Anyone familiar with naval command structure?? Care to spout off the command hierarchy? Is there some ranking officer called the XO?

Looks like I lost the touch for even small masochistic maps. I've lost eight in a row. Managed to take out the strongest race each time and then hit the wall.

I've noticed negative modifiers usually do not stack. Since 13 and 14 colonies are viable if you can put soil enhancers and habitant improvements on them quickly.

[quote]But I also second Ray's suggestion for starbase governors. Even in smaller games, there is a lot of constructors going around! [/quote] Especially on smaller maps. Production bonuses and Trade bonuses are so essential on the smaller maps. Every extra bit of income and production matters a great deal.

Galactic Discoveries Edge of a Galactic Core Barry Light monitored the progress of Bridge toward their destination. Barry flipped through the ship maintenance data, scanned comminication bands, and brought up the sensor reports. Everything was proceeding just fine, just like an hour ago, just like two hours ago, and just like three hours ago. For two months, he watched the same data scroll across his console several hundred times, and none of it was out of the ord

There are some bonuses that should not be passed up lightly A + 30+% PQ bonus. A + 30+% production on 22+ PQ planet. A + 45+% starship bonus on 25+ PQ planet. A + 50+% research on 22+ PQ planet. There are some penalties that just cannot be accepted A -33% moral penalty A -30+% productivity penalty on 19+ PQ planets A -20+% PQ penalty Other choices should be made according to your game plan.

Ray, the Fellowship thread is already growing at a remarkable speed. I wonder how long it will take to hit 1000 posts. I think we blew by 500 without noticing it. Either that or I was inattentive.

Miles, that one song will be included in GNN installment of the WotW - it doesn't quite fit as a rally song, but is good for persuading aliens of the cultural superioriyt of the Fellowship. I wonder if J4 will be around to provide more GNN excerpts.

Thanks Miles. That's great. I'm copying now. You'll probably see in the next week. Credits to you in that section of the WotW.

Part five of WotW should be finished tomorrow. I wrote this one with lightning speed and during broken sessions so there probably are some incohesive passages.

They really should have those, it really helps out the AI, which really needs help with starbase management. I want to see a more flexible AI teching rather than fixed evaluation of techs. AIs with merchantile party should value trade techs more. Builder AIs like Arceans and Altarians should evaluate the tech tree according to their strategy. The deflector tech is extremely overvalued. I'm going to cheat now and submit another suggestion. Traded techs should be acquire
