Not so infinite resources - bug?

Submitted by p3 d on Mon, 2008-05-12 04:58. Space Empires V General

The infinite resources setting is supposed to prevent the decrease of mineral values. I was playing a 1.71 game with Balance mod, and built robo-miner bases on asteroid fields and uncolonizable planets. After a few turns I noticed that the relevant values for the mined planets decreased - but not for the asteroids. I guess it's a bug.

Hi to all.

Is it possible to combine the features of Devnull mod and Unnamed's upgraded AI functionality?

Thanks in advance for reply.

Plasma Missiles -- forward-firing-arc-only... intentional?

Submitted by Mifely on Mon, 2008-05-12 17:56. Space Empires V General

I've tested this a fair bit in BM v1.14 with SEV v1.77 -- plasma missiles appear to only be able to fire in the forward hemisphere of the firing vessel.

Is this intentional? Is this BM only, or in Stock as well? (I'm too lazy to test Stock at the moment)

Does it have anything to do with the AI settings of my shipset? (I'm using the Klingon shipset) With the strategy? (using the default maximize range strategy, with a few tweaks)

Anyone have any ideas?

This pretty much makes plasma missiles suck, except as defensive weapons on weapons platforms and bases... unless those objects also have a forward arc, and then they would *really* suck.

Chapter One: Operation: Drifting Storm
Stardate: 3016

Years ago, it had been prophesied by many that the new millennium would bring peace, understanding, and the seducement of battle fleets throughout the colonies. They were wrong. Within 5 years, diplomacy was failing between the isolationist Kusari and Rheinland and the more open Liberty and Bretonia. Within ten years, it was dead. Within 15, Fleets of both sides prowled the cosmos eradicating colonies and enemy fleets as pirate movements gained strength and billions of soldiers and civilians simply ceased to exist. All the while and ancient foe bided its time rebuilding and preparing for a new war.
