It sounds like you're saying projectile speed doesn't increase combat range. I am not sure where I said something that suggested it. Terra Invicta more than most games has a logical counter to missiles; PDs of various forms (laser, autocannon, counter missile). So it seems given the other aspects o...

my understanding is an unguided projectile is launched to where you will be at the point of impact on your current course. So to dodge the projectile you need to adjust after it's launched. Yes, you are right your CURRENT course is taken under consideration but you understand it as if your planned ...

The fact you can have both is potentially problematic. This is probably why it's already addressed in 0.4 versions. Anyways the tediousness comes from the need to constantly make course changes if you want to "dodge" unguided weapons fire. Which means constant pausing and adjustments thro...

Fact 1 and 2, means its easier to command high armor ships versus highly maneuverable ones. Except, in 0.3 versions you can have both a high armor and highly maneuverable ship at the same time. If by high armor you just mean ships that don't maneuver substantially then yes, it is easier to command ...

I agree with you generally that despite substantial improvements AI is still far from being decent in regards to strategical and tactical layers. However, with some details I don't agree and your frustrations from p. 4, 5 and 6 probably come mostly from being in space too late - destroy alien survei...

Sorry, I haven't been able to get this to work (this was with 2.5 g ships; I'm up to 3.2 g with my latest designs). The aliens consistently reacted at the 4-minute mark, which gave me a maximum separation of 1500 km. Your ships have too low acceleration for being good at achieving the separation. H...

I've been having trouble executing these fast-pass missile attacks in my current game. [...] With missiles you will usually achieve much tighter swarms when launched after you stopped accelerating - torpedoes should be launched during acceleration. If your targets are nimble and without PD (eg. ali...

I forgot to mention one important observation (realized it here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1176470/discussions/0/4340977379955520670/?ctp=2#c4340977379964048576): the way Detain is currently handled (AI factions often aggressively fire their detained councilors, even before the next assignment ...

They don't pursue you immediately so you can easily build enough gap and you don't even need much DV for that - 2km/s for moving away is plenty.

IIRC, Violet Laser of Gunship doesn't even have the range of 1000km. Anyway, your missile boats have to be light and they have fast turning rates thanks to it so after the period of acceleration you should immediately turn your back to laser ships, launch missiles and accelerate away. Try not to sho...

Don't you see that it is being updated? Eg. there are clearly changes marked from 0.3.106, aren't they? I agree that it would be nice if at least all DONE from now on had game versions indicated with them.

The alien weakness with missiles/torps i think is that they do not coordinate fire. Or have too few missile boats. It's not just that - the key factor in missile combat is to launch at high enough relative velocity to destroy (or at least heavily damage) enemy with what you have while the launching...

For the sake of gathering them in one place I present here screenshots showing different examples of maneuvering combat from 0.3.109 Skirmish and from my recent 0.3.109-120 campaign. They will probably be outdated with coming 0.4 versions and actually examples done before 0.3.112 are already slightl...

Surveillance missions, alien investigation, and ofc assassination (of aliens and servants) remain the ultimate remedy. Going to space early and destroying alien surveillance ships can buy you a lot of time with that and you don't even have to waste your councilors actions on surveillance missions w...

By transferring to your ship in an Earth or Lunar orbit.

List of changes I would greatly welcome (AI changes not included here): - ALT and SHIFT during combat should also work on enemy waypoints, own and enemy ships, enemy missiles and projectiles (currently they work only on own waypoints which is not enough) - a way of showing relative velocity to targe...

Additional info: - to p.11: Key factor of this idea of hab development is to not waste resources/space on hab own defenses and use fleets for their protection as even counting MC modules it's still a better choice - even if hab own defenses were cheaper and more effective in combat I would still cho...

This game was not supposed to be played as I strongly suspected TI still far from being ready for my way of playing it - I started it only to see current Solar System and techtree. However, when I started it I also tried the option of getting Influence instead of Councilors (it's the only non-standa...

Surely it's NOT nm - it's NOT the wavelength but the aperture. It's clearly labeled, isn't it?

I would even go further: valid refit names should also be possible to edit because eg. a player might not like the current naming convention. Ideally, if there is a number at the end of the name I would suggest a valid refit name should automatically change just the number for the next one (but stil...

You can quite easily have better combat acceleration than the Aliens already with the Advanced Pulsar Drive and missile Escorts but DV might be a problem then so it might be better to seem just weaker than them as they would feel inclined to attack you.

Perhaps it will be helpful: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1176470/ ... 7970196741

Unless you in the meantime updated the game to a different version it looks like a bug so I would suggest you to report it with saves before and after the issue (the best ones would probably be just before and just after).

There are always Nations you can wreck for the cash No, there aren't when you have eg. -5800 cash per day in the late game because you develop so fast in space that you can't provide enough Boost on Earth to maintain space infrastructure needed to pay for itself. You can see results of such a devel...

I agree, selling them is usually pointless, now. On the other hand it greatly elevates importance of Boost in later game, which is nice.
