Victor-1 Arrives - Too much information?

Seriously, Victor-1 has just arrived in LEO. Go in and take a look at the ship & we get given information we simply have no right knowing (please see screenie) Drive type - Alien Fusion Torch x2 Power Plant - Alien Hybrid Confinement Fusion Reactor Radiators, Armour, Nose Weapons & the Heat ...

Re: What is the fire rate of railguns?

It varies a lot by module. Reload rate is one of the bigger things each upgrade level improves for railguns/coilguns. https://rookiv.github.io/terra-invicta/#Railguns Select the specific railgun you want to know about and check the "cooldown_s" line. That's the cooldown until it can fire ...

Re: Suggestion: Alliances should cause cohesion drift

Its a bit awkward to see large countries ally anyone and everyone they can (obviously if they are the same faction) regardless of persuasion. However, i would suggest that there should be a cost to alliances, paid in the form of COHESION, with the cost being proportional to the difference in govern...

Re: Labs in Orbitals question

While you _do_ get the X number of research points, if you want to get the %-bonus to research, yes, the station needs to be on an interface orbit above Earth and only Earth So it is of no real benefit to build these various labs anywhere else except LEO then? I know Research Labs just add a base o...

I moved (Reddit) guides to their own page in the TI wiki, Elouda's diagram is good for visualising the drive performance but you need to check the spreadsheet if the drive has serious caveats, many of them do.

Having a table with sortable columns for bases would be a real boon to find your MVP bases or resource sinks.
Agreed - very much so. On all counts

Labs in Orbitals question

This may seem like a dumb newbie query (and in a way, it is) but there is something I cannot seem to work out. When creating orbitals, is it only on Interface Orbits that I get the lab bonuses to research, or will these work on all orbitals? For example, if I have a set of Xenolabs in, say Medium Ea...

Re: Thoughts on miltech/nation investment

I think the way its implemented is quite good actually. Just because you invented lasers doesn't make your army instantly better. It just raises the potential (max) of what you can achieve. To actually implement it takes years of invest, training, doctrinal changes, etc. So, various techs in the ga...

In a nutshell, you need better defences, Sir. This can be either in the form of better weaponry on your PD, or if the base is important a ship to protect it.

Re: Thoughts on miltech/nation investment

I'm with Ian (previous post) in the main - Mil Tech is also often done in so-called SAP's (Special Access Programmes) as well as openly.
This is quite different to the funding for the 'regular' armed forces of a nation too.

Re: I'm done with this game.

Cold as this may be.. This game is in early access. I'm sure you knew that when you bought it. So, this should be expected at some point when going through your playthrough. That's kind of the point. We are bug testing and getting early access in return. You beat me to it! Naturally there will be g...

Re: What defines an 'Interface Orbit' for Lab bonuses please?

Appreciated.
So only LEO-1 and LEO-2 then, plus ISS/Tiangong.
Basically if there is no 'Interface Orbit' text when trying to set up an orbital then it isn't an interface orbit.
Thanks. Appreciate the assistance

What defines an 'Interface Orbit' for Lab bonuses please?

Is it really true that only LEO-1 (Low Earth Orbit) stations are 'interface' stations for things like the Research Campus?
It seems to me that LEO-2 should also work, but it is literally not mentioned as an interface orbit when attempting to start one
