Hey Aldarians better surrounder the booze before I come and take it away from you. (Typical pirate talk) using the multigalactic translator means: Give me the booze and we will give you some shining pieces of glass and some iron chains from the MWC flea market stand in Miami.

| I doubt the new ships will affect my games since usually the biggest thing I ever build are Dreadnaughts. |

Lately I've been a late game missile builder. In fact I just played a game which used my "Blockbuster" missile that appears at Overlord Tech (AT 150 DF 1 Cost 900 maint 3). I've yet to use it because I either didn't get to Overlord tech before I was able to win or didn't finish building one before game ended. I think I'm going to work on a missile that appears with avatar or ranger tech.
| Then played the first campaign. Pretty cool stuff |
|
The campaign is fun first time through but with fixed goals and maps, once you win it has little replay value. Once more campaigns/scenarios are developed, the fun should really begin.

| Congratulations Admiral Bromoser! |
|
Thanx!!
| I suppose I should submit some games and drag myself back into the top 25 |
|
Well I'm "slowly" working my way up the rankings to try to join you. Right now 40K+ games are only netting me `5K in the metaverse. The only reason I'm still playing at my current pace is that I'm using various combos of mine and other people's mods.

We just past 1.7M as an empire!! Not too bad for one of the smaller membership empires.

Good luck!! I saw your message in the bug thread about "no minors". In case you miss my reply there, you need to toggle ON the minors before you begin a new game since the campaign mode toggles them OFF when you leave the campaign. The game is MUCH harder without the minors to trade techs with early on.

Let me see: the stat for AAM are:
AT : 100
DF :1
Cost 300
Maint 1
So you have 3 AMM for at combined attack of 300 for 1 "blockbuster missile" with an attack of 150 for the same price and same maintenance. Not sure if it is a good exchange.
If I only want military rating, I will go for AMM since they have the better attack/maintenance ratio.
And I looked at the various ships that could be threat:
Dreadnought: ATT 12, DEF 8, HP 50, cost 550, maint 18
Overlord: ATT 20, DEF 12, HP 120 cost 1800, maint 25
Excalibur: ATT 80, DEF 20, HP 300 cost 3000, maint 40
the stardock simulator give on average:
1 AMM to destroy a Dread
3 AMM to destroy an overlord
8 AMM to destroy an excalibur
1 "block buster" to destroy a Dread
3 "block buster" to destroy an overlord
5 "block buster" to destroy an excalibur
I don't see any advantage. for the blockbuster over the AMM. Now, if the block buster have 200 AT, we have:
1 to destroy a Dread
3 to destroy an overlord
4 to destroy an excalibur
And with 300 AT:
1 to destroy a Dread
1 to destroy an overlord
3 to destroy an excalibur
in this case, the cost to destroy an excalibur with AMM or missile with 300 At are the same.

All good points. The "blockbuster" was mostly a test mod to see how GalCivwriter works. I already deleted it. I'm mostly toying with mine and other people's improvements and techs right now. So far I think these actually give the game more variety than most ship techs.

ECHO ECHo ECho Echo echo!!!

|
| and congratulations to Bromoser on becoming the highest scoring Aldarian |
|
Well I may be the leader in empire points but you are THE LEADER where it counts, namely in heart and spirit.
Next stop for the Aldarians: 1.8M and beyond!!!

|
| I think I am going to blast them to see what the point difference is |
|
If you can manage to crush the last three, it will gain you `10K MPTS at maso, medium.

| Oops. Left Cultural victory on |
|
Been there! Done that!!
I always check the defaults , especially the minor on/off toggle button, every time I start a game. Those extra thirty seconds spent can really save a lot of hassle later on.
I see that you got another game in and won a "conquest victory" placing you back in the top 25! 
I hope to someday join you in top 25. Right now it feels like I'm climbing a greased slope.
