Re: Aliens destroying Protectorate orbital habs

As a test, I built a new station in the Low Earth Orbit 2, at an Orbital size ... and before it was even finished it was destroyed. All it had was the Orbital core and two solar panels. As a test, I just built Platforms at all available orbital distances. The aliens proceeded to destroy all of them....

Re: Protectorate Issue

I just did a Full Search of the Tech Tree from the Research and Development menu ... and you need Arrival Culture, Networked Global Defense, and Trans-Interface Warfare as requirements for the Sentinel Complex faction project (so research those three, then research this one, then build it I guess?)

Aliens destroying Protectorate orbital habs

I'm playing as the Protectorate and I've gotten to the end game (so I've developed 'Coexistence Pact'). Immediately an alien vessel was reported heading towards one of my orbitals ... then destroyed it. They then proceeded to do the same to the rest. How can I build, let alone use the Sentinels to u...

Re: Frustrated unification - Poland into Eurasian Union stymied suddenly

This appears to be another example of the UI not telling us the information we want to know on the screen that we think we should be able to see it on. More specifically, it's not telling us the specific reason why this or that can or cannot happen ... or why this or that is going in the direction t...

Re: Aggresive Exodus

I haven't had a specific problem with Exodus being overly aggressive, but they might be focusing on their priority ... on a meta level, they shouldn't care about the Earth, their goal is to get off of it as quickly as possible, so they should be going after nations with high Boost or the nations wit...

Re: Federations / unification requires clarity

You misunderstood. The point was that you unify them a few at a time. You even said it yourself: you can't be everywhere at once. Hence, isn't the logical conclusion to unite a few (~2) at a time? Specifically, those you are not actively uniting, you should not worry about losing control over. (In ...

Re: Federations / unification requires clarity

First it takes a long time to get together (22 nations?) and if another faction happens to completely control one before you do, they'll likely first drop the alliance with the other EU nations and then leave the Federation, which adds YEARS to the time needed to get them back in the fold (on top o...

Re: [Tweek/Fix] Don't end tactical combat until weapons have struck their targets

It should be relatively straightforward for the system to recognize that there are objects 'still in motion' and run the clock until all that remains are 'controlled' units (that is, under the control of an agent, either the player or the AI). (I've not gotten to the point where I can actually have ...

Re: Ship guide?

For most drives you have to have at least 10 Propellant Tanks, often considerably more, to bring the Delta V up to at least 5 (ideally 10 for anything outside of the Earth-Moon system). I'm at 2032, and the basic Autodesign for a Gunship Transport gives me 31 Propellant tanks on a x6 VASIMR Drive .....

Re: Take a scalpel to this game

The cheapest possible escort with the cheapest possible parts would take *almost a decade's worth* of Boost to complete (~380 or so, my current boost/month is +3.3). And then 90 days to "assemble" or whatever. I can't be alone in seeing this is wrong, right? This is the game's unspoken wa...

There are special powers in the game that affect politics on Earth. They have to be earned by the AI, and they do get used sometimes.

Re: Ships keeps defecting to the Protectorate

What I suspect is happening is that that particular opponent (in this case the Protectorate) has a guy on orbit who is using the Control Space Asset mission (I think that's what it's called). It's a relatively rare? mission ability and it can be used against other assets like space stations or bases...

A nit that has been bugging me now that I'm past the tutorial and restarting often to see how the early game of different factions plays out, is the Objectives window and its associated popups.
