Keep in mind that basing access to the center on skill points makes gives Researchers an advantage, and it is already easier to win as a Researcher.

Keep in mind that basing access to the center on skill points makes gives Researchers an advantage, and it is already easier to win as a Researcher.
This is a fair point and one I acknowledge. My calculation of "max points" is potentially flawed, but I think it is the most likely calculation given the very limited, off-the-cuff mention of how to...
I won on Belitlli as a researcher and it is a combination of both.
For one, you have to beat any other researchers to the punch. Then you have to weigh stealth versus capping as fast as...
Score has no direct relationship to the victory conditions in the current game. Score looks to me to be most closely tied to how many planets a player controls, and thus it is likely Breender went...
Have you read the thread on skill points? I'd be happy if someone was able to come up with a counter-argument to my calculations and prove me wrong, but I do not think it is mathmatically possible...
This seems right and it was how I figured out starting locations for some players in galaxies I didn't have time to explore until late in the game.
Again, I don't think that specific techs have any bearing. What calculation are you using to conclude that you are at tech level 6? Take a look at my posts on page 2 of this thread. I do not...
Haha, Enforcer. I only set you to war on one occassion, which was when you sent battleships to some of my colonies near IF's territory. The glitch occurred at that time and my probes triggered your...
Well, I think it's a benign issue. Obviously a ship cannot attack from the sun, nor can my planet attack another. The little reticle icon is there and I can click. I get the popup and it tells me...
I found a fleet (one probe) in orbit around the planet's owner, and I could view it's information from the sun. I have still not found any non-fleeted ships idling around a planet, but I assume I...
Ok, I just tested it again, and the residual ability to see the planet's information appears to be just for a minute or two, possibly just during the time it takes for the probe to travel to the next...
I used only probes to test this.
My probes were able to fully scan all planets in a system when they were located at that systems sun. I was able to see harvesting routes, orbitals, and planetary...
I assume this is not yet patched on Nergal. I have a few probes in place, but see no difference yet. It still tells me I need a ship in orbit to view planet details even though I have a probe at...
One bit of knowledge that highlights the difficulty here (and the importance of targeting the tier 6 skills) is that if we focused only on tier 1 and tier 2 skills, after 60 days, we would have only...
Your suspicions are way too specifiic given what we know. There is no indication that any specific skill is required here.
I mean, we know the formula (I think), but we do not know how to...
Two other things bug-related:
1. As Tsagoth has noted above, the black holes are not being properly recorded on your victory progress in game, but should be counting towards your victory behind...
This thread has long needed some answers and I will try to provide what I can after winning as a researcher on Belitlli.
Solar Core Taps are ships (not orbitals, despite the stats showing in...
I'm considering playing one more and would probably participate depending on its start date. Belitlli was my first, so I'm not quite burned out on the current iteration of the game.
I've been waiting a week to comment on this because I did not want anyone on Belitlli to know I had reached tier 6, but tier 6 is NOT the ticket to gaining entry to the center of the universe. I...
Oh man, I have lots of things to post say now that it is over, but I'll have to do it later when I have more time. I apologize for ignoring your last message in game, Chickenhawk, but I couldn't...
It has been down for me for more than 3 hours now. I was able to log in briefly on one occassion, but things weren't working right and when I tried to relog, I couldn't get back in.
It's the same...
Are you sure you didn't start the research on it a while ago and then switched to something else before it was done. Keep in mind that if you queue only one thing for research and it finishes, it...
This has been my observation as well. The game will also generate each player's starting sector when they first log in as well. I had someone's home sector pop up near to mine (causing me some...
Thank you Tsagoth :)
I'm not sure exactly how long it has been down, but at least 6 or 7 hours as far as I can tell without trying to log in constantly. It was a significant number of hours yesterday as well (5+ I...
