As for version, see screenie I've sent a shield+4 ship to destroy a Dyson Forest, but this has produced several Floaters, which happen to have +4 shields versus my MassDriver3 equipped ships (3*Att+5) so I do practically just 1 damage per combat round against the Floaters. These Floaters (there were...

In your screenshot, your ship departs from its current (supplied) location at no fuel cost, and then uses up its last fuel at Prace Beta, arriving at Prace Alpha with zero fuel. which would mean that a ship that is within supplyline isn't refueled - but I can guarantee you that is will be the case....

godel, the new system of how to establish colonies at planets actually takes away some micromanagment, so you should really upgrade to the latest build. as of now, you can produce outpost ships beforeahead (irrelevant of what species is producing these), using them to establish an outpost, and then ...

actually all weapons are justified in some context, however it depends on your games setup if something is falling out. for example, in a huge game with over 50 systems per AI you will have enough time to build up sufficient research & production before getting in contact with the AI empires. in...

The refilling is only shown 1 turn past the actual refilling. For example in this screenshot the Scout just entered the supply line but it is already able to fly 3 clicks away although the ships fuel is shown as only 1. It took me quite a while to realize that this is how the game works. Before that...

the line shows:
"JG Warship MK.II (Human) JG Warship MK.II"

what's the point in showing the "JG Warship MK.II" two times?

If you'd only show it for 1 time then you could still use the full name and retain all visibility in the first screenshot....

I love domesticating them, but they appear rather sparsely. Is it possible to influence this when starting a new game? Perhaps Monster setting or Specials?

but what precisely is the function of this seed? for example, if I start two games, one with 100 systemcount, the other with 200... but both with the same seed (just 5), is then some part of the map the same or... ??

In other 4x games by looking at in-game statistics it's usually enough to have 50% to max 70% military of the strongest AI to be able to attack, in FO this is not the case... there is mostly one or few choke points (a star) between the AI's and my empire where the AI and me will stack our units, th...

Most advances are more powerful then the ones before, but laser is less than Mass driver 4. It is true for all the weapon tiers that Weapon 4 of tier X will be stronger than Weapon 1 of tier X+1 (and I think generally weapon 2 of tier X+1 also). This is intended to make for more interesting decisio...

hmm a game with only 14 systems should be easy to win premature.

anyway, I just realized you could manually write a seed (I did always click on the dice); could there be problems when doing it manually?

Rushstorming the enemy or natives seems to be one of the most effective things to do in practically all phases of the game. I'd like to see that nerfed in some way in order to emphasize an initial colonization over warfare. Invasion is just too easy. Personally, I tend to create setups where this is...

when hostile planets show more max population than better types it is most likely because of the tech "cyborgs". personally, I find that rather awkward and wonder, if the maxpop might possibly go down after a single terraforming step (?)

Damage Control. But still, wouldn't I get at least a message that ship/fleet xyz has been taken away HP by mines? Even if they are instantly repaired... If there's no combat in a system, which won't happen if the scouts or troop ships are set on passive, then basic, fleet field and advanced damage ...

I'm sorry if I did give out false information but I don't see this in my games. I've just reloaded some savegames, researched mines and let the AI park onto my worlds, but these mines don't seem to do anything...? Actually, I was led to believe that this is because of shields, but as I see it now th...
