I normally add 1 for non military ships and 4 for military but I was just wondering if there was a sweet spot

What would be the proper ratio?

<t> I wanted to know if resupply ships are better on their own or as part of a fleet. I started adding resupply ships to my fleet shortly after being able to build them hoping they would extend the range of my fleets but when I went to test this theory they never tried to refuel the ships that ...

Ok, just curious, I'm over 100 years into this game and not a peep, but I also started everything at prewarp levels so maybe that has something to do with it

Do the Shakturi show up in a sandbox style game?

<t> So I'm minding my own business, finally getting a game to go on consistently for some time now without starting over, when all of a sudden war breaks out EVERYWHERE practically everybody is at war, Seeing as I haven't played a game this far in is this part of the story line or has everyone gone ...

Is there a way to tweek MDPs so that if I agree to wone that doesn't automatically introduce me to all known empires and systems?

<t> My star bases will act as forward launch points so I have to keep them withing size restrictions, I also want to be able to repair, build and supply ships with them as well as be able to fend off most attacks or raids. There will usually be a fleet near by to provide back up so the defenses just ...

Just curious, because I was thinking of switching my point defense cannons on my bases with fighter bays if fighters can shoot down pods

I'm curious, besides point defense and area weapons, what can shoot down assult pods?

Thanks I'll check it out first chance I get

I was referring to the general star base not the more purpose driven ones

I believe they are required on general star bases

<t> I also didnt realize that MDPs reveal all known space and empires of the other party to you. was a little confused right after I signed an agreement with an empire and the entire galaxy was suddenly explored. Kinda takes all the fun out of it. It becomes much harder to savor the moment and now ...

<t> Personally I would have prefered if each race or atleast each racial type got its own tech tree instead of the three standard ones and you make technologies tradeable or atleast most of them, every racial group has their own mode of transportation, weapons and defenses, this would make the ...

<t> When I say lead ship I mean I usually select it as the command ship of the fleet and equip it wth fleet bonus items: fleet combat sensors and the likes. My destroyers are intended to do the highest amount of damage possible, heavier weapons, (I'm leaning more towards them carrying the gravity ...

Ah so that's what that grey circle is, I just thought that was a sensor range or maximum effective travel range

I didn't set the posture to attack because I didnt want my ships to just go off on their own attacking anything in site. Am I mistaken about this? I just don't want my fleets to go on the offensive attacking a less than friendly neighbor without me knowing about it.

I have that setting too, and I usually have my fleets set to defend the system or near by systems or even later on defend the sector

<t> I'm still kind of new at this game myself so I don't know. But from my understanding of it setting your fleet to defence should make your fleet defend its home base and anything within the range you set, while attack fleets go looking for trouble as soon as they detect it ( this is per the ...
