I think making things more difficult on yourself on purpose does not make fore a more enjoyable game.I wish the game had Multilayer so that real hardships can be experienced <E>:)</E><br/>

if by using game setup to ...

<t> i don't really feel they are gamey or exploits, especially for combatting pirates, cuz you still need to get ships there to really totally repel pirates.<br/>
<br/>
i usually play normal pirates average distance and they do enough harm to my stations w/o weapons that i don't think arming them ...

that's cool but do you guys feel this is an exploit or have you seen ai empires arming their mining stations as well or what?

<t> really? <br/>
<br/>
so "Roles" don't matter?<br/>
<br/>
seems like an exploit or do the ai empires take advantage of this too?<br/>
<br/>
also, are the space ports and gas mining stations and colonies the only place ships can or will refuel? cuz looking at designs the only difference ...

<t> i know you can technically design any ship or base with anything on it, but does it get used?<br/>
<br/>
if i put weapons on mining stations would they use them or does the role override the design and not use weapons?<br/>
<br/>
basically would a starbase mine resources like a station or ...

<t> are you sure about that? <br/>
<br/>
the same i was playing on epic quick start when i asked this question i had only explored around 15 sectors and had run into 7 pirate factions who almost wiped me out all by themselves.<br/>
<br/>
i quick started a new epic game this morning and have ...

i have a question about the quick starts.

if i select epic a bunch will it randomize everything but star quantity and research everytime or are the other options (pirates, creatures, colony prevelance, etc) always the same each time also?

<t> so the mining ships go to space ports but then the frieghters deliver the resources to the constructors that are in the middle of building the station?<br/>
<br/>
i looked into designing stations and when i choose "mining station" as role, some requirements are command center, commerce center ...

so mining ships will take polymer directly to build sites or construction ships and not just space ports and colonies?

<t> playing ROTS version 1508 still and just noticed something. <br/>
<br/>
when you get a race whose native planet doesn't have polymer than it can hamper early game before you find some. im not saying this is a bug but is actually a pretty cool little detail. you might have tons of cash but with ...

<t> one more thing im noticing and i just want to make sure if it's WAD or not.<br/>
<br/>
i started a game as the dayhut who like desert planets and their homeworld is desert but it's still making me research desert colonization for new colonies. is this the way it's supposed to be? you can't ...

i just said it wasn't a bug right when you just posted. i did have another question in that post. take a look please.

Ah.. gotcha. What you ...

i just said it wasn't a bug right when you just posted. i did have another question in that post. take a look please.

<t> You're right. although 2 years in game time later that idle passenger ship out in the middle of nowhere finally got his arse in gear and started ferrying tourists from the home and only planet at the time to the 2 resort bases that were in the same system as that planet. lol. lazy bastard<br ...

<t> Ok, now i just did a another start new game and it gave me humans. it's making me research marshy swap colonization and till then it's not letting me colonize a sweet marshy swamp planet i just found. is that right?<br/>
<br/>
also, i built 2 resort bases in my home systems on resort locations ...

<t> It's ROTS, i can't quite afford legends just yet. <br/>
<br/>
so i went back into that saved game with the acks and researched enhanced construction and within a day or 2 of gametime after it was completed the private sector was building 7 passenger ships. so the size was too big i guess for ...

no imports or mods or anything. just those 2 races at game start have an extra 9 size.

ive had the game almost a week ROTs version 1508. no edits mods or anything.

garrett

<t> I figured it out, it isn't racial. i went to the ship designs for those 2 at the startup as compared to humans and noticed the ai designed passenger ships for humans was only 226 but the other 2 were 235 and my tech only allowed ships up to size 230 to be built at the time. i just have to ...

<t> i just went through the start new game with all races and the kiadians apparently don't start with the passenger ships either. i have not played very long with these two races. maybe 3-5 years at a time so do they build passenger ships later on or what? how do passenger ships work with the 2 ...
