Suggestions / Battle Entry Positioning

« on: April 02, 2013, 07:28:21 PM »

I don't know how this is going to be affected by the new mechanics being introduced in .6 but I'm having issues with ships running into each other when they're first deployed onto the map. This is especially prominent in the mods (it might not happen in vanilla gameplay I'm not sure to be honest) but the ships being somewhat close together combined with the AI instantly triggering certain abilities (Blackrock Drive's Burst Maneuvering Jets) means I keep taking damage from ships running into each other. I don't expect you to change the AI based on behavior from a mod, but I was curious if anyone had had this come up in vanilla and if there is any solution other than sending out ships in clumps rather than all at once

General Discussion / Marines

« on: March 24, 2013, 08:40:36 PM »

Did someone nerf the marines? or is there somewhere where mods can change how many marines per crew? I thought it was just an even two but my 18 marines can't handle 30 crew on a blackrock nevermore. Did this get changed? Is there somewhere where mods can change it? Just curious, thanks!

Suggestions / Convoys carry empty ships

« on: February 26, 2013, 11:07:08 PM »

I just was thinking about the convoys and how they bring ships to the stations but if you're intercepting convoys you'll never get ships. What're everyone's opinions on having convoys carry ships with no crew so they can be captured after the battle? What if we put a higher chance of sabotage on these ships so its not abuse-able? Just something I've been kicking around for a bit and wanted to hear other's opinions on.

General Discussion / Changing save game location

« on: February 07, 2013, 08:07:14 AM »

Is there any way to change it? I play this on multiple computers and I would like to somehow automatically save and load from the shared folder so that I can play one save across both computers. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

General Discussion / Any way to reliably (or even just more often) capture a ship?

« on: June 05, 2012, 04:07:19 PM »

I've got a lone paragon that I'm trying to capture. its a 16% health and I can kill it easy. But I WANT IT so bad lol. I managed to get a save a second before I engage it so I'm reloading after every battle. I've only had one time it was boardable but it still had a full crew compliment and I only have 110 marines. Any suggestions on how to increase my chances of boarding while decreasing their crew level? Or how I cheat and mod the paragon into my fleet after the battle because I'm bored of scumming lol

Bug Reports & Support / Easiest way to make a lot of money

« on: April 04, 2012, 09:54:30 PM »

It's simple, really. Start new game, go to station, sell ship. Press okay. Now respawned with new ship, new crew, same money because no credit loss from losing a battle. Repeat until you can buy whatever you want. Admittedly this might not be huge amounts of money, but still it seems like an exploit that isn't meant to be

basically there is nothing preventing you from selling your last/only ship and respawning, with no negative penalty involved

Bug Reports & Support / Escaping doesn't work

« on: February 26, 2012, 03:12:46 PM »

I'm running around with a decent fleet and a bigger fleet appears and we engage. I look at them and go "Oh boy, too big." I click LEAVE and it says opposing fleet maneuvers to prevent withdrawal. Ok, thats fine. It then gives me three choices: All Out Attack, Hold Position, Break Through Enemy Lines and Escape. I choose Break and Escape. It says "The opposing fleet assumes a defensive formation. The enemy's defensive formation allows you to avoid battle." Excellent, so I can leave? Nope. The only option for me to click is "Leave" which then loops back to Opposing fleet maneuvers to prevent your withdrawal. Infinite loop of "No you can't leave, You're cut off. Run thru their lines. They back off. You can leave! No you can't leave"
