Try playing against human players for a change. If you still don't use flak then, either you're a tactical genius or you're dead.

I didn't mean it as a gripe - more like a mix of emphasis and tongue-in-cheek comment.

These Scyllor are so cute, maybe too cute - I'll feel guilty if I ever go to war with them again.

I'm jealous. I have never met those cosmic dragons. I've seen several but never actually "met" them. The poor critters have a speed of only 25, which means they always get stranded in space when the Experimentor starlanes collapse, and apparently are removed from the game on the next turn. Or maybe...

Apparently, there's a missing [[AVERAGE_DEFENSE_TROOPS]] in the species description. I didn't realize it until I needed to build troopships on a non-HW planet while I hadn't researched any +troops tech yet. Also, a few downloads but no feedback so far. Do you think structural decay and homesickness ...

Description (you may want to open the image in a new tab to read it properly): rumboid.png Notes: Structural decay will not kill a ship on its own. Although if you leave a ship out of supply for too long, its structure can reach a meekly 0.01. Solipsistic individualism gives a small shield bonus to ...

Maybe you could just make conquered planets subject to "psychic fatigue" (that thing you get from conc camps) for a few turns. Just change the activation condition, parameters, and fluff text.

So would I. I'd take the lack of answers as a 'no' to your question

Fleet upkeep. Should be dependent on resources invested rather than just the total number of ships. Maybe make hulls cost 4 (or any number you see fit) times as much for that purpose, to make chaff strategies less desirable.

How about, instead of making comsats harder to use, create several viable strategies that counter comsats? Some you can only use situationally, but between flak, interceptors, lots of cheap external slots (mini-asteroid swarm hull is perfect for this midgame, but there are others), minefields and s...

@Oberius: If you still find the Nerada OP with these changes, try this: change asteroid habitability to Adequate (from Good) ( optional ) comment out the VARIABLE_SHIP_STEALTH reference as explained above ( optional, but recommended if you want at least a 2-digits pop on your HW ) change the startin...

I did lots of changes to the Nerada lately: Habitability changed to: asteroids=good, everything else=hostile Can't terraform any longer (NO_TERRAFORM) Population changed from good (GOOD_POPULATION) to average (AVERAGE_POPULATION) Starts on a red star system, if generated orange or brighter (gives 18...

FreeOrion v0.4.8_2018-08-23.26f16b0 How to reproduce: 1. start a fresh FreeOrion instance 2. click "Single Player" 3. in the Balance pane, set "Tech Cost Scaling" to, e.g., 8 (4 times the default setting) 4. click "OK" to start the new game 5. add a few tech items to the research queue 6. generate a...

Maybe I found two lacking definition in the stringtable file (or I failed to copy them when I first made the modifications to add Nerada): BLD_COL_NERADA Nerada Colony BLD_COL_NERADA_DESC [[BLD_COL_PART_1]] [[species SP_NERADA]] colony. [[BLD_COL_PART_2]] Nerada colony [[BLD_COL_PART_3]]. My fault,...
