator HP/shields: YAY Scout armor should be as follows - Tec 1.5, Vas 2, Advent 1 DO NOT decrease the hp/shields of any of the scouts!!!! [e digicons]:typo:[/e] They need to survive when doing their job. (scouting)
I consider scout spam as free captial ship levels [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] seriously, if an opponent wants to spam lf and scouts, roll in some caps. You can thank him for it later when you pawn his fleet with 3x experienced captial ship fleets. just keep enough of a fleet of lf or flak of your own, and wade into the xp....
I think the balance is fine as is. scouts are weak, even in mass numbers. LFs, flak and caps can all kill them quite easily. The Advent are the toughest, but that seems fair due to their weak eco and early game bonuses.... On a different note - I do think the defense structure consts should go down (turrents/hangers). Drop that by 25% and all will be well.
I would have to agree with the above statement.... i want a max of 16 squads out of a carrier class battleship!
if you simply move your fleet along the escape route, your ships will fire at any enemy within range. some ships will be better at this than others, so experiment with your fleet composition to find what works best. And some capital ships can disable ships from jumping away :) You could also use jump degrigation buildings in your wells to slow the fleets down.
Was it a vasari starabase? If it was, i would say he used repair vortex and frontal sheilds. very hard to destroy....
Call in a badass.... :) What if there is a "higher level" of existence... and you actually could influence it?
I would give you karma, but quote the server "404" [e digicons];P[/e]
It also needs a player traking system to eliminate those darn Smurfs [e digicons]
I can already foretell the results on some of this.... The advent Carrier spam will kill the Vas. if only skirms are used. The Vas player on point blank will be killed within 20 mins if the reaction time is not good enough.... 40 minutes if he gets a starbase on the homeplanet soon enough. Thats my prediction. Let the testing begin!
