Typos?

-Small DUC and other racial small weapons are using both ordnance and supplies. AFAIK, they should be using only ordnance.

- All PDW are no longer targeting troops. They doesn´t work in ground combat.

- Small ECM gives +5 evasion/lvl, but large ECM gives +4.

1) I don't really know in terms of gameplay, but it's somewhat realistic that any fighter weapon require energy to fire (they do in ships!).

2) This was done to make troops more useful than fighters in capturing planets.

Small Weapons are intended to use supply always and ordnance if appropriate.

BT is correct about PD targeting in ground combat.

Small ECM is typo-ish. Razz

For what it's worth Big G, I agree that ordnance is all most solid weapons should use. The amount of energy used varies greatly in the the real world from man-powered to battleship turrets; but as long as PD weapons get a free ride (those things are ammo hawgs, and suck a good bit of juice as well for radar targeting), the supply use by solid weapons makes no sense.

Not that we'll prevail...

Good to hear troops are safe from PD's now. The game still favors fighters in ground combat (they don't get stuck), but this helps.

I did have plans to space out the colonies more on the ground combat map, which would help out troops more. I'll try and squeeze that in for v1.10.

I thought Small DUC was going to be tweaked after my comments in "ABOUT SMALL DUC" thread. Check numbers, using fighters with small DUC supposes an insane drain of ordnance/supplies just to do small amounts of damage.

Didn't I boost the ordnance capacity on the Small DUC as per some of those suggestions?
