Come on SD, why isn't this fixed yet?

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="89" id="3553091"]I had to chime in here. Your exact example while technically valid is not really true. We have recently discovered that linking LOTS Of telescopes let us see farther, the VLA (Very large Array) is a great example. Also if you did have 5 Hubble scopes you would see farther and in better detail as you would be collecting 5x the light and getting FAR better resolution.[/quote] Yeah I'm aware, maybe not the best analogy, but I'm bettin

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="86" id="3553074"] I would be willing to bet that I am more amenable to reasonable compromise than the power players that are pushing for the nerf. The main point for leaving the game alone is that the sensors, as is, allow an option to build them or not while nerfing them removes an option, a

StarNamesText. This only contains stars names, and some names are spelled in a variety of ways. So there is no objective way of saying "THAT is a spelling error", as it could be intentional.

[quote who="Kordanor" reply="25" id="3551182"] Hrm, while I don't know it for a fact, I am extremely sure, that the battle-viewer is indeed just a representation of the results which are caltulated beforehand. You basically have the log, which you can see after the fight, or during the fight, but it's always there. However you could actually easily test it out in multiplayer. Because if the one player attacks the other, and then one player choses quick battl

Or do I submit a ticket?

[quote who="JorgenCAB" reply="84" id="3553040"] Yes there is... it is called diminishing return on the sensors. It still allow for decent range on sensors but not cracy strong sensors. They will still be sort of broken on the two smallest maps but still better than the current state. With a diminishing return you might get 10-15 range in a turn one sensor ship and a late one might be 100 range instead of 200-300 range. That are probably what we are fighting abou

Ok, I've read this whole thing. So we have two camps: One camp likes sensor boats because: - The AI cheats with map vision; we should have similar options. - On large maps a 40 range sensor boat doesn't reveal THAT much. - Lategame I wanna watch my borders. Did I forget anything? Other camp: - Early game, the value of 40ish vision is too great. - It kills early game exploration, you k

Thank you

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="21" id="3552273"] Turn 2, turn 10? What's the difference? [/quote] You won't have scouted that much by turn 10, without a sensor boat. And the difference is, that in the early game, every turn counts. Again, I repeat myself: By turn 2 you have completely invalidated the early game mechanic that is exploration - scouting for colonizable planets etc. Why? Why would the devs allow for this part of the game being skippe

Woops, double post.

BuckGodot, so I took the time to read that entire thing, but it seems like you didn't read mine, as I addressed some of this stuff in my previous post. I guess I can make a TLDR here: TLDR; At turn two, you can have a sensor boat out, that shows you: Planets, AI, Pirates and resources, in a wide radius. The value of the information is immense; much more than the cost of the sensor boat. GC3 wallhack basically.

The problem with strategies in computer games: When one is obviously superior to all others, then it becomes the norm - the thing you MUST do. (Yes I'm a min/max'er - who isn't these days) As Arumba reposted: [Quote]The issue with the sensor range is easily fixed once you look at what's going on. All parts provide a linear upgrade that stacks, sensor range is no exception to it. The thing is that the stat the player cares about isn't really sensor r
