Science Ships?
« on: September 09, 2012, 10:12:25 pm »
So we just hacked a planet for an ARS ship design, but we can't select a new ship to research. What does the hacker mean by science ship? I must be dense as I've never heard of that. I think.

Science ship: a science lab mkI or II, a k hacker, or an ARS. Once you capture the planet, use the ARS tab accessible from any of those to select the ship you want.
If warheads can't solve it, use more warheads.

*facepalm*. Yeah, I guess that would do it, wouldn't it. Thanks Faulty, much appreciated. :)

You're welcome.

I am still amazed how polite people are on this forum.

Pretty much. Unfortunately, it seems the bigger your community becomes, the less friendly it gets. I think its something about the mob mentality that causes it.

I can emulate the mob mentality if it would make you feel more at home.

A SCIENCE SHIP IS A SCIENCE SHIP YOU MORON *GEEZE*

We have an outbreak of normal forum behaviour. I repeat, normal forum behaviour. Quarantine is recommended, but there is only one way to be sure.

Small community AND because AI War is a kind of game that only attracts people with brain cells. Hard to imagine a COD Kid or a LoL Troll playing AI War. :o

Still debating whether I want to learn about why this "mid" is so important.

noob its best lane

mid lane is where you usually send a mage/ganker/semicarry. It will usually be a solo lane, meaning you gain a level advantage(and gold) over the rest of the map, and its position (in the middle of the map..) allows you to exert some control over the rest of the map.
