Bay 12 Games Forum

If you notice the ACTUAL issues in LCS aren't biased. They are factual.

I'll have to look into that when I get back from work. >.>

The gun control forcing the police and military to use "non-lethal" force is interesting, think about how a war would be fought if one side only had tazers and tear gas

It can be done.  Where there is a will, there is a way. Research and development.  The good news, most civilian casualties will be a thing of the past. 
The bad news.  Animals and the ecosystem around the warzone... will probably get screwed up... >.>

Non-lethal electrical stun grenades, pepper grenades, rubber grenades and sleeping gas.  High spread and high potency.  Liberally applied.  Insurgents using civilians as a defense... won't work as well.
Flash bangs too.
Darts / low-impact bullets with strong electrical charge or anesthetic.  Don't think of it as a battle...  think of it as big-game hunting!

Come to think of it... seems more interesting to develop multitude of ways to apply non-lethal force in a combat situation...  Oh how it can be abused.

Surrender peacefully or be stunned, disoriented and blinded multiple times.  If you want to fight, I'll make sure you won't die.  I'll personally make sure of that.

Only problem is the after-effect... prisoner management...  oh so many. 

The idea here isn't to make the enemy die for their cause.  Its to make them suffer for their cause.


EDIT: Behold!

Swiss asks if animals need lawyers

The only issue with the name is that people might confuse it with Crusader Kings: Deus Vult. I like where you're going with this though, the first person view and combat looks extremely promising.

QFT

Yea, thats what I thought all this time...  make this game name a bit more unique....  Only looked in here cause I was curious about what sort of mod people are working on for the CK:DV game...

Otherwise.. a game similar to M&B?  Get.

Racial Discrimination
C+: People are employed by their own merits without the need to adhere to arbitrary restrictions.
L+: Anti-discrimination has made it so non-whites are more likely to get jobs they are not qualified for due to fear of discrimination charges.
L++: Anti-discrimination laws are so strict that it actually discriminates against white people.

Er... actually, your L++ would be C++...
Think of Africa and it's apartheid system at one point. It discriminated against the population majority, the blacks.
 
Discrimination is discrimination. You can't have anti-discrimination laws that wrap back around to negative numbers. That's just silly.
 
Malaysia is C++ lol, we have discrimination laws in place to protect the malay majority! yes, companies, by law, must hire a certain number of malay workers, large companies must have at least 1 malay company director, etc etc etc.

Sure you can.  Sensationalize and popularize it enough and some politicians will put pants on their head and ride with it without looking at the consequences.

But, its for the CCS right?  Why would they say that they are discriminating against the minority?  Or favoring the majority? 
Merits by play of definition can be pretty open. >.>

And the L++, its more of a fear of what could happen under liberal dominance.  As the CCS Founder... what would you be more afraid of?  What are you more likely to believe and act to counter?

Anti-discrimination laws are so strict that it actually discriminates against white people.(Or majority/dominant race)

vs

It is illegal to refer to anybody by their race.

More reality based, in my opinion... plus its a more fearful outcome then It is illegal to refer to anybody by their gender.

Women:
C+: For safety reasons, women are not allowed to work under any condition deemed to be dangerous.
L+: Anti-discrimination has made it so woman are more likely to get jobs they are not qualified for due to fear of discrimination charges.
L++: Anti-discrimination laws are so strict that it actually discriminates against men.

Racial Discrimination
C+: People are employed by their own merits without the need to adhere to arbitrary restrictions.
L+: Anti-discrimination has made it so non-whites are more likely to get jobs they are not qualified for due to fear of discrimination charges.
L++: Anti-discrimination laws are so strict that it actually discriminates against white people.

Why have L++?  Just knock it down to L and L+...   >.>   The C+ I put in would be equal to your L++....   if that is your intent.

(I don't get why people keep using L+ and L++....  Well I do, its due to coding.... but its confusing....)

I never had problems.  You are doing this in the Task Force screen? 

Create New TG, Rename TG, Delete TG at the bottom left.

You can transfer ships from the 2nd tab from the left.

You should also be able to do it from the task group window, by changing the task force in the dropdown but it doesn't save your changes.

I've only ever bothered to do it in the Task Force screen(the one where you give your Task Groups orders...)  It hasn't caused me any trouble.

You folks can bring that problem up as a bug on the Aurora forums.

Area defense occurs during the normal weapons fire segment while final defense occurs during the movement segment when the missile(s) should intercept their target. If the missile can cross the engagement range of a PD beam during a single movement then it will not be engaged.

Yea, guess my speculation is a very round-about way of saying the same thing you just said here.

@Greiger: Didn't we establish that internal armour doesn't work against Meson? 
In summary... a quote from the Aurora forums along the lines of: "If internal armour stopped Meson fire, I'd plaster that stuff all over my hull."

guys... how does the Point Defense (SFC)  "area defense" etc selection work in game???

I thought it was automated but apparently.. i cant get it to automate itself now.

I could have sworn i had this working in my last game!!!

I have my fire control selected with eccm, then select the "area defense" option and hit assign... with a correct range selected.

it sets the turret to Area Point Defense, but it keeps letting missiles fly through without targetting...

Yes they are ready to fire.

what the hell am i missing?

I had that problem myself.  Basically I'm in a jumping around different games mode right now... so eh, no proper explanation.  (Plus I'm not searching Aurora for explanation either..)

Area Defense didn't seem to work... but my speculation:

It may be that it fires after the missiles move?  Which is too late in most cases... especially against really fast missiles and having a short range...  Didn't give too much attention to it since I was trying to manually aim at the same time with my lasers and torpedoes.

As for PD and self PD, they work, but only as a Final Defense, shoots just before getting hit.  So it has initiative there...

MOAR MOAR MOAR MOAR EDIT: Ok, won the game. That was way easier than I thought. My leader had initially stats and skills fit for a lawyer, recruited hippies to the cap and had them write for the Guardian. Then he sprayed graffiti, and whenever caught, defended himself in the court. He also financed all operations by selling portaits. In the end he had about 200 juice. Possibly the weakest leader I've ever had, but ah, still so strong! Perhaps I should try again in conservative nightmare mode. Death squads can be a problem though.

How did you get your leader to 200 juice? Don't legal actions have a juice cap of 50 or something?

Indiscriminate liberation of the yoke of life on a massive scale in the crack houses.

EDIT: Oh right... Ghandi squad...  and legal?   Nevermind that.

Could be the Graffiti, I never do that myself.... but that could be it.  A slow process.
