Re: Terra Invicta Dev Diary #14: Ship design

For the propellant tanks size you mentioned. You can use drop tanks that attach on a standard place on the Hull and can grow as big as you want. They should be jettisoned after they are empty. Or have dedicated automated tankers that will start with the fleet, refuel them at some point and then get ...

Re: Brainstorm: Alien Motivation

A vast interstellar empire exists far away. At some point in the past they conducted survey on earth and found nothing particularly interesting. Except that humans are truly delicious. The "Space McDonalds™" company sent ships to Earth to harvest enough humans for human farm and flew away....

Re: An Idea

Some time ago I was thinking about an X4 game which randomizes research every game. Like one game you would have Laser being strong and the next missiles. And that their relative strengths would change in each research tier again randomly. And the same for everything else. That would force you to se...

Re: Terra Invicta Dev Diary #5: Nations, Part 2

From an european point of view, that destroys immersion a bit. We do not view the EU as a nation and we do not identify as europeans rather than one's nationality. Creating such unified nation was tried in Yugoslavia, but did not work out. May be in 100 years or so that will happen, but not today. T...

Re: Is the reinforcement bucket always filling or only when the GUI is visible?

I think that it doesn't fill the bucket until you see the Reinforcement Imminent thing. At least that is my experience.

You can make a check on your next Hack objective mission if you want to be sure. The Restart Mission Mod would let you do that even on an Ironman game.

Re: Questions/feedback about Smash & Grab

Yes. It is even said in the first post in the thread.

You are supposed to get everything you want and get out before (or just as) the timer expires. The officer skill Intervention is especially useful on this one.

Re: Terra Invicta Dev Diary #5: Nations, Part 2

... The EU is a sort of unique thing, and would require a whole separate layer of design and code to portray with any more accuracy than we did by putting it on the same level of organization as Russia, China and the United States, and it wouldn't add a ton to the game. ... I beg to differ. Having ...

Re: The worst yellow alert activation

When you complete the objective (whatever it is) all pods are alerted and converge on the (former) objective. You were really unlucky with the pod sneaking behind you. It is also possible that they got activated from previous gunfire and decided to make a wild flanking maneuver ending behind your sn...

Re: Terra Invicta Dev Diary #6: Councilors

You should add that a Demagogue in an impoverished country have higher persuasion. Or in a country that has some sort of crisis.

The real life use case is Hitler. He wasn't very popular until the Great Depression.
