Cotal,
a. Use this nifty utility,  Link
Click AMM under Ships and Generate Graph.
b. Good point. Anti-Matter is a pre-req but Zero-grav Manufacturing isn't. Currently, it depends solely on possessing Dreadnought tech.
c. Exact same way to improve attack/defense for ships. Military resources, military tech, planetary shipyard improvements and military racial picks. Remember for shipyard improvements, it improves all ships produced from the planet, even those produced before the shipyard is built.
AMMs are an excellent and cheap deterance. In fact they were so good SD had to nerf their impact to military rating in one of the previous update.
Yes, leaving the United Planets stops all trade. It's tough but they had to balance the advantage of avoiding all UP penalties.
Whew, you sure can fire off those questions, can't you?

Oh yes,
Cirrhosis has volunteered to mantain a Fellowship chat area for all of us.
Would love the opportunity to chat with all of you. Unfortunately, I'm in a different time zone so don't get to catch you guys (and gal) most of the time.
Had a good chat with Gezz yesterday at 7am my time. 
Any of you interested in Cirrhosis' proposal?

| If based on deeds, you are ten feet tall. |

You flatter me.
| Sorry, H5O. I should know by now that it's never wise to poke a Hobbit who's holding a lit pipe. |
|
Better be careful, lest your love of the Hobbit's weed dull your mind. 
Cotal, welcome to the Fellowship, milady! I think Ray answered all your questions, save one. It is not necessary to build an Anti-matter Power Plant in order to build AMMs. They share the same name but have no other relationship.

| No nominations from any of you for the Altarian Star Awards? |
|
Sorry, my brain's fried from working ridiculous hours at work. When's the deadline again?

I would drop in from time to time, it's hard to synchronize times, though.
| |
|
Wow, we are back on top! We're not flashy, but we sure get the job done. Thanks to Cotal for gracing us with her presence and her points.
Incredible. I'm off to try and finish a game.
What does happen when the irresistible force (GROSS) meets the immovable object (FOTR)? Stay tuned...

The deadline for the ASA nominations is Sunday, 3 Aug, 2359 EST.
Is the deadline too short? Didn't want the whole process to be too draggy.
| |
|
Hard to say, it might take a little bit longer than 5 days to get momentum going on the project. If you don't receive a minimum number (5?) of nominations, might you consider pushing it back a week?
| |
|
We broke a million! Wow. Good work, folks.
Sorry I couldn't contribute... I'm burned out on GalCiv for a while. I think my score is even starting to decay. 
| |
|
|
|
Ok, if I don't get a minimum of 12 nominations, I'll push back the deadline.
No worries, Michael. Go do/play something else and get back to playing you are up to it.
Do try to participate in the forum though.

The Jedi Republic has their own channel so I do think it is possible, Cirrhosis.
Enjoy your vacation.
If you are able to, do contribute to the GCX:Beta3 Commentary thread that I've started.

| Anyone know yet how big the scoring change is for the highest levels? |
|
Too early to tell. EBZ just posted another of his Beginner Smalls for about the same points so lower levels are probably unaffected. I will play a Maso Tiny once I upgrade and revert.
| |
|
|
|
What can I do with a higher level?
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Ok. I can't access IRC now at work. Both of us can be channel admins.
If you need me to get online, I would be available from 0700-1200 EST or 1900-2359 today. Weekend is fine for me as well.
What time is good for you?

The Probability field in the text files is not implemented- it has no effect.
It's just the RNG at work, unfortunately.
| |
|
|
|
Sure, Cirrhosis. I'll see you in chat this weekend.
