Re: New Characters Play Test #2

An error message in the order list. I enter in the building orders using the codes, and it accepts them fine. However, when I submit the orders, I get a pop-up telling me that there was a problem with some of my orders. I will get an error for any order in which I tried to build more ships than half...

Re: New Characters Play Test #2

Yeah, I noticed that the order executed. I'm not sure what I am doing, but I get the error every time I set a build order (I have also been getting it in eating5a). I have it four times this turn in spread5f. Those orders were the last ones I set, and I didn't remove any afterwards. The number it te...

Re: New Characters Play Test #2

I am playing the arms dealer in spread5f. I tried building ships for the first time this turn. I entered the order "F38B5P". The fleet F38 contained 5 ships and 10 metal. When I submitted my orders, I was told that there was an error with the order, and that only 2 ships would be built. Th...

Floors3d

I am playing the Skip Tracer in floors3d. I have been keeping careful track of what planets I have visited, and I am fairly certain that there are 5 planets that I have visited (multiple times) but never received points for. I'm not terribly concerned about being given the points, but I wanted to le...

Commandeer

For the Raider's commandeer ability to work, does the raider have to have strictly more than 3 times as many ships as the opponent, or should exactly 3 times as many do the job?

Re: Home fleets, Defense, combat.

Fair enough. I am still unconvinced in this case, but it doesn't really matter. It is what it is.

Re: Home fleets, Defense, combat.

The comments you are referring to accuse the other players in this game of colluding, against the spirit of a no-communication game. Of course, I have no way to verify or dispute those charges, but I hope the player is mistaken. I know you can't really do anything about it, but just for the record,...

Re: Home fleets, Defense, combat.

I am definitely not speaking with any of the other two players, but I'm also pretty sure that I am not one of the players that he is referring to. I probed the planet that Akhenaton is talking about (I am pretty certain), and it does look a little suspicious. *shrug* But who knows.

Re: Home fleets, Defense, combat.

Since industry3p is a no-communication game, all of the world numbers and fleet numbers are scrambled up for each player. So willypete's W311 is not the same world as your W311. This index-scrambling is intended to help keep honest people honest and reduce the temptation to cheat the no-communicati...

Where da games?

Is it just me, or have all of the games dried up? A couple of months ago, my client game list had about 8 games, most of which were pretty active. Now, despite signing up for every new game to appear in the last few months, I only have four once-a-week games going on. Also, I notice that none of the...

Scavenge and Salvage

I was looking through the advanced game settings and saw a couple of setting that I didn't understand. I don't have any idea what effect "ScavengeRatio" has. I think I vaguely understand "DestroyedShipsSalvageRatio". Assuming it is set to 1 for my race, and I fire on an enemy fle...

Re: industry3p

I was having the same problem today with two other games: predicts3g and pursued6g.

You can safely delete a game from the client list. Since the game is still active, it will added back to the list the next time you download your games.

Re: Home fleets, Defense, combat.

Now in having the same issues in industry3p. Must be something I am doing. I think your I-Fleets are just afraid to fire at me. ;) Are those the actual commands and world/fleet numbers? The reason I ask is because: The game is on turn 46. The last time W311 was owned was on turn 42. On that turn, I...

Re: Population Limit

Perhaps I am misunderstanding something. Several times I have migrated people to one of these planets, with a fleet above the planet. When the next turn comes, the population has all died off and the planet remains unowned. I don't understand how I can get the people to do anything before they die o...
