RE: How does prospecting works?

<t> I have tried mainly limos class, medium size, partial FOW and whatever the generator gives me (favouring mountains, just not to be in a sea of dust) For some reason all scavenging points have appeared really far from my cities, but I assume that it's the sadorandomizer at work. I understand that ...

How does prospecting works?

<t> I have been in several planets (with varied planetologies) which had not any deposits of rare metals, oil or metal (except the initial one) no matter how many BP I shovel into prospecting. My adviser tells me that they expect no deposits will be found, no matter how much territory I incorporate ...

RE: Resupply ships - how to keep track of them

One quick solution would be to append the class of the ship at the beginning of the name of each ship. This way you can sort them in any ship list. The game does this automatically for escorts, Frigates and destroyers, and I do it manually to the rest of the ships.

I need to get rid of a planet

<t> I have invaded a pirate planet in the middle of the territory of one of my allies, pretending to gift it to then as soon as possible. But I have just discovered that there is no gift planet option, and now I have a colony in the other side of the galaxy, surrounded by other empire.<br/>

RE: Couple design questions

<t> 2) Everything can be used as a refuel point as long it has fuel in its storage bays (not sure about fuel cells) and docking bays. This means that they will refuel at a gas station if ordered to. In fact I just designed a military ad hoc tanker which works differently that a Resupply ship. I have ...

RE: General construction shortages

<t> Well seems that the save in which I had the problems had been overwritten, and can't check the numbers. In a previous pre-shortages save, I have 5 colonies, 7 constructors, 2 shipyards (one is a captured one with no real use, right now) 12 mines and 9 gas mines. I have one of every strategic ...

General construction shortages

<t> I need to know what I'm doing wrong. I have begun a pair of games and things seem to develop in a similar manner. First I begin developing my homeworld and my system's mines. Usually I try to colonize early if a suitable planet is in my system. Once I install warp drives, I begin to search for ...

RE: an old question concerning military ship names i never asked..

<r> By default, all Escorts, Frigates and Destroyers share their design name and a sequential number. The rest of the ships have a random name.<br/>
<br/>
What I would like is that all ships had their names made like escorts, FFs and DDs but with the random name added at the end. This is because I ...
