<t> How do I tell a fleet to attack a system as a whole using postures?<br/>
<br/>
It seems to me that no matter what posture range I set (target only, target and nearby, system) the fleet always attacks the primary target first and - once that is destroyed - sits in the enemy system doing nothing ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
If I have a fleet with eg an attack posture (eg it has a posture target and posture range set), what is the effect of the fleet engagement stance (the one that I can vary with the comma key)?<br/>
<br/>
It seems to me that these settings are contradictory. How can a fleet with ...

Hi,

Is there a way to find out how much energy a spaceport gets from its energy converters (taking into account its actual distance from the sun)?

If I already have a spaceport at a location where I want to build a resort base, does it make any practical difference if I create a separate resort base or add the same number of passenger, recreation and docking modules to the existing spaceport?

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
It seems to me that as long as I put at least 35% of cargo bays into a design, I can mark it as a construction ship and take advantage of the higher size limit for bases (690 instead of 230 in early game).<br/>
<br/>
For a decent military vessel that maxes out the size, this ...

<t> Apologies if this is a very naive question. I'm new to mods, but even lots of googling didn't help me with the following question:<br/>
<br/>
Could you describe in a bit more detail the changes that you made to the .exe file and - more importantly - how you did this? Did you disassemble ...

<r> I'd suggest to install the "Das Chrome UI" mod (<URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3616300"><LINK_TEXT text="tm.asp?m=3616300">http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3616300</LINK_TEXT></URL>). It doesn't change the gameplay at all, but replaces the resource icons so that ...

Hello,

Can someone tell me how the "prepare and attack" order differs from a plain "attack" order? How exactly do units prepare for an attack?

<t> You also need to turn on design automation in the empire policy, and check the "Prompt for Retrofit" option. Then you should get occasional prompts in response to completed research projects.<br/>

Beware though, even though the prompt will claim to be specific to a component ("We have ...

<r> Bummer. There really isn't anything happening for me, and I don't see anything I could still explore or any damaged ships. I've uploaded the savegame to <URL url="https://db.tt/fM8SXQNl">https://db.tt/fM8SXQNl</URL> in case anyone wants to take a look.<br/>

I guess I'll be reporting this ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Is there some better way to find pirate bases than to manually send explorers to all possible locations on the map?<br/>
<br/>
I've tried automating the explorers, but the just sit around and do nothing (presumably because the galaxy map is already fully explored).<br/>
<br ...

<r> There's nothing left, as far as I can tell. Everything has been either repaired or destroyed. I checked all the places with the pulsating circles on the map.<br/>

Hmm. I found a few unexplored ruins, but exploring them didn't change anything. I don't need to built colonies on every plane with ruins, or do I? Anything else I might be missing?

Will check on ruins, thanks Aeson!

Or could it be a problem that I destroyed the world destroyer ship? It was being repaired by someone else, and I sabotaged the construction.

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I am trying to assign troop loadouts for several ships. I have opened the "Ships and Bases" window, filtered for "Troop Carriers" and then selected the first three ships using Shift+Clock. When I then assign troop-loadouts (or even just disable troop loadouts), the changes ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I'm pretty far into my first game in the classic era. At the beginning, I've step by step uncovered more and more information about some ancient war against the Shakturi and how it has been resolved. However, it seems that now story-wise nothing is happening anymore. There don't ...

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
On my systems, fleets often show up as idle (i.e., I can select them with "i") even when they are automated and have a posture assigned. This does not seem to happen for individual ships, even if they don't have anything to do (e.g. automated explorers in a fully explored ...

Hi,

So I just conquered a new colony, but apparently it comes with pirate base on it as well.

Is there away to get rid of the pirate base?


Thanks!
