Hmmmm - interesting. As a besotted Terran Worshipper at Painful level - I've always had to protect the peace by prepping for war. Usually building a Fleet Reserve with fighting ships and transports en masse, especially if fighting another opponent. Currently, I'm winning against the Krynn - even devoted me entire empire to the war effort and sure enough - those bloody Drengin"s just declared war and sortee'd their entire fleet against my semi protected sweet tender portions o

Thanks Highwater. Being raised up by besotted Trekkers, i dig Terran action and try to be all enlightened and good, yet i need ev advantage i can score. So i play fast and loose during the exploration/exploitation phase and then straighten up. Tho, I've been thinking a lot about Starship Troopers Federal style
Methinks it's a random event. This is terrible I know, yet if the event does me wrong - i go back n load auto save to get a diff event
Hey Y"all - does anydobby else like rack up production, cash, unilaterally end bug wars and take starship bonuses from exploiting planets in an wicked way and then when you score the choice for ethical alignment - go good?
Whale, just had a funny Dread Lord event happen to moi as the Terrans. Holding me own (barely) against the Krynn, Drengin and Korx when the “Woe to all” blurb pops up and sure enough – the Dread Lords magically appeared a parsec away from Earth. My very 1st Normandy class troop ship (toting 2000 combat cats) was just constructed the same turn and easily reached the Dread Lords to invade. The 20 Dread Lord troops defending put up one heck of a fight – shooting all that
@Echelion - I have a Federation too with Constitution, Ambassador, Galaxy, Sovereign classes amongst others like Royal Navy's Admiral Class - Hood, Rodney and Invincible class - Inflexible, Indomitable, Indefatigable and a Bellerophon class including Dreadnaught of course. Also created me own Audacious class with Bold, Courageous and Daring. I tried to build a Romulan War
Ok ok, just have to ask. Any one else name their ship classes and sister ships after Trek canon? Or Royal Navy/US Navy?
They may have - all 3 had armor and shields too - low ratings like 3 and 4
Jawohl! All i had the 1st time was a freighter sweetly orbiting awaiting orders to begin a trade route. The Yor Xport moved in for the kill. I re took the planet and purchased a defender type ship (like an attack of 1 rating and zero defense) Then 2 armed Yor xports attacked - one dying with me defender whilst the survivor re took the planet. I'd never seen anything like and i've been playing DA since it came out. Tough level with max AI setting
[quote who="LTjim" reply="17" id="3269584"]Although the AI does indeed sometimes put weapons on a transport, I can never recall an invasion of a planet by armed transports. Never.[/quote] Well, the Yor just did it like 3 times in a series of battles for a planet where our borders collide
1 strat that serves well - only in the early days - are cargo ships w/1 each best sensors/life support, all the engines that can fit with 1 small weapon. These cats can raise pure heck among enemies - annihilating transports, constructors, colony ships (spore ships), asteroid mine camps and defenseless Starbases. When several are used, your enemy will scream for peace in double quick time
First off, thank you very much for the attention to detail, timeliness and care you professionally bring to the game. This web site is the main reason I paid $40 bucks for the game - I saw how in depth the customer service is and I was convinced to get in it. Also, the fix you rec'ded worked like a charm. Thanks for the help. Ya'll ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You!! I'll give it a shot.
