Which is our brand new player. methinkso does not appear to reply on our requests anymore.
Perhaps Hercules and civ_addicted need to communicate among themselves somehow. Or NH to forward his emails. Or Knoedel to try emailing methinkso just in case. Or me posting the link for civ_addicted:

Wait, no. Not that last one next time

Like you I have already emailed methinkso on some issues: Mainly about deleting finished games such as JATOT and Underdogs but also about games that have ended such as Naval Wars, Angular Momentum.

Ok help me with Starbase option. I am currently building one on a resource outside my star influence, (couldn't seem to build it elsewhere on the warp lane.)

Will I lose the resource benefit, because I didn't build an Extraction Facility on it. (Well because the resource was not within my influence boundary). Can I move the starbase 1 move and then build extraction facility?

I have to say the civilopedia is a bit vague on this question/ issue.

couldn't seem to build it elsewhere on the warp lane.

Perhaps you just didn't have enough money? Or did the option not appear at all? I think you should be able to build Starbases anywhere apart from on top of a star system or on top of another starbase, in fact I think you should be able to build them right next to each other even.

Will I lose the resource benefit, because I didn't build an Extraction Facility on it. (Well because the resource was not within my influence boundary). Can I move the starbase 1 move and then build extraction facility?

You can build a Starbase on top of a resource and still build an Extraction Facility on top of it. A Starbase, once construction is complete, is actually a unit, not an improvement, with 0 movement.

Once you start construction of a Starbase on a tile you pay a lump sum of Gold. If you were to begin construction anew on a different tile you would have to pay the same sum again. It's better to just finish construction where you started it unless you are swimming in money.

Incidentally, that is how I got a Starbase for free: The AstroTech Corporation was building one near a Wormhole to my northwest. I got Paradise to declare war on them and destroy the construction ship. Then I sent a construction ship of my own there and finished it within two turns or so, sacrificing the Construction Ship but not paying any money, receiving a Starbase of my own in a strategically important location with two resources in its influence.
And that is why you should always guard your Starbase construction sites with human players around.

Ok thanks for that information.

I think this mod has a bug about Great General. Hit F5 and mouse over GG progress bar. You will see that you need 99999 points towards your next General. Which is a shame because Military Academy can be only built byr GG.

There are no great people in this mod, period.

gps to Lu Tianqu. Tracker still works except for name change.

Starbase built. And a neighbour comes to have a look.

You know, I seriously sat there for five minutes and considered the pros and cons of opportunistically attacking your unescorted Construction Ship. Obviously I decided against it, but you should still be more cautious. Other players might not be so merciful, and they might come with Stealth Ships. You never know what lurks in deep space...

Also I don't think building a Starbase for a single Titanium unless I overlooked another resource is worth it yet. The only good it does you is speed up the construction of Battleships and Carriers, neither of which you have probably even researched yet.

But civ_addicted might not know it's his turn...

According to the tracker it's Nighthawk's turn now, so apparently he does.

Ah never mind, I'm stupid.

Hercules, I'm afraid you'll just have to send your turns to civ-addicted via email, as I can't change the players in the tracker without contacting the tracker admin, who seems to have disappeared.

Well I'll check if I have his email address.
No I don't.

Now you do.

 

[Hercules90]

Now you do.

Thanks. I'll see first if he picks up Lu Tianqu in tracker. If not then email it will be.
