Just copy and past the tow files CAMPAIGNS_SINGLEPLAYER and FACTIONS from the C:\Documents and Settings\buddymander\Desktop\XML to the C:\Documents and Settings\buddymander\Desktop\XML\Empire Full Tech or if you want to start with basic tech copy and past to C:\Documents and Settings\buddymander\Desktop\XML\Empire Tech 1 Simple as that.

The true question here is by disabling the shields do you make it easier to take out subsystems? Also by targeting and destroying subsystems do you destroy the ship faster than would if you just disable the shields and target the ship its self? I have taken notice that by attacking just the ship itself you automatically destroy subsystems. Now heres the tricky part, i don't like to target a ships nose or a small part of the ship because some of my weapons fire will miss the ship itself, i want as much of my weapons fire to hit the ship as possible especially my capital ships, also when a enemy ship is moving to the left of right of my ships i target its nose so most of my weapons fire will hit the ship by the time it gets there, i have noticed that when a ship has shields my weapons fire thats misses the subsystem will hit the ship itself and hit the shields rather than damage the hull, so by destroying the shield generator your missing weapons fire will hit the hull thereby destroying the ship faster. Or i have played homeworld one to many times and am thinking to much in 3D.

Oh the irony...when you attack a ships subsystem you bypass there shields, therefore attacking the shield generator is useless. For those few unfortunate enough not to understand the words i speak, heres a example. Your in a battle, you attack the shield generator thereby bypassing the shields, you destroy the shield generator, now the ship has no shields, let me take a moment to say that this tactic is not of complete uselessness to you my little pet, you can now attack the ship itself and not the subsystem, this is good for vary large battles or encounters where you overwhelm the enemy and don't have to worry about losing frigate or higher class ships. What you should do instead of attacking the shield generator is attack the most powerful weapons first, this is derived from that age old RTS rule of consitrated firepower, which states thats once you destroy a enemy target you destroy that gun that was firing at you just a second ago, the less guns firing at you the better yes? Hopefully you contain at least a feeble mind to understand these simple concepts and derive there wisdom.
