I just got one on an invoice sent off to the shipyards: 80 turns? That's... 4x as many turns as the one I ordered (for prototype). I do have the fast prototyping tech, but I don't think it would have made that big of a difference. What sort of tech did you have on it? I just had pretty early tech (starting missiles & particle beams) +impactors & HCL beam modules.

How long are your end game turns taking? At sots1 rates even 20 turns would be painfully long to wait, never mind 80.
 
This isn't even late-game, more like early or midgame (~90)

I did techrush afterall.

For stability reasons, I also turned off GMs & encounters, and there is only one AI

Also, 3 turns till completion! :D

EDIT: its completed! :D
 
Wow man, I can't wait until this game gets playable for me! *drool*
 
Doesn't look like it's random encounters, which I have disabled for now. It looks like something the AI does.

Out of curiosity, anybody have any pics of the other race's leviathans?
 
For Humans there are only Battleriders (ie Destroyer sized vessels). Yes, all of those are BRs, and I only used up about a third of its capacity IIRC, so in total I'd guesstimate maybe 50ish? This is a Carrier type LV, theres also a Standard one with more guns and less riderspace.

The Tarka have Battleriders and Battlecruisers (also known as Hunters).

The Liir/Zuul have those two along with Battleships.

The rest only have Battleriders.

Heres another.

I suppose that 2 will do. Which one do you think is better?

Ugh and I still can't get a working game past turn 25.

Hmm ... did you guys rush to leviathan (ex: go all leviathan prerequisites and arm the leviathan with beginning game weapons)?



There is one way I guess the community could find out. Have at least one person who has played each race upload a save game with a leviathan onto a file sharing website like Mediafire.
 
That's a good question. I suppose until somebody uploads, we are not going to be able to find out.

Nice pictures though. So you did do a LV rush? Judging by the pictures, you've got weapons that belong to the start of the game.
 
Me? Yeah XD
I planned my entire early game around:
Step 1: get antimatter (LV pre-req)
Step 2: get DN (LV pre-req)
Step 3: get battleriders (LV pre-req)
Step 4: get LV
Step 5: hoard money while building LV thats outfitted with lame starter weapons XD
 
Ok, I am now over 150 turns later, and have begun construction on my second LV prototype. Estimated time of completion? 9 turns. (Ok well, I have a real forge system going)

I need to start saving up money fast though, since it costs more than last time :p
(I put significantly better weapons on it this time around though XD)

Do standard LVs hold any battleriders? I thought they did.
