So, I see this pirate hyperdrive research, but... it is actually a generator. Something be wrong with it?

Will it run reasonably well on (my/your/his/her/their) computer?
How much extra time will be [s]wasted[/s]spent on debugging graphical stuff, rather then debugging/working on the actual meat of the game?
Will it [s]limit[/s]impact the scope of the game?

Oh gods, not again.

Your voluntary bumping of this mod is reassuring citizen. The Trixie Collective sends its heartfelt regards.

<t> Alright, so I made a pony mod, it has been sitting around my harddrive for the past few weeks actually. Yes, I know there is another pony mod...<br/> <br/> Here is what be done in these here parts:<br/> <br/> 1. Humans, Kiadians and Securans have been replaced by ponies. Pegasus, Unicorn and (Ea...

How is your private sector doing financially? Do you have any freighters buzzing around? They should be ferrying the Caslon from the mining stations.

A solution may be to build a bunch of freighters yourself?

<t> Oh, forgot to add about glassing...<br/> You may have to glass the planet multiple times, if the quality is above 50%, it will get recolonized by the AI. Sometimes, there is a random event where you find a surviving population, but that is pretty rare... maybe.<br/> <br/> And yes, as far as I kn...

Armor does not seem to work as the Galactopedia indicates.
I used to put armor in 'spare' space, but now, I'd rather use that space for vectors or keep it light. Of course, still 1 piece of armor, at least.

The AI should account for that.

I want an option for 'sponsored' pirates... or more accurately, privateers. Build no troops on my planets with 'sponsored' pirates and/or do not automatically try to destroy pirate bases/fortresses/networks.

There would be more ships out there, just for salvaging. And of course, more space things to keep track of. Not sure if my computer can handle that on my current map size.(700 stars)

It is likely that some other empire can and will move in and settle the planet after it becomes uninhabited. If the planet is outside your territorial influence.

Glass it. Or keep it around, but perpetually high tax to limit/negative growth.

<t> I think the whole pirate base + ground defense things needs to be looked at. If pirate bases are 'working as intended'... as in right now, they are the planetary defenders in place of independent militia and empire troops, that needs to be made clear and the AI should account for that.<br/> <br/...

It should work that way, if that ship is in a fleet. Theoretically.

From what I understand, even multiple fleet admirals in the same ship/fleet stack. Or maybe I understand wrong.

<r> A very very blargh moment.<br/> <br/> I am currently playing Empire-Shadow mode. I let pirates build bases on my newly colonized planets. We bros, plus I'm being laissez faire with diplomacy. As long as they do not attack me. <br/> Here is the problem though... <B><s>[b]</s><U><s>[u]</s>my AI ke...

I would think adding more Weapons Plant, Energy Plant and HighTech Plant would increase construction speed. These things are what builds the components and seeing as how the space ports have multiples of them, they stack.

Throw in a Wonder with its +50% development... and your income goes up by double or some such.

Also, playing on Excellent homeworld really helps with income...
Securan/Excellent Homeworld/Any Gov't/Normal = Scrooge McDuck's money bin

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Canute<br/> <br/> I can't say anything about Shadow's yet, but at Legends you need to have dockingbay on a Const. ship.<br/> <br/> Yes the Const. ship fetch resources from a planet, but if the planet don't got all needed resources the constr. ship start building an...

<t> Considering it, it is probably better to compare normal tech instead of faction exclusive tech....<br/> <br/> Either way, armor does not even last one fifth the time of shields. Early game, Rail Guns focused ships are the master race, they consistently win fights against non-rail guns ships and ...

<t> Have you updated the game? The first issue should be fixed or at least I didn't see it become a problem unless it was some ship coming from 5 sectors away...<br/> <br/> @Protection Agreements<br/> I totally agree here. It may be a hold over from before shadows. After they hate you enough, despit...

<t> Is it intended for independent militia to side with enemy pirate raiders to attack a pirate base?<br/> <br/> Cause that is just what happened, I think. I had no way to click/see the battle while my pirate defenders were getting wiped out by both pirate raiders and independent militia.<br/> <br/>...

Maybe?
