Hey everyone. New here.
I'm playing my first real game (aside from the tutorial. ) 4 starting empires on Earth. My question comes in at least a couple parts . . . firstly, why do my empires pick up thermal signatures of 1 for each PDC of the other empires? According to the design window, all of the PDCs have no thermal signature (they don't even have engines, for crying out loud. ) And secondly, if they are detecting a thermal signature, why can my ICBM pdcs not target those signatures?
Ordinarily I wouldn't have brought this up, except that my system map is always cluttered with a huge list of PDCs (ie: Essex 01, Essex 02, Essex 03, and so on . . . any way to truncate that into something like: Essex (x16)?) and yet, despite this huge list of contacts, none of them are targetable.
Here are my PDC designs. Am I missing something?
