i was playing around and looking at what to research and i decided i wanted to try colonizing. correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought that if you scan and find a pre-warp world, then send the colony star there then it automatically claims it for you and your alliance. yet i've tried it on around 7 different worlds and it won't colonize the world. any explanations on how to actually use this ship?

Well ive been lurking around and the forum is decreasing in activity as well as the game, i had fun when this game was all out war, i liked it because of how easy it was to get ships and research, but this game is becoming outdated by other newer games, the new spacegames like ogame are outdoing it with the number of things you can do there, for ST to start going again, i think you all will have to start advertising it like crazy, or the admin can add some new elements into the game, such as videos, different pictures, redo some of the colors, add some new ships, add some 3D space fights, etc, it has to get some new updated things, i know that its not as easy as click and go, but for this game to get going again it needs to start getting new things i think.

extra MP for defense fleet bug :: bug reports to be fixed

Author: colinthecorgi
Subject: extra MP for defense fleet bug
Posted: Thu May 21, 2009 11:16 am (GMT 1)
Topic Replies: 5

The alliance defense fleet thing has gone out of synch and seems to be buggy also.

It is over 50 hours until the flag will move, but a bunch of my ships went up in smoke. The amount of MP is incorrect also, as I now have a figure somewhere in between my normal amount and the extra 2500.

The intel station is still at my base, of course.

A similar thing happened when the flag moved to my base, with the difference that I recieved the extra defense MP much later.

The background is that one of our players evod, then rejoined. I think this messed up the algorithm.

All in all, if this is not fixed we will be forced to never move the flag, as the number of ships defending it otherwise will be completely random.

This isn't a suggestion just yet, because I wonder what other people think, but the concept goes like this.

Let's say I'm a mycilloid, and I go to a pre-warp planet, and find, say, a kamikaze.

Human technology that I can't research, or build, but can use, if I find it.

But every company that exists makes a practise of taking apart things to see how they are made, and maybe using the same techniques, or improving on them.

So shouldn't I have the ability to find a ship, take it back to my homeworld, and let my scientists and engineers take it apart, and figure it out?

If it were a kamikaze, like this example, it might use technologies and techniques my planet isn't used to using, but I could at least get the basics of it.

__________________________________________________________
Therefore:

I would like the ability to build ships I find. Maybe, if I find a ship, I would have to recycle it, and then I'd be able to research that ship, even if it's not from a race I normally can.

And maybe it would take longer to research, and build, and maybe cost more than it normally would, but some combos are great, apart from being impossible to build, due to race restrictions.

Also, this would put more weight behind exploration, and using the archaeology probes. More people would want to explore, and try to find certain ships, and alliances could be on the lookout for certain ships, if one member wanted them, to try something.

It seems like this is a neglected area of the game, because even if you find a ship that works well, there is usually only one of them, so your fleet won't get the best use out of it.

If you could make the ships you find, that would make this area more important.

Downside is that enemies would be even less predictable. Mycilloids usually don't have evaporators, and if they do, you know they don't have many. If they could make them, it would throw off some strategies pretty well. But you could do the same, so it might balance out.

And the people who did this wouldn't have too great an advantage over those who didn't, because of the extra costs involved. But it could make a difference, if used well. Just like everything else about this game.

Good? Bad? Would you want this? Not want?

Pirate Carrier Research :: Newbie Help

Greetings all you experts. I wanted to build a 1 man army ship and hoped to achieve it with reasearching the following.

What i expect it to do.

It spawns 5 hammers that dammage all cl 2 and 3 ships.
Then it spawns 5 spectres that dammage all cl 1 ships
Then there are some appolo cruisers and 100 missiles to harm whats left ofcl 3
And then in the CL 4 battle it blows up all dammage ships.
If the ship gets destroyed it heals itself to live another day.

Will the ship do that and will it work as intended?

Thanks in advance

the calculated manpower for this research is 2317.

if there are no more corrections needed
press 'request' to start the research

this would be the research:

pirate carrier (class 4 ship)
this massive ship seems to be an army on its own. its cloaking and warp technology make this monstrous beast an enemy to be rightfully feared as it launches mines and ships at its ennemy.
