>>2509224i never went that far. usually played small to medium size maps. that and the randomy tech tree usually gave me a lower tech limit on missiles or bombs.
>>2509224>>2509407>dem names doeCurrent fleet as it stands now; getting ready to scrap both the venerable Pioneer mk IV & Fighters... contemplating what two new ship types to build.
One of my more prosperous colonies, which happened to successfully rebel long ago (but after I'd fully built it up); it's been left entirely to its own governance & authority ever since, with a token spaceforce present (the stargate is, of course, under my control). Considering the assumedly thriving black market, mercenaries, pirates, criminals & aliens present, this makes an ideal location for me to gather & sell off as scrap the last 101 old fighters in the fleet... secondhand frigates, they'll be seen in service across the galaxy....>thanks for reading
>>2510187Tryna decide between the last two; which small ship class should I keep: classic multi-role Fighter or Interceptor dedicated missile-boat?Dreadnoughts are also getting scrapped because they're obsolete & redundant thanks to -Darkstars-.>after scrapping those two (or more?) unfavored classes, what would (You) design for now ship classes?
>>2510187Beta Ceti....>Note the apparent proximity between Tau Ceti & Beta Ceti from Sol's perspective (offscreen beyond the top left corner of the screen where all of the New Construction Reolocation warp lanes converge).
>>2509407other more boring screenshot. i really love death spores. don't understand why they're heavier than fusion bombs. anyways, very useful in games where the virus antidotes never show up for research. why ruin perfectly good buildings on enemy systems, when you can just genocide the population while keeping the buildings intact?
>>2511552made me get back to my old sakkra impossible game on a med map. or maybe it was large i forgot. it's impossible . meet the other aliens in early and they kept declaring war on me out of nowhere. then spam large ships or hundreds of bombers at me. wtf. i hardly colonised 3 systems and they're already cheating like hell.started another medium impossible map. enemy computer players. again meet most of them early game. but this time with human bonus, i easily get non-agression pact and trade deals with them. but they kept breaking off contact,probably 'cause they kept attacking each other and lost planets. then they randomly declare war on me even when i had good relations with almost all of them. except klacks, they somehow got only 1 system and broke off contact soon after meeting them.even when NOT at war, the silicoids just casually flew up to my home planet(defended with bases and ships) and dropped death spores on me! we have a non-aggression pact and 100 creds+ trade deal wtf!!! at the diplomacy, they just kept being friendly with me as if nothing happened. no war declared. i swear im gonna just start a simple/easy game and just genocide the rocks ASAP. this fucking game cheats too much.
>>2513386>4 enemy computer players.
>>2513386>at the diplomacy screen, they just kept being friendly with me as if nothing happened.
holy fuck faggot have you won the game yet?
>>2513634who me? nope.they bombed me to death down to my last system, then finally left me alone. then that last system's sun went supernova on me from some shitty random event. fricking game gave me at least 4 bad random events even though i had the 2nd least number of colonies.but hey i survived the supernova, tried to "transplant" my survivors and ships back to my home planet, which my frenemies somehow left empty after they deathspored it AND bombed it to death. but as soon as i re-colonised it , the crazy bears declared war on me again and totally overwhelmed me with level 9 weapons and stuff. then i finally gave up. started a new game, simple mode as a human, small map, and 4 computer players. let's see if they will try me bomb me to death even faster this time. not really sure if simple mode really makes them less aggressive. i remember they still cheat with absurd number of ships even in early game. so far, i found Orion right next to my home planet on a blue star. that's unexpected and useless in early game.
