[quote]Hope this helps[/quote] You bet it helps nuckchorris! Thanks! And thank you HunterADA for the economic advice. I am going to try out all this great advice in a new game and see if anything you people told me actually stuck in my head or if I have to come back and make another newbie post. :) Thanks again.
Thank you all for the great advice. I usually leave my sliders on 33% of everything with 34% research. I can't usually get my spending to 100% until way late in the game. Should I focus on researching research first and then concentrating on weapons? I will try to rush to all the local planets and colonize them first.
[quote]Have you checked your opponents' civilization-wide weapons rating? That may be what's giving them the huge boost, especially if they have a few Military Resource Mining Stations around.[/quote] Thanks for the response FFLN. How do I do that? I did notice that the Korath battleship that showed up had 7 'nightmare torpedo's +25 missile' on board but since that only adds up to 175 the race bonus's and the military resource they were mining brought the rating up to 192
Thanks for the response Piznit! I play on 'Bright' level and I've done 1 and 2 ( obviously not well enough though! lol ). But the A.I. still seems to run away from me in weapons category. Is that all they research? I research defenses too, but by the time I have medium class hulls and 4 levels of miniaturizations to put my first Harpoon missile on with like 10 points of shields the A.I. will show up on my doorstep with a fleet of Battleships with like 130 points of lasers each or some o
I must be missing something important because the A.I. always has more powerful weapons ratings then I do. Even on smaller hulls like fighters they have more weapons crammed on them then I ever can. I seem to keep up with the A.I in almost every category but when it comes to building ships they outclass me by so much that it's useless to fight them. What techs do I need to research to put together a powerful ship?
