LOL defence in GC2 is pointless, I had a ship in one game with 36 shields and it was almost owned by a fighter with 5-7 beam attack. What was the Shielded ship like? A cargo hull? The chance that a Fighter with an attack value of 6 inflicts damage at all on a ship with 36 defense is like 14%.<br
It's exactly as I said... My Large 30/22 just ate 3 Fleets of Small and Medium Drengin-Ships. It took 18 Damge in all these fights. The combined attack of the enemies was like 70 but the single ships had around 20 and less. My ship would not even have survived the first fleet, if it had 52/0 instead of 30/22!
I just had my first victory on Tough/Intelligent. There was an event that gave me all the technology of the others. So I suddenly got some really awesome guns and could wipe out the only race, that was not already friendly towards me. Might have won it anyway. If you start a game with 2 neutral civs in it and you are quickly making trade-routes with them, they most likely will like you for the rest of the game. <br
I wonder why the hotseat-option isn't choosable from the menu if they already implemented it.
Well, they kinde rendered my Tranniekiller-Design worthless but they weren't up to do something to help against my Tranniekiller 2-Design with less engines but some shields instead. In the end I stil lost but the AI could have won with far less casualities by not having so many un- or poorly defended Transports hang around in open space. I mean, really, the whole borderline was flooded with Transports waitin for their fleets to wi
I had a similar problem. One of my transports reached its destination, an undefended enemy-planet. It, however, did not invade it tough it had 2 or 3 moves left. And even after using up these moves (I could not send it in manually either) the turn button did not appear. I tried to destroy the bugged transport but the game would not let me. I could'nt go to the options-menu either. I however could play around with my planetes and stuff. May it have been
In my last game under B1.1-2 i noticed the AI would escort some of their Transports with "Escort"-Ships and some not. The number of unescorted transports dropped as the game proceeded. However, they only used that one ship-type called "Escort" for its namegiven purpose. This ship was far behind the ships the AI used for its attack fleets. They all had 2 Beam-Attack and nothing else while other ships of that AI came with 10 or more
I think nullspace got the point here. Whenever you are outnumbered defense becomes more effective as it works against every single attacker. 5 x 5/0 a 10 HP vs 1 x 20/0 a 20 HP will result in the destruction of the one ship with little chances to fire back more than once before beeing destroyed. It will not kill more than 1 or maybe 2 attackers. 5 x 5/0 a 10 HP vs 1 x 10/10 a 20 HP dramatically changes odds, since the 10 Defense h
I sent my Troop-Transport to an enemy-world but it would not invade. It still had some movement-points left so i moved it around the planet to invade until it had none. But now the game did not proceed. There was no turn/skip-button and going to the menu did not work. I thought about killing that bugged transport but the ships-menu would not open either. I am not sure if the bug was caused by the transport or if the transport-thin
I think the planet-list would be far more useful, if the field, where you can select the sort-order of the planets by clicking these little arrows on its side, was a pull-down-menu. I really hate clicking through all the sort-options, I currently don't want, to get to the one I want this time.
Could someone explain, what the Bonus-Content actually is? I am to lazy to enter another 28-Char-Serial to find out myself.
Uh, setting my windows to english actually worked! Thanks a lot!
For some reason I do not have any textures at all. Planetes are represented as an circle, no matter how far I zoom in. Ships look really ugly too with no textures on them. I am curios if I have done something that I was not supposed to. I purchased the german version, installed it and went to apply the 1.1 Beta-Patch. I had been warned, that the patch is only for the engli
