Awesome. I'll check it out. Many thanks, redrum!!

<r> Hopefully this link works. First time I've shared a file here, rather than just an image! Thanks for your help. <br/>

<r> So, does reducing the logistics point demands to your outlying Zone Cities (e.g., by eliminating traffic jams or building railroads and railroad stations) reduce the logistical demands on your SHQ? Here's my bind:<br/>

<t> This mods looks awesome! I hope Vic incorporates it into the full-fledged game. Part of the difficulty I have sorting through my overloaded Stratagem hands late in the game has to do with the similarities of art work as I page back and forth between all the different cards I might play.<br ...

<t> You can't research a Tech until you discover it, can you? I've always gone 100% discovery at game start because, if I allocate points to research, they get wasted because I have no tech to research. Council roles like "Model Development" (Technician) that never get to play a stratagem also see a ...

<t> Recon, Artillery, and Tanks are the best bet, usually in that order (although sometimes Tanks present themselves before Artillery). Early in the game, I might do a Motorized Infantry Battalion if I want to do a lot of scouting close to roads, but the Fuel needs make it really hard for Trucks to ...

<t> Yes. I think food has to go to the local SHQ (if you're using more than one) before it can be sent back out to units. I don't believe that sending resources back to an SHQ consumes Logistics points, but don't quote me on that...<br/>

There are many much longer threads on logistics, but ...

So, "Defense" is really your attack when you're on defense, and "Attack" is really your attack when you're on offense? And the target type determines which of the two measures you use?

<t> If getting water is too difficult, start out on a planet with a little more naturally occurring water. Every planet type has its own challenges and opportunities, but buried in the manual is a section that talks about how much water you get simply from having access to a Sea hex, a lake hex, or ...

Yeah. I was getting that error on both of my saved games for both v1.05.00 and v1.05b16. Uninstalled the game, reinstalled to v1.05.00 and it loaded cleanly.

Two steps up, one step back. Such is the nature of game development! [:)]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>So, perhaps it was my own operator error, but somehow the 3rd Tutorial file got overwritten with a save game version of the 2nd Tutorial.

<t> This is a common issue that beginners struggle with. I know I have.<br/>

The most elegant solution I've found involves playing around with the "Obsolete" setting and not every letting the Advisors retrofit your ships. That sucks, but any time I tell the Advisors to retrofit for a certain ...

<r> Yeah, sbcfromnc, you generally want to set Energy Collector output equal to the base's "Static Energy Usage" (that's when the base isn't firing weapons, isn't recharging shields and when (if it was a ship) it's not moving (or maybe not moving above Cruise speed)). The base will burn fuel in very ...
