i am of the understanding that this will be implemented. there was talk of it being in 1.1, but clearly other features took precedence. hopefully 1.2?

###################################################################################### Skowbo System, May. 19 -- This has been, perhaps, the most extraordinary day in the whole history of Precursor excavation. Whatever any one may have guessed or imagined of the secret of Carielf's office, they surely cannot have dreamed the truth as now revealed. The entrance today was made into the inner chamber of the office of Carielf, and yet another door opened beyond that. No eyes have se
ALL HAIL CARIELF or else........
any chance this idea could be applied to in-game dialogue?
i think defence is a little undervalued vs hitpoints. my suggestion would be that defence does not roll a dice but always defends at full value(direct)/square root(implied), whereas attack goes to (x + dice roll) to ensure basic damage and a plus to simulate successful targeting i agree about OFM, and said as much during the beta. defending planets should be able to fleet automatically perhaps armour should add to HP???

you've got a lot of support out there, brad - maybe you can rely on some more 'vollies' to monitor the forum while you bed the QA in? not me. i iz crap
they had a 'cheat-checker' at the end of the game for GC1.......and cheaters found a way past it by hacking their game files to look kosha. yes, it's a pain if you have dial-up (like sad old me) but I just start and save a few games in a batch and go from there.....
i've reported this in the council, so i'm sure they're onto it. hopefully will be fixed in the new build (out soon). be patient. my investigations seem to also link it to right clicking the blue ship icon to launch, which was a feature added at the last minute. though i could be wrong. but yes, it is an annoying b.u.g. that one.
i have used this tactic once or twice (but not with cargo hulls, just tiny hulls) when i'm up againt a militarily superior AI - it's called guerilla warfare and is I think is legitimate tactic to draw out a war in hope of peace (because you can't win it of course), but would like the AI to employ too in similar circumstances
Any of you other diplomats having trouble? Hasn't appeared as a button for a while and my saved link doesn't work no more
and no "taking a breather" doesn't mean hitting the forums 24/7
still finding that occasionally when clicking on a ship/fleet that the previous ship/fleet (having already moved) is also activated and they both move. not sure what triggers it, but it does happen quite often. this is in 1.0X

hey draginol, given the MOM stall, have you ever thought of doing a sequel to Fantasy General? *that* would be wikkid
it's a bit of both - yes the grab is very competitive, but if you grab too much, it's easy to go broke trying to keep it all. stabalising your economy is a *very* important part of the early game. even the AI has to do it.
have noticed that the Beta 5 gets as high as 600 MB but Brad has said that in the final release it only uses 300 MB with most of that swapped out. thanx, paul. that's what i heard too. i s'pose i was hoping for an exact best-case minimum. i'll prob upgrade to 1gb anyways
