I think a minefield applies all damage to one ship(or unit/unit group) at a time until it runs out of mines or the ship is destroyed.

I don't recall if special damage types cause mines to react dif ...

Those glass shields never worked right for me.

Unless larger mines are cheaper to build than smaller ones, or the number of mines per sector is set very low, then I tend to agree that larger mines aren't too useful.

I think the best way to make ...

One thing I did in making Skymod was streamline the process of retrofit building. I removed the % of original design restriction, increased the cost of adding components via retrofit, and put a greate ...

It's because of a bug. Emissive amounts will stack on units, which means you can design an invulnerable unit. This can crash the game.

I think Ekolis developed a fix for emissive armor on units, bu ...

I noticed something weird about it last week. Before that it was fine.

Does anyone know how to contact Fyron and let him know?

A PM should do it. I think you can also email him at admin (at) s ...

It's possible that the score is taking population and facility tonnage to get that figure.

The function does work. This is how I made a one per empire facility in Skymod:
Requirement 3 Description := There is a limit of one Capitol per empire.
Requirement 3 Formu ...

You don't need to contact the original creator, but it can't hurt to try to contact him/her first. Most mod authors probably don't mind if you use their mods as a base for your own.

13. Quantum reactors are sold, but they are pretty rare.

According to the wiki, no. But it would work on a weapon platform.

I don't know of any way to stop tech sharing via treaty. Theoretically you could script the AI so it would not offer or accept a tech sharing treaty.

Alliances are an unimplemented feature. They do ...

The abilities page on the wiki is a good place to start. I've never encountered any errors there.

The tiny mount list is one of the most horrible UI decisions ever. Even putting it in a separate window like SE4 was better.

Oh, that's interesting - units actually have shields? I thought shield points just added to HP... Does shield regeneration work on units? What about emissive armor?

I've long suspected that shield ...

You could play simultaneous instead of turn-based. Ships move during turn processing, so you don't have to sit through your ships moving at the beginning of your turn.

Golden Eclipse Beta & Patch downloads are also broken...

I think they might have been removed by the author. He removed all of his graphics, too.

EDIT: Dark UI Mod: http://forum.shrapnelga ...

System conditions improvement plants aren't affected by planet-based condition penalties. I don't know about Adamant, but in CB that makes the penalties rather useless. There's not much reason to mess ...

Not sure if there are any SE5 mods that make mineral miners affect happiness or conditions, but an old SE4 mod called Adamant does this.

It should be noted that conditions can't be reduced in SE4 o ...

It plays ok, a bit slower than se4, but there are still a lot of unimplemented features.

So... What I'm hearing is that leveling up bothers you...? Wink

No, it's altering the size of vehicles that is annoying, since they must now be redesigned. With units it can also break automated c ...

I also eliminated the "levels" for Mines. There are the same three sizes but now the "cloak" level of the mines is received automatically and is applied to all existing mines.

I tried a similar fe ...

I don't generally use most of the design types in PvP games because enemies can see your design type. The addition of more generic types in addition to special ones would be nice. Hull (Type1) etc.

Thanks for the update!

That one sounds interesting. I should probably check out the other SE4 scenarios for ideas, too.
