Re: Could somebody smart come talk me through ship scale/tonnage please

I believe you are thinking too much about a water based navy ship and not fully considering what a 'space based 'navy' would look like. Water based battleships had to be big to support the weight of their weapons systems. If it were possible to put 16 inch guns on a destroyer, they would have. In sp...

Re: How to escort trading routes?

It would be a waste of fuel to escort freighters since they can only be attacked in a star system. I concur the defense ships in a system is the best solution.

Re: For the love of God do something about notifications

I'd settle for the 'same message' spam being eliminated. If I read and decline taking action on a message, I don't want it popping up again every <5 minutes. Why get messages for resources in AI owned space, that I can't exploit unless I attack them? Or worse, planets outside of my colonization rang...

Re: Anniversary Coupons

How do I find my anniversary date can't find it in my account section? Right on the thread under your user name: Joined: Mon Feb 14, 2005 7:19 am Nope Sorry late reply, but it may help others.

Re: Difference between "Raid" and "Attack"

Do they capture supplies on these raids (sort of like piracy) or just shoot an scoot?

Re: RAM usage

I'd like to see this game take advantage of my 128GB of RAM. I understand not everyone carries this amount, but it would be nice if the game (and others) did.

Re: Anniversary Coupons

I believe they use the Slitherine anniversary date, not the Matrix anniversary date. I'd get a 100% coupon if they used the Matrix join date! :D

Old Combat Mission games

I found my old Combat Mission game CD's (Beyond Overlord and Barbarossa to Berlin) and put the former in the DVD for the heck of it.Surprisingly it ran without issue or fiddling with settings on my Win 10, I9 box. I didn't expect it to. Maybe tomorrow I'll see if I have the same results with B2B.

You could always steal or capture their repair tech. The Ikkuro pacifist ideology might be too restrictive for some.

Re: Tankers and Fleet behavior

Currently ships can have only one order. And getting the "waiting for Tanker" order removes all other orders. So that only happens for ships on Auto or in a fleet I had a idea to fix it . But it will take some time to implement, if it is even feasible. That's unfortunate considering repai...

Re: Tankers and Fleet behavior

I've had fleets sit idle for many game years with an available tanker, and no ships were refueled. The moment the fleet stops, such as waiting to queue up for repairs or upgrades, the tankers should begin refueling IMO. I don't want to give the wrong info, so I'll have to watch it more closely and o...

Re: Which race will you play first?

I don't see how it could. Note that the DLC files will be mostly installed already - they are just toggled on or off based on what you own. Erik said on Discord that it is save game compatible, nothing will change in your saved games. If you want to see the new races as full empires and not indepen...

Tanker assigned to fleet. Cargo bone dry for years even after the fleet refuels.

Re: Tankers and Fleet behavior

Started a new game after the last update. Tankers assigned to the fleet have empty Caslon cargo and seem not to want to stock them. Their own fuel supply is fine.

Re: My Anniversary Coupons

But to confuse things more, I set up a purchase of a game I had no intention of buying and plugged in old coupon codes, and my 2017 coupon rang me up a 47% discount after 22, 21, 20, 19, and 18 were rejected as already having been used. I don't intend to use it, but it does appear that old unused c...
