Re: Could this be the last year for AFC site?

I am sorry to hear that you have lost your passion, but after so many years at the helm it was bound to happen. Life and priorities change and we need to follow what it is that makes life worth living. I have been absent for some time as I am now with Keen Software House managing their 44 public ser...

I want to create a game where you can focus on exploration and research, building famous named fleets without worrying about combat. Basically I want to relax while playing. The ...

Re: Communications grid UDM3

You need to keep in mind that the AI will be sending cash to your minors, so eventually they may turn them. You can use intel to help prevent this buy checking to see which empire knows your minor and targeting them with General Intel. This can cause a "diplomatic blunder" between a minor ...

Re: Uncivil wars 2.0 development

HI TC

If you are still working on this, I would suggest strong shields with low recharge and limited weapons, this will make combat more tactical and last longer.

Vanilla always felt like everyone shoots then the dust settled and we had a winner.

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v1, coming soon!

I loved the original Ultimate Mod when it cam out, so UM5 has some very big shoes to fill.
Saying that, there have been some very good mods from so very talented people over the years which we should not forget.

Re: Communications grid UDM3

There was actually a bug with this feature, the Comms Grid made it easier to bribe a minor as it increased the maximum amount of cash you could send them.

The best way is to keep you members is to max out their love before they join and to keep their morale as high as possible.

When a vessel is set to a tech level 11 or above, the ship is able to be used from tech level 1, but will not show up in the build list. Example 1: You are tech level 1. You use a savegame editor to change your scout to a Heavy Cruiser (Tech 7 needed) when you load the game, it crashes. Example 2: A...

Cheers Jig,

I assume that there is a code which tells trek.exe which line to look at for attitude..... would it therefore be possible to have several minors using the same line?

Do all minors need special structures?
