I forgot to add they were also defenseless. I am running patch 1.1 as well. The first time I played the scenario was with the original unpatched game. They gave me a lot harder run for my money and I was playing them on normal or even easy. I'm wondering if the AI sometimes gets stuck in a rut. I noticed the naked defenders before but after blowing them up the computer always built better ships spanked my butt and sent me crying for my mommy. This time they just sat there and let me exterminate

The AI failed to build anything except a few colony ships and constructors. For combat ships all it built were 0 attack defenders. I took my time waited forever for them to do anything remotely agrresive - they just sat there sending in the occasional constructor to build a base I promptly blew up. Upon capturing their last planet they had the tech Phasors 3 but had done absolutely nothing with it... whats going on? Did the mission AI get a lobotomy? The stardate I won the game was 1 nov 2228.

Exactly buy it in a store - almost every game store I shop at has multiple copies on the shelf. As for giving you a serial I don't see anyone with a brain doing that as it would keep them from playing the game they themselves paid for...

I noticed ever since I updated to the first beta that I can no longer use my right mouse button to rotate the ship. Upgrading to the next updates all the way up to the final beta has not fixed this problem. I had the latest drivers for all of my peripherials and hardware installed before the update and everything was fine. I can't seem to fix this no matter what I try. Is there an option I am overlooking somewhere? I really enjoy designing ships but clicking on the swivel buttons

I have always noticed that for example on a PQ 12 planet I never get the full 12 usable tiles. One example looks like this: Colony center tile, 9 usable and 1 upgradable tile. I'm using the racial bonus that gives me an extra 20% boost in PQ. I believe the racial bonus is bugged as the planet does'nt seem to do anything other than upgrade the planet PQ number not the number of tiles.

Its not just racial bonuses that are different for each race - the AI for each race behaves quite differently for each. I won't go into that as it has been explained before in this very thread. If you see no difference between each race behavior increase the difficulty.

Dude don't blow a gasket. Some people just don't know how to appreciate it when something actually is supported after its released. As for the delay... thank god they aren't the company that promised us duke nukem forever...

Initiative is also a big factor. If you are the attacker your chances of winning are higher because you get a first strike. Pure defense ships have never made sense in any of my games - if you have no offense the enemy will kill you eventually no matter how good your defense is. As for beating that attack 3 laser ship on equal tech - use starbases to increase your attack and defense. Make sure your ships do at least the same damage

I have alot of crash issues when I try to reload old save games. I think the main reason for this is me deleting the ships that I used back then as I keep swapping my ship styles around. A neat looking terran combo looks like a pile of crap when you load it using ship styles of other races.

I'm running 2 7800 GTx cards - 4 gigs of ram and a 3.6ghz amd processor with no problems at all. My case has fans positioned front and back top to bottom to maximise airflow and cooling. Even this game running at max resolution setting for over 12 hours has caused no adverse effects other than carpal tunnel for myself

I found a work around for this problem : change the ship to your hearts content. When you are finished just add at least one more charachter to the name or change one. For example Destroyer Mk1 to Destroyer Mk2 and it won't crash. Do not delete the old ship type if you are still using ships of that type or it will also crash. Hope this helps
