Steve,
How do you create NPRs and assign them things? How do you create extra player races to choose from in the same game? I cannot for the life of me figure out, and I can't find any posts that deal with the matter. I am using v6.30.
Please. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Steve,
I just had a thought - you seem to be generating a lot of NPR in nearby systems in the last two campaigns. Have you checked that the bug where system ID generation is biased to early numbers (which would have NPR) hasn't crept back in?

Quick question, what tech did you have for your missiles by this point? How big a portion of the total missile size was left for warhead, fuel capacity and agility? Also, how developed were your missile fire controls + sensors in order to pack as much firepower into 6k/9k/12k ships as you did, they seem to be rather well equipped, is this only in version 6. 4 that this can be done?

The smallest warship in the Jovian inventory in 2200 was the Aquila class escort, intended to protect its larger siblings from missile attack. The 6000 ton vessel could launch sixty Gladius anti-missile missiles every minute. Some critics at the time believed the Aquila was too small to survive in a clash between modern battle fleets. The Aquila’s supporters highlighted that its low cost would allow a greater number of escort vessels and the loss of any individual ship would be therefore lessened. Time would tell which school of thought was correct. Six ships were in service on January 1st 2200; Aquila, Cygnus, Leonis, Orca, Scorpii and Volantis.Code: [Select]Aquila class Escort 6,000 tons 135 Crew 931.36 BP TCS 120 TH 480 EM 0

Partly because my EM tech is 11 compared to 6 for thermal and partly because EM signatures from active sensors are generally stronger than thermal emissions from engines.
Curious; why the passive EM sensors instead of thermals?
