Hi!
I have two questions, if you have time, please, answere these!
1. There are elections in the parlament time to time with circa 10 political parties (industrialists, democratics etc.). So, I belong to only one party, and I must keep it on being in power, it' clear. But do my gameplay, my actions, my ruling impact the distribution of the votes, and vice versa, can I expect any influence of the strengths of the parties from the last election in the following times (for example more or less morale or any change in any other aspects of the game, because there are a lot of democratics in the parlament, however I'm industrialist)? Or this is computed only randomly by deciding how my governance is actually working?
2. There are three weapon types (beam, missile, gun, and accordingly three shild types, shield, point, armor). Is there any real differences between these, (for example gun is good against small ships, beam is strong to break metal shields but it has a big loading times etc.), or these are equals, so the game provides three way to develop same weapons with different names in essence, and during a combat we are playing card games with three independent decks? Or how works the weapon system, what is the key to plan the military researching?
Thank you for your responses.
Regards
