I just wanted to make sure there is nothing in the registry and searched for the DW entries. It seems that there is no information hidden ...

<r> Hi Buio,<br/>
<br/>
I checked both. Unfortunately the "defaultOptions" file is not in a very nice readable state - can't see from it what the part ".GameOptions�^@^@^@^S_SoundEffectsVolume^L_MusicVolume^T_MainViewScrollS" is telling me on the music settings now. =/<br/>
And it should have ...

<r> Ok, I am stucked with this bug for a while now not paying attention to it, but the day has come where I finally want the music to be played.<br/>
<br/>
No matter how much I pester the volume setting of the music - there is no music played at all.<br/>

To the history of this bug:<br ...

<r> I just had a nice fight with some legendary pirates which nicely shows why I prefer close combat tactic settings for my ships:<br/>

<t> I'm not running at max tech. I am looking forward to it.<br/>
If of interest I can state how I handle things in mid game, too, or make a let's play of it. Just if I am looking at optimized designes you need somewhere to start and hence I was looking to the target and how to get there / what is ...

Some questions for those who design the perfect ships.

Rule no. 1 - there is no perfect ship design. Maybe just optimized (& specialized) ones [:)]. Last but not least the fighting situation will need ...

I am a newbie. I am also a fighter freak from following Star Wars and the Homeworld games. So I put Fighter Bays on everything possible save for Troop Transports(Which are semi-sacrificial; as long as they get the troops down, I don't care if they die ...

I don't design much, and spend my abusive power in micro management of combat (when needed). There are only so much effort you can spend before the game is lost to boredom, so I leave designs alone...

You specify 5 repair components and mix it in with "armour rating" without bothering to specify the difference in ...

Hm, they're interesting figures for the engines. The Starburners are better than I thought. You have partly convinced me but I still have a couple of reservations. [;)] Firstly, fuel, the Starburners need more which means more fuel ...

An example of an alternate philosophy which might be worth trying sometime is to have faster ships than your enemy, outrange them and then set your orders to stand off. (Try this out on early pirate bases which can be destroyed by missiles ...

Nice post Limulus. Thanks for sharing your design ideas. [:)]<br/>

<r> It's interesting that there are so much tips for economic designs. I never bothered so much for economy, since I usually have no lack of ressources in my games. I just ensure that private ships are fast (hyper and sub light).<br/>
However, lot of things are worthy to consider and test in my ...
