I have noticed some erratic behavior in the auto reply feature.

Flights of four fighters instead of a squadron of 12 is an idea that does appeal to me so if it works out ok then i will happily adopt the idea DG

Stellar_Magic were you using the default config of Rebellion at the time or a TC?

Looking at the size of the ISD's you would expect them to be able to hold at least 50+ TIE's as they would need them for basic patrol & perimiter work. Plus they would need to hold spares etc as well in case some got destroyed in battle. You wouldnt expect an ISD to have to turn tale and run to the nearest ship yard because 40 Tie fighters had been destroyed.

No problem As a whole i am finding the TC very good to use. I have it now working with the increased AI hack and it seems to be working. I did notice the abunbance of y-wings though which was worrying as three of them took-out three lancers and a VSD1 After that i returned them to their base levels and it once again became, what i would call stable. However i am always open to try new Tc's and your improvements are eagerly awaited

Is that with the number of fighters per fleet reduced to four? I am very interested to find out how this idea pans out

Now that will be mad Look forward to the screenies of that

Anyone got a screenshot of this strange effect?

The fighter idea sounds good. However i would be happier if one of the 'big guns' here tried it out first. You could then have the dreadnaught with a fighter capacity of four, which would sound more realistic than the current twelve. I was always under the impression that the dreadnaught was not that big a ship, and would not have had the capacity for twelve fighters. However i maybe wrong of course

Yep they are. Although i hardly ever build them as i dont find they are very good at all. Too weak to do anything useful.

Q. What configurations of ships do you use? I always play as the empire but have never found a good config of ships to use and was wondering what ships you use for various duties Thanks DG

Looking good people Please keep them coming.

If a kind hearted soul who is good with graphics (ahem ) could look at this image and add some imperial ships or something to it i would be most appreciative http://www.diplomats-empire.com/forum/images/avatars/4416772874215209857e83.jpg I really like the image but it doesnt look very imperial If it would be easier i have the 300x300 & 1024x768 images as well.

There is something i am really after & thats a good textured version of the Eclipse SSD. The one in the downloads is a bit bland & i love the ship, especially after i played with the stats a bit and made it a bit more realistic

Yep i am Email in sig. Thanks

I do want to try that One question though! When i open a new layer to paster the selected image onto, what settings should i use? There are four or so choices from white to transparrent i believe.

Looks great Did a few minor bits lasy night and it looked ok. Had a bit of trouble with the copy function as it did not want to work easily.

Daala was one of my fav's as she made looking bad, look good Lose this ship, that ship and oooooppsss best retreat now

Pellaeon a grand adminral Bahhh what next. Oh i know lets make Veers into a grand admiral, he would make just as good a job as the putz know as Pellaeon

Probably

A brief history of Thrawn - from the star wars.com databank A consummate strategist, Grand Admiral Thrawn likened combat to art, and was an aficionado of both. He could cite inspirations, analyze motives and determine outcomes before his opponents had even consciously began formulating a move. Thrawn's greatest weapon was his mind. This was long ago recognized by his people, the Chiss, who banished Mitth'raw'nuruodo for his dangerous ideas. The Chiss of Csilla are a disciplined species, advanced enough to build a sizable fleet and an empire over two dozen worlds. Thrawn's tactics were controversial in their boldness, and his activities within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet drew many a concerned, glowing red eye. The rest of the galaxy made first contact with the Chiss when a taskforce dispatched by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine stumbled upon Thrawn's fleet. The young blue-skinned commander was able to decimate the intruders despite inferior weapons and numbers. The taskforce's commander, Kinman Doriana, asked Thrawn for a parley. The two conversed, and Doriana was able to appeal to Thrawn's cool sense of logic and order. He outlined his mission -- to destroy the incoming Outbound Flight vessel -- to Thrawn, spelling out the threat that this vessel filled with Jedi Masters posed to the Chiss people. Thrawn completed the mission that Doriana failed and destroyed the Outbound Flight project. Returning to Csilla, Thrawn was reprimanded for his hostilities. Though he explained that his actions were part of a pre-emptive strike to protect Csilla and the Chiss, the ruling houses could not wrap their minds around such radical concepts. Thrawn was placed under close observation. In time, his activities caused him to be altogether banished from the Chiss. The Chiss's loss became Palpatine's gain. Agents of the new Emperor discovered Thrawn on a barren jungle world and took him into their ranks. Despite a strong policy against non-human officers in the Imperial Navy, Thrawn ascended the Imperial ranks. Before long, Thrawn attained command of an Imperial Star Destroyer, the Vengeance. When he transferred to the Admonitor, he was given the thankless task of mapping huge areas of the Unknown Regions. When in the depths of the galaxy's backwater, Thrawn re-established contact with the Chiss, who in the interim had been besieged by all manner of encroaching threats. Thrawn, who had once been banished for his bold leadership, was now being lauded for it. Many Chiss longed for his return, and Thrawn secretly established a base of operations on the distant world of Nirauan. Returning to the Empire proper, Thrawn's star continued to rise unabated. He achieved the rank of Vice Admiral, and earned Vader's respect and access to his secret Noghri army. After helping dispose of the traitorous Grand Admiral Zaarin, Thrawn ascended to that rank himself. After the Battle of Hoth, Thrawn returned to Outer Rim mapping duty. His ascent to Grand Admiral went without notice by Alliance Intelligence, thus his existence remained a secret. After the fall of Palpatine at Endor, Thrawn returned to Nirauan. He did not return to the Empire until four years after Palpatine's defeat. Thrawn contacted Captain Gilad Pellaeon, and returned to the Imperial fleet. He then began a systematic campaign of retaking worlds in a bid to recapture Coruscant. His genius manifested itself best in constructing strategies from mere fragments of information. Thrawn was able to locate one of Palpatine's fabled storehouses, and there, found the technology necessary to begin growing a clone army. He found vessels for this army by discovering the long lost Katana Fleet. He recruited the maddened dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth and used his Force talents to better coordinate his scattered strikes. Thrawn also began to secure secret caches of cloned agents throughout the galaxy, ready to answer his call. Thrawn's greatest oversight was the compelling leadership of Leia Organa Solo. Leia identified and befriended Thrawn's secret Noghri attackers. On their polluted homeworld, Leia was able to prove that the Empire had long exploited the Noghri's sense of honor. She showed how it was the Empire who was poisoning their world, not saving it. Incensed, the Noghri turned against their Imperial benefactors. At the height of the Battle of Bilbringi, Thrawn's faithful Noghri bodyguard Rukh killed the Grand Admiral with an assassin's blade. The Imperial forces scattered, reformed, and scattered again in the ensuing power vacuum. Ten years later, word of Thrawn's miraculous return began to spread. In truth, it was not Thrawn at all, but Imperial conspirators using Thrawn's name and identity. Thrawn did, though, have some sort of plan to return. During this time, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade made a chilling discovery on Nirauan: an incubating clone of Thrawn himself. The clone was killed before it ever drew breath, and the attempt to resurrect Thrawn's legacy was quashed.
