Hi guys,

 

how to alter a message used for the MESS order?

 

Just enter your *short* message. And do not use one of the numbers.

I don't know why, but that didn't work for me. I ended up entering the MESS order then selecting "edit order" and replacing the message number itself with a short message (there's a limited number of characters allowed).

Ya, you are only alloud 50 characters, including spaces.

For a long message you have to send multiple MESS's

Does the success of an EXPL depends on crew and equipment of star ships?

 

Yes,

 

Explorer and to a lesser degree other types help.

And for equipment, there is a list on the forum done by Pete. Search for it.

 

He is a list just of what I remember:

Stun beam

Science Labs

Science Drone (big boost)

Flag Bridges

Universal Translator Devices

Survey Landers

Intelligence Packages

Sorry, should have a little more clear - stun beams help with EXPL orders?

 

I have read it somewhere concerning EXPLs. And it makes perfectly sense. Even, or specifically, taking Pete's

logic into account.

 

This is hard to verify, though.

 

I can personally only vouch for the Science Drones. One of my EXPL fleets picked up some Science Drones in an EXPL hit and had significantly more EXPL hits after this.

I wasn't doubting your word - just found it hard to believe stun guns could be linked to EXPL orders, is all (unless the explorers stun the natives then zap them with mega-volt charges until they cough up information on what's available so it can be 'discovered' and recovered)

It might get in handy when you find some interesting wildlife or the marvelled "energy sapper creature".
