I know if it modified AP/DP it will take out the other ship that modified it no matter which class it is. But my question is, if a Destroyer attackes it head on 10/10 vs Evap. does the Evap win also or does the Destroyer just own it. I think I know the answer but reading the discription was confusing for me

Just a thought. Don't bit my head off. I"M DUMB

What if there could be a area in game on forums or someplace else that you could pick 1 of the 5 races, it gives you a list of all the ships in that race. You pick what ever fleet configuration you want without the WAIT and you fight it against fleet thats random of another race or something you could also control. WAIT READ MORE BEFORE BITTING MY HEAD OFF. You get an instant battle report of what would have happened. If you don't understand you could use the forums for help or the forums would already post that make believe battle. I think that would help with the card game also. The bad thing about this game which there arn't that many if any at all bad things is the WAIT. You log in and then you can only do so much and then you wait to tomorrow. I'm just saying if there is another area other then the guest account area that you could keep occupied by playing with different configurations. I think it would help new people learn the game and stick around longer. I OVIOUSLY AM NOT A SMART PERSON< BUT I LIKE THIS GAME. I just think that if you could see what you could do if you waited for all the research to happen after knowing what the ships do in battle it would make that wait more exciting for new DUMBER PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF to keep interested

i know im new but just a thought. a choice to delay departure of a fleet to new coards would really help people that cant be online all the time. it would help to plan your battles and such. new members might stay around longer if success was not so dependent on being online. say i had 2 fleets 5 hours away and one 1hour away. i want them to fight at the same time or close for backup. as a diesel mechanic i cant just put down my wrenches and log on to change positions. mu buddy gave up on st for the same reason. i think one step beyond that would be to make a fleet flight plan so you could set multiple coards for your fleet. just an idea. im sure im not the first person to think this.

It's taking some time getting used to the game again, but I'm a quick learner and promise not to be a liability.

Fun & Casual is my Game for the time being.

I have a website running now, so I will upload a specification I have written regarding improved battle reports. I will post the link here when it is uploaded.

I am not good enough at scripting to know if my ideas are possible, but I pretty sure they are a big improvement.

Hello I am trying to teach myself how to use Blender which is a 3D graphics modelling program I've installed on my new laptop now that I have a bit more now that I am only studying 2 days a week at university. I was wondering if I could perhaps make this benefitial to spacetrace and if there is anybody who might be interested in learning it with me on msn and perhaps we could design some space ship fights or something in time. The prgram is free to download on windows and linux and is capable of running on an average computer however you might need to install the python plugin. If anyones interested let me know.

Hey guys/gals... I know I've made alot of enemies on this site, but I just wanted to let you all know I'm doing ALOT better now... I've gone thru and still going thru counseling sessions and have moved... I'm working now as a manager at a local place and am now in a great relationship with someone who cares about me and my daughter... I believe that alot of the problems that I was having before stemmed from the current living situation I was in... I wanted to apologize to the spacetrace community, admin and everyone else involved about my actions from the past because this to me is a major step in my recovery... I know many probably won't accept this apology and I understand that because I did do alot wrong and broke everyone's trust, including Admin... I miss talking to you ALL outside of ST... I have learned alot from what I have done and plan to carry on what I have learned from this bad experiance to my future endevors when interacting with others... please take care and I wish you all the best...

Lilly out...

I was looking at the Statistics and saw that there are only 9 alliances. The starter alliances have 14 to 22 players in each. Wouldn't it grate if we had 5 or 6 more alliances of about 3 each from the starter alliances??? That would allow there to be more alliance wars and give players who are in the starter alliances and wish a start with a fresh alliance the ability to. They could then fight with people of there owe skill level and with scores that more closely resemble what they are capable of. I realize some might not feel comfortable leading an alliance and some are just to new to do so. But aren't the starter alliances there to so players can learn and later start or join a new alliances? I encourage all to start to ask to join alliances and to make new ones and recruit. (What is the point of a 1 man alliance?)

Congratulations to the Space rebels

Another fantastic win, that two in a row.

Sadly I will be leaving Space Trace now as things in the real world are taking up more of my time.

Perhaps I will return one day.

Anyway I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Just a few things -

- Access of Everybody and 'It' of the Travellers are in the leaderboard.

- The relative score system is up the creek - Dominion of The Travellers is in the lead yet his relative score is low. EDIT: Ok. I see. He should be respawned in fear of him reaching the hall of fame lol.

- There are so few players that the noob helpers are starting to outnumber the noobs. On my last count, 27 players are active. 27!!! Imagine if their were 27 people in our galaxy, what a lonely shithole it would appear to be.

- I think the manual should be called the 'Help Centre'. A manual is like a book, a tedious book that you would use to piece together wooden furniture.... A help centre is a point of discussion, an introduction into the brave new world of spacetrace.

I think if the player count drops below 10 it would be time to call it a day. There are roadkill which have seen more activity.
