Re: Never retreat!
I agree with SmilingSpecter. Also, in my recent battles, I manually attack a planet that has missile defense, space station, 3 combat ships (1 huge, 2 small) and 10 transports. The enemy transports just sit there waiting to be slaughtered and my transports run away, even though I had the superior fl...

Re: Diplomacy complains 3: Map
I like these ideas. Also, an alternative is shared systems could (instead of being just white), they could constantly change colors (in case that is easier to code) according to who owns planets there. If you do the changing color thing, don't make it flash more than about once every 2 seconds, or i...

Suggestion: Alphabetize the techs lists
Sometimes I get a message like "major breakthrough in Polychromatics" (OK, I'm making up that name, but you get the idea). Then I think to myself, what the heck does Polychromatics do? So I look for it in the research page, only I don't even know which list it might be in. It is a frustrat...

Re: What is use of boarding enemy ships?
Do you gain technology when you board a ship or do you just gain the ship? If you gain the ship, does it count toward command points? This area of the game is rather confusing. The tutorial probably said, but that was a long time ago. And if you can't disable the enemy's engines till lasers are rese...

Re: Newbie Combat
The more I play the game, the more it is growing on me. I'm getting past some early bad impressions (like the pirate page). I really like the avatar for the Tanktiks. It took me a while to realize the shoulder pet is not a pet. Very cool. I also like how you have non-humanoid races. One thing I'd li...

Re: Newbie Combat
This isn't particularly relevant, but since you brought it up.... In space, mass is what matters, not weight. And moving 1 rectangle in one turn should require less energy than moving 40 rectangles in one turn, assuming you are starting from a dead stop, because you don't need to attain the same spe...

Re: Newbie Combat
When it is my turn to move, it shows an egg-shaped cloud of positions I can take up. Frequently in this fight against the grave robbers (I don't have a lot of combat experience to compare it to), if I change my position by 2 or 3 spots (if I move like 5% of the way across the egg-shaped cloud), my t...

Newbie Combat
So in the really easy battles, I can move way far away, then fire my laser. Now I'm fighting Grave Robbers, and I have as good or better techs than them, but they're out playing me. Now if I move even a tiny bit, I can't shoot. In fact, sometimes when I move, I not only don't get to shoot, but I get...
