I've actually figured this out: if you check the clicky-box for "Only show movies if both sides are fleets" that overrides the "always show movies" setting. (Not that I checked the box; it defaults to being checked and I didn't uncheck it.) Problem solved!

The best thing about Master of Orion (the original) was ship design + tactical combat. You actually get to [i]use[/i] the designs that you've created, to fly into combat the lethal cocktail -- or fizzling dud -- that you've concocted. Then the AI comes out with a counter and you design something better. But you only have 5 (or is it 6?) design slots, so you'd better make your new design count. You can actually have a [i]doctrine[/i], a specific role for which you d
In the "Apocalypse" scenario the Drengin and Yor are at war with the Alliance while it's the Alliance's job to deal with the Dreadlords. I enjoyed that scenario so much I'm going to write it up in a separate thread. :)
I have an "extra" colony ship left over from the gold rush phase of my current game. I parked it in orbit around my least-populous planet and that transferred the colonists to it. Good so far. Now I want to reconfigure the colony ship into a constructor. To do that it looks like I have to launch the colony ship -- but I'm not allowed to launch it if there are no colonists on board. Does a colonist have to "take one for the team" and sac
Strangely enough when I started the next scenario of the campaign I started getting movies. It may also be that when you change the settings to always show movies that doesn't take effect until the next session.
I have created fleets and used them but I still don't get a movie. The only thing that seems to decide it is who initiates the attack. Even if it's just a duel between two ships I get to watch the movie if I'm the one being attacked. If I attack either ships orbiting a planet or a ship in space with a fleet I don't get a movie. I haven't had the opportunity yet to attack a fleet. Does a movie get generated every
How do I get my movie when I attack enemy ships during my turn? When enemy ships attack me I get a movie. So far I can't find any way to either get a movie when I attack nor does there seem to be anyplace on the interface to get a replay of the movie. I'm sure it's possible, I'm just missing how do to it. No doubt after a few games I'll turn the movies off, but for now I want to see everything play out.
