    So I'm playing Believers with tech stag and blind research and am currently at war on one front with the Uni's, and on another front with the Hive. Well the Hive managed to scrape together enough EC's to subvert one of my 4/1/2 SAM Rovers, which Yang immediately upgrades to a 10/1/2 SAM Rover and starts mass producing!?!
    But now comes the interesting part: when one of my aircraft attacks a city with one of these SAM units in it why the SAM unit is chosen first over Yang's 2/3/1 and 1/3/1 defenders!?!
    Edit: also, if my needlejet attacks a 10/1/2 SAM unit within a base radius which has an interceptor in it, the interceptor won't scramble! Very interesting!

      Groundbased SAM seems to be considered superior to air defense abilities by the combat algorithms.

        Darsnan, when your jets fight the <10>-1-2 rovers are the odds like 'NJ attack:1' or 'NJ attack:10', alas which value of defender is taken into account?

          The SAM Rovers are defending, and so have a strength of 1.

            Bah, that's a good bug!

            SAM rovers IRL would defend with attack value as it's an 'active defense' not 'passive' compared with some plasma infantry armed with MGs at best.

                  Yeah, that really makes the game a challenge.


                  I'm trying to figure out who the pics are. Darla Lane looks like a character who appeared on Andromeda. I'm not sure if I should recognize Quintris or Elizabeth.
                  Personally, I wonder who Bre Ata is...

                    Bre Ata
                    Search NetworkNode for 'Sisters of something' (maybe 'Planet').

                    She's even better in full view..

                      her faction is the "Bree", one of the "alien" factions.

                        You didn't make the mod you are playing, or just scraped up some pics and didn't care where they were from?

                          what do mean?

                          All I did was download factions from networknode and changed the alpha.txt to play against them! that's all! I never swapped pics or anything.

                            Not weird I guess, but I found it on my upload space so I thought I'd share it. Who says the Great Dunes can't be useful?

                                Oh, I thought you made up Plutonian faction to go along with your name...

                                But 'fess up, that is you in the Plutonian pic, right?
