<r> Hi Scott,<br/>
I'm a newb myself + never ever played Harpoon before [:)] Hopefully the following can help though:
<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I could only see a portion of it being truncated<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> You have a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of this window so that you can read the ...

<t> Thx a lot for your replies, I appreciate.<br/>
Your all time favourite bombing technique is a killer, it will make my cmano life much easier from now on [:)]<br/>
I was aware of what you are explaining with the animation, but it still does not tell me what would be the appropriate launch ...

<t> Wow !!! I made a Triumph, 700 pts ! (of course, I cheated quite a bit, at least 4/5 reloads, but still...[;)])<br/>

Thx a lot! At least I understand it is not an easy scenario at all, to say the least... I'll try again but I'm really having a hard time, even "just" for air superiority... If I may ask, in your last attempt, how many fitters made it to the target?

<t> Hi all,<br/>
My first post here. Bought the game a couple of weeks ago. I am not at all an expert in military matters, EW, radars, missiles etc, and English is not my mothertongue, so... it's a bit of a challenge [:)]. I went through the tutorials, then started to have quite some fun with a ...

<r> @jerkface: funny how different people may interpret the same thing in two opposite ways: I have the exact same desired behaviour as you, but I set my fleets on manual, <B><s>[b]</s><U><s>[u]</s>defend<e>[/u]</e></U><e>[/b]</e></B>, system. You say: attack anyone that comes in, I say: defend ...

52. Paradox & Matrix fan. Big time.

<t> Jeeves: thanks a lot for your answer, advice and links, truly appreciated! Your formula helped me in understanding the economy at the beginning, and I had figured out that the scale factor was some hidden constant. I haven't read it yet but your strategy guide looks very very interesting, thanks ...

<t> @Spacecadet: thx for your answer. I have already experienced the feedback loop you mention, but now, no, I don't have any backlog in my ship building. You might however be right, it might very well be a resource issue. I am at war since some time now, and as I am very bad on the military side of ...

<t> Well, I can see that my freighters are going much further away than where the Loros is, to perform trade to very distant partners ... I have continued my game in the meantime, I now have a space port where the Loros is mined, another midway between the Loros planet and my main colony, and still ...

Will do, Data. Thx!

<r> Thanks a lot to you all, that really helps.<br/>
<br/>
@Spacecadet: no, I don't have a spaceport at the Loros planet, that's precisely where I am building one that takes forever [:)]. You are right, I checked the building speed, it is pretty low, but most importantly I have 0 silicon at this ...

<t> Still a beginner on this ( excellent ) game, and of course still having a lot of questions I would very much appreciate answers on:<br/>
<br/>
1) I have discovered a Loros fruit source in my current game and have been mining it for quite some time (I have actually colonized the planet where ...

Many thx Data, got it now.

<t> Thx Data.<br/>
<br/>
1) Yes, I have already read quite a number of threads on the topic and understand what you mean by speculation. But Jeeves' formula could be ok in my opinion, it is just that I don't understand what he meant by "scale factor". Maybe he can answer if he sees this post...<br ...

<t> I am totally new to the game. <br/>
<br/>
1) While I was trying to understand the economy, I found the following formula in one of Jeeves' posts:<br/>
Revenue for a colony = population * development level * (1- corruption % as a FRACTION) * (quality factor - 50) / scale factor.<br/>
<br ...

I'm impressed, many thx Telumar, for the answers, ...and your patience!

<r> The scenario is Market Garden, and B-2HCC is a recon unit.<br/>
<br/>
As for the orange arrows, yes they are always visible on the map. I usually start giving orders from the map, then I often open the planner and adjust / give orders from the planner too. This orange arrow issue is not a big ...

<r> And now quickly coming back on 2). I am not sure if it will be really visible, but please have a look on the herebelow screenshot of the combat planner. Both allied units (one south of target and the other south west) have been ordered to attack. On the unit south of target we can see the small ...

<r> Thanks a lot, it does helps.<br/>
<br/>
I will however come back on 1) with an example, because I'm afraid I was not clear enough. Have a look at the herebelow combat report:<br/>
<br/>
I have ordered an attack on location 27,37 with 2 units, the 2nd Irish/5GD and the 3rd Irish/5GD. A lot of ...
