WTF moments
« on: March 11, 2012, 10:07:11 am »
i'm playing a 4 home commands station game with 7/7 random 120 planets world.
I have captured 74 planets so far.
I'm attacking a ai home commands station now and i was going "WTF" after i saw something i hadn't thought of.

74 planets captured?

Is there anything left for you to unlock?  :P

I've never gotten anywhere close to that in my games, although I play 80 planet maps.

What ever for? Look at his resources....

Needs to have a full 20 space docks, as well as 10 merc docks pumping out ships 24-7, or something like that.

Because it's inefficient. As soon as he fights anything worthy or needs to move a defensive position, you can produce that much faster. I recognize that he has full resources, it's not the point.

34 HKs you weren't expecting can be quite interesting, yes ;)  "Welcome to our homeworld, human!  Translating our word for it, you may call it 'Pain Town'." ;)

On the resources thing, I wonder how much resource flow you _can_ use with max space docks, and max I/II/III engineers.  Of course, that does leave out mercs, starships, and of course building all turrets ever all at once since those are parallel instead of serial.  But just curious about the basic fleet ship production.

Is it just me, or do the hunter/killers look a bit too small size-wise in relation to their firepower?

You can't turn them off specifically, but you can turn off all the various events that can cause them to spawn. They will not spawn normally, the AI reserves them for special circumstances.

Heh, same.  I remember the first time I saw them in a screen shot, I kept looking all over for the Hunter/Killer and couldn't find it :) .
