AI War / Re: So admit it...

I checked out the game, and it was pretty awesome, reminds me of overlord on the NES.

I honestly like the human cruiser, of course that's the only ship I'm able to build......

Ok last time I was active in these forums, x4000 was wrapping up Zenith Remnants, more recently, Children of Nienzel(how do you say it?) came out. What's this about Light of the Spire?

I have to admit, AI War has gained some momentum since I last checked. Brings a tear to my eye 

Good job Arcen

Well, partially   The bit about electricity moving a few in/sec and electrons pushing other electrons, etc, isn't... the most factual thing I've ever read   But perhaps closer than one might think, since the drift velocity of the actual physical particles is in that *ballpark, it's the **electromagnetic waves (which would be a closer referent to the word "electricity") that move at significant fractions of c.

*ballpark?

**electromagnetic waves is going more into the forms of radiation(which is electricaly charged particles), but the electric shuttle is not shooting out radiation, it is shooting(or rather "releasing") out just plain electricity(not particles). Electricity is the movement of elections, electromagnetic waves do have something to do with electrons, but that does not exactly make it electricity.

Large gaps of near-vacuum can provide rather effective resistance.  Large gaps of air do a good job too, though variable water vapor in the air is problematic for consistent protection.

My guess is that an electrical-charge weapon could be effective in space but that it would jump from the charging capacitor straight to the target vessel rather than spraying everywhere like the in-game graphic.  It also would not care about friend or foe distinctions, possibly except in case of every single allied ship maintaining the same kind of charge as the capacitor so as to repel rather than attract the bolt.  Of course, then your enemies could do the same thing.

Woot I was right

Theoritcaly(aka a guess from a highschooler) from what i do know from digital electronics, Electricity travels at a rate of a few inches per second or something similar, its just that when you flip a switch, the electron "pushes" the over electrons into motion, causing an instant result of the light turning on. However because there is no matter in space for electrons to push, the damage would be unnoticeable and would be difficult to direct the attack at a specific target.

But im not exactly an expert so dont use my opinion in any tests....

Yes triggerman, they used to be called missile cruisers. Their range also used to be a little smaller I think.

The MK I-IV series of any ship line is not just a progression of power, but actually different kinds of that ship. This keeps the game fresh and keeps old ships from being "outdated".

Even if your eyebot weak vs./strong vs. stats shows lower than expected results, Im sure it has increased attack and increased speed.

I would like nominate a few Fleet Starship Line rebalances.

Rebalance Fleet Starship Line - http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,4231.0.html(Raptor331)

Don't expect all of them to be accepted though.
