Yeah it's kind of a kick in the teeth for Morrigi, which is my preferred faction (ships so pretty) but it's just. So. Fiddly. I could probably put more work into it, but if it's just for my own enjoyment I'm not too pushed (and I hate playing against Zuul so I rarely put them in anyway). I looked around for existing notrade mods but nada. I thought there was a mod for that in the old sots1 thread.

Arglebargle III posted:How do feasibility studies work with the research slider? Do they take up research points? I've never seen one last more than a turn or two and I don't know if I'm completely wasting research budget during those turns. Pretty sure I've seen feasibility studies take more than one turn if I had funding real low.

IIRC carrier levs (off battle riders, requires levs) are good but shouldn't be used alone. Regular levs are more or less the same but not as good.

Neruz posted:I wonder who was in charge of the art department for SotS2, say what you like about how lovely the rest of the game is but the ship art is brilliant. Personally I think it looks a little too busy. They were paying for all those bump maps and wanted to put them to use I guess.

Hagop posted:Traps: Die, their are ways to beat them, but their never worth the cost or time give how randomly these go off. The tomb trap is fairly persistent and can give you a bunch of money, so researching Morrigi language to disarm it is not necessarily a bad idea.

In theory it'd be pretty easy to avoid most nodefucking as long as you're willing to agree to constraints like "all planets have at least two node connections" and "the graph is fully connected".

Splicer posted:I thought all planets in SotS1 had three node connections? The problem is bottlenecks, where you have one set of stars connected to the map by only one nodeline, so if either of the connecting planets is well defended you're basically hosed. I could swear I saw a few with one. Anyway bottlenecks are pretty bad because I'm not sure how you'd test for that in anything better than polynomial time.

DatonKallandor posted:Biome is a good point, but I'm afraid that AI colonization might bog down completely without it. I'd need people with the current version of the mod to check the AI in the early/mid game (turn 20-40) to see if and when they got the Biome Colonizer tech and if it's actually using them to colonize. Do that, and also add a " Blast Hurricane" missile that uses Pulse Phasers

I'm curious to see why anyone would buy a SotS land-wargame. Hex-based wargaming is fairly vibrant compared to 4X, and there are probably far more innovations there. Or is it an RTS? I'm actually not sure. That's even MORE crowded. In any case what does it offer that, say, Dragon Commander doesn't, besides the SotS universe?

Benagain posted:yeah light emitters are your fallback at that point. Ironically one thing in SotS2 that was really good is the interface for assigning weapons to different firing modes. So if you're screwed enough that you don't get PD OR Emitters you can throw down beamers and set them all to PD mode.
