As far as I recall, and seemingly consistent with combat visibility initialization, planets are always at least basically visible... In the main game / galaxy map, you can always tell a planet is there, but unless you have enough detection strength, you won't be able to see its details, like meter ...

For comsats i think we will double the base hull cost and maybe up the turns to four in order to see how useful those are. This would have knock-on effect for other ships made with the Colony Base hull, like Outpost Base and Troop Drop. Given the cost of colony/outpost bases, doubling from 3PP to 6...

The lines across the planet indicates that you can't see it. If you hover over it, you will get more information.

In case any of you that are involved in multi-player games missed this: Hull/weapon research against human players I would appreciate your insight.

I'm in a similar spot, I have not enough multiplayer experience to be sure. But so far, early game robotic hull is my preference, and self-grav would be next hull to research (but in all games I've participated, when I get to them I'm already losing). That's the way I go in AI games, but robotic hu...

Playing my first multiplayer game now (24 hr turns, it's turn 7 now). Should have some preliminary feedback for you when it's finished (probably 2-3 months or so).

Ok, thanks.

I'll give this a bump in case someone as input and missed it.

Those of you involved in the multiplayer games and facing other human players, what hulls and weapons do you find the most effective? Obviously, there are going to be differences than when going against the AIs in single-player games.

Of course, my "example" showed the same effect for Cloud Cover as you'd see for Ion Storm. Don't want to confuse anyone.

Conveniently, here is an example from my current game. Laenfa world with Cloud Cover, invisible to Neutron Scanner:

Later in game, when detection tech is better, this shouldn't matter. Ion storms become "irrelevant" as far as i know once all players have researched the second detection tech (Neutron Scanner). Not so at all. With species having high stealth, you will still have problems with those. Even if you ha...

Not to be a downer, but a subreddit with 29 members isn't going to make much difference. If you want to do something with Reddit, you need to start where you'll get some attention. On https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/ there's a "weekly play thread": What are you playing Wednesday! What game's got you...

LOL. Consider shuttling them through (send enough ships; e.g. colony ship, korvette, 2 scouts) to soak hits so the scouts may pass through. Or consider using flux bubble hull.

Except for Meiji, all were Sentries. You'd lose a lot of ships.

Here's a great scout-killer opening draw:
