Defenses are very very good.. on Assault ships and Escorts. I tend to have one or two "soak" ships with nothing but defense and one single weapon.... Then a unholy ton of capitol ships with nothing but weapons. Generally the capitol ships kill the enemy before my defensive ships run out of defense. as defenses regen fully between battles, I replace far fewer ships with this strat.

I've never played any of the Star Control Games... I was 12 when SCII came out... and by the time I was into computer games MOOII, Diablo, MechWarrior II were the games I found... and then in college SMAC and Gal Civ 1 and 2 etc... So it was before my time. However from reading these forums and the UQM forums... 1. Replayability (to have people this ridiculously passionate about a game nearly 30 years

[quote who="Elestan" reply="562" id="3711838"] Right...that was my point. The UQM project can't engage in commerce, because (aside from any trademark issues) its license terms prohibit it.

I've spent the past few days reading through the posts over there and a lot of people are of the mindset that the game without the original aliens just isn't even worth playing. A large number fear that with StarDock having the trademarks the UQM will eventually be shut down either when SD sells out, or when Brad retires and the next guy comes along etc etc etc etc... Part of me wants to point out that Atari technically could have shut down UQM

Reply to Oh Durantium, Where Forth Art Thou? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

There have been other threads on this.... When you turn everything to abundant you won't get what you expect. The Game engine can only support X many static objects. if you set Everything to Abundant the game tends to roll over some of the settings to rare, or even none... You are likely seeing a lack of durantium specifically because you have everything set to abundant. Turn the things you don't want as much of to rare or uncommon
