1 spare berth for alien chicks the captain picks up ftw!

Psh, gonna need a few dozen at least. Kirk has a thing for them green babes.

Well, apparently I have no idea how to design a guided missile. Launched a bunch of these at a star swarm fleet, the initial salvo connected and destroyed their targets, but the rest of the missiles just flew over and sat there in place doing nothing.

Code: [Select]

Missile Size: 2 MSP  (0.1 HS)     Warhead: 5    Armour: 0     Manoeuvre Rating: 22
Speed: 25000 km/s    Endurance: 50 minutes   Range: 75.0m km
Active Sensor Strength: 0.54   Sensitivity Modifier: 140%
Resolution: 100    Maximum Range vs 5000 ton object (or larger): 750,000 km
Cost Per Missile: 2.9233
Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 550%   3k km/s 176%   5k km/s 110%   10k km/s 55%
Materials Required:    1.25x Tritanium   0.54x Uridium   1.2083x Gallicite   Fuel x625
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something extremely obvious here, but it seems that my missiles aren't acquiring new targets as enemy ships come into range. Hmm.

You're facing the starswarm? The resolution of the active sensor is set to 5,000 tons. I believe that it can still 'see' the 800 ton FAC the swarm uses, but the range to do so may be so short that they always move outside that range every 5 sec.

As a result of the mineral survey by the Morri Razan Geology Team, the accessibility of Neutronium on Mercury has increased from 1 to 1.

Thanks, guys.

Anyone else find the geology teams to be even more underwhelming than they used to be? This is the 10th planet they've surveyed, and the first one to actually get something. I don't know if it's just luck, or if Steve reduced the effect while he was changing them.

[Metalax]

It's not so much that they can't find as much but that you now only get new minerals added if the amount found by the team is greater than what is already there. This makes it much better to use survey teams on bodies that your survey ships did not detect any/more than one mineral on, and wait to survey mineral rich worlds until they are almost mined out.

Is there any way to set a player-controlled empire as an NPR? I'm trying to set up a War of the Worlds scenario and it would be convenient to be able to play a few years and then let the AI take over. I saw something about an option for that mentioned on the Aurora forums but not where the option is located, and my searches haven't turned up anything.

Also, while I'm here, what's the deal with the "Load ordnance from colony" order? Whenever I use it it just dumps all of my missiles. I've been manually setting missile stocks for each ship and I know there has to be a better way.

The load ordnance order picks up the ships default ammo load.  You set this from the design screen.  So if it has no default load then it's load order fills it with empty.

I'm afraid not. For an empire to be computer controlled, it has to be created as such, you can't turn a previously player controlled empire over to the computer. From what I recall when this came up at some point on the aurora forums Steve has said that there is some particular code that gets run on seting up a computer controlled NPR and that it would not work properly trying to run it on a pre-existing empire.

On the class design screen one of the tabs let's you set up the default ammo loadout for the class. If you then use the "load ordanance" commands it will attempt to load up with the specified missiles. If there are insufficient missiles to fill the ship, it will then try and load from other missiles in the series that the missile is part of, if it has been set as part of a missile series on the missile design screen. This lets you load up from stockpiles of older missiles if you manage to burn through your current design's stockpile during a conflict.

[Flying Dice]

Also note that when you set the default ordinance loadout for your initial OOB, the SMed ships will be created with missiles in their magazines.

I put magazines (but no launchers) on my carriers so they will have reloads for their FACs.  However, in the default ordnance load screen for the carriers, there are no missiles listed for me to choose from.  Any ideas what's going on?

[Metalax]

On the ordanance tab of the class design screen, select the "ignore size restriction" checkbox. You may need to get it to update by selecting another class and then back to your carrier.

[Shooer]

Or just throw the largest launcher on it and remove it, it remembers it had a launcher but not that it doesn't have one any more.
