With a fleet of 97 of those you could swoop in and suck the atmosphere off an NPR's planet in minutes.

Too bad Venus doesn't have a 'vapor' hydrosphere, no second Earth. :(

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Wondering if I have an actual bug or if I'm just doing something stupid.

That's the sign of an abusive boyfriend, Toony... you don't have to listen to him.

I don't think its a bug, its just a smaller packet, add more mines Eduren! the amount the mass drivers can take is way more than what they are currently mining!

Edit; I don't know where I got the idea that there was 6 mass drivers but one mass driver can still take much more.

Yes but even if there's only a little they should go ahead and send it. I have mass drivers firing 20-30 ton packets sometimes without incident.

Depending on the timings involved, try advancing time by 5 seconds. You should now be able to see the mineral packet in flight to wherever you are sending it.

My only complaint is you made it like an AAR on the wiki.

why didnt you just call it Ship Design Examples? without the empire info etc?

Probably alot more useful for a new player to see those designs if they knew what the page was about..

Uh, the page is directly connected to the Ships section of the wiki (right next to Steve's and Erik's), and the AAR-ish passages are meant to show how the vessels were used and, if applicable, show flaws discovered when they were put into practice.

I think he meant including empire details like name, current game year, etc which are entirely irrelevant to ship design theory.

There is a ship design section for the tutorial which actually explains how to build the ships.

Game year gives an idea of the level of technology a player could have by then, and is also a measure to check if the page is being updated. As for the empire's name, well... Erik did it, so I did it myself! :P

It's right there on the main page.
