cestvel Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 In case I would find an ICE-1, I have added ICE-1 to my OC-EXLCUDE list. Cestvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TErnest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Mental note: add ICE-1 to the exclusion list... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. That and Power... Now that I know that Power can be found via EXPL, as well. And that it vanishes once it appears on a planet, as well. (Although with far less interesting results. The worst that happens is that all the inhabitants' fur stands out on end due the sudden static discharge into the city structures.)

Sssarass Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 ICE-1 is consssidered a poor item for resssearch purposssesss. You could allwaysss do a change to your OC ALL to exclude ICE-1 through whatever level you choossse. I have done ssso through ICE-4 CTO, Sssarasss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done ssso through ICE-4 CTO, Sssarasss <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now that is something I have not done. Just did ICE-1 on the exclusion list, not up through anything else. Hope I didn't find any this turn! Octus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughestrog Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 what generation is ICE? Isn't there a cap on EXPL and XEXPL for certain tech items? Lord Uriel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is there? Could be right as for the 'higher end' items, we've just got some tech breakthroughs and not the item.

cestvel Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 At least someone seems to have found a "Type B Plasma Torpedo" (check the battle reports). I doubt, that he has developed it at that point of the game. That would be a pretty high item up the ladder. I think, there is a cap in relation to your current technology level, not a fixed one.

Cestvel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did not find any Type B Plasma Torpedo's. Using diplomacy I convinced what was termed an "advanced neutral" to join the Concordium. And was I surprised by what they had in their stockpile in joining. Mk I Antimatter engines. Mk III Force Shields. Type B Plasma Torpedos. At the time I got this bonanza, no one that I knew of had developed any of these or knew any of the prereqs (though once I did the analyzes, I did realize several folks were getting close to completing the prereqs). Since then, all the other Neutrals to join have been rather a bust ... except for the one with the pile of System Drones. Now, if only I could do something with all the damaged or broken installations on the neutrals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those Scientists figuring you're soooooo great you can go and develop them for yourself? No research bonus towards it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixitixl Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 You can anz these items, and it will tell you the prerequisite needed for these items. This helps when you discover finds such as Type A Energy Web Projector... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sssarass Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Another nice thing to add to the OC-ALL exclusssion lissst is Power CTO, Sssarasss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did do ANZ's of the items, so I learned the prereqs. I was able to trade the prereqs to several others to get the prereqs/descriptions on several other items. So I netted information on about 9 items all together once the trades were done. Beyond that, no bonuses or anything else. At least the scientists were able to figure out which way to point the thing when firing, and which button to push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
