i did email the logic factory about a year ago, got a reply they were finishing some other game first.. but they promised me to advice me when they start testing it.

So far didnt heard anything.. to bad i love beta testing

Yes this is a very good game!

Now, there is 1 type of shield that uses NO power, but is very weak. So you add like half your ships full of these !! --> result --> nobody can kill you ships anymore becuase yr shield is to strong !

PROBLEM: this cheap shield is too weak for use agaisnt some weapons. This shield consumes no energy to be active but to contain damage it use energy and by having to bad stats as shield it would deplet your power or fail to contain damage. So when building a ship, use better shields and more power units. k:

Or use big engines and loads of power to stay out of range.

not true, i used this tactic over and over again, i never run out of energy or power and the shields never fail even against the strongest weapons, ill just started playing again, as soon as i can build enomrous ships again ill send a screenshot of how the vessel layout should look like.
Trust me this works

Suppose it does work, the game AI is so lousy that even with a hostile environment the computers barely blinked at me. You crush them easily. The computer ignores the Xeno ruins so finding a few of those puts you miles in front of the computer. The computer doesn't retrofit it's ships either, so if you disarm them, but don't destroy them, you can run around killing all the colonies at will.

Great game, great graphics, but the lousy AI and the micromangement make it painful to play sometimes, in my opinion.

Have you looked and seen if there are any already available tools to do so?

[laiocfar]

Well, in facts, even with the bettered AI, u don´t need shields or be out of range....
