Back to the game...need answers pls :)
Hello all! After a long break from MOO3 I decided to give it a try again since the new patch is out. There are a couple of questions that I need to ask before reinstalling the game :

1) Is ship refitting in?

2) Are there improvements in the AI (in all aspects) since release?

Any answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No.

Haven't tried v1.00 so I can't say, but I got my ass kicked on easy twice before I knew that humans sucked.


Ship refitting isn't such a big deal, I have 2500 ships out in this current game, and I wouldn't refit them if I could.

Maybe if it did that during the delay box time.. but oh well.

I believe the answers are:

1. No

2. Somewhat

Hang in there!

LOL Skyjack. I know what you mean. That's why I haven't been playing for months. One of my friends told me about the new patch and thought I just pop in and see how's it going now.

Ship refitting wasn't anything to be 'fixed'. It was a potential feature that they deliberately left out.

In MOO 1 there was no refitting of ships after they where built. In Pax Imperia you where only allow to refit ship of the same class, you wherenot allow to refitted than scout class ship as than battleship class ship. In MOO2 refitted of ship where badly abuse by player.

Ah Pax, I still have it. Going way back to Ascendancy you could only refit the same class. This is how Moo2 works. You can not take a scout and turn it into a cruiser. It will tell you that it is not the same size.

Ah I see now, I'm right now at around turn 100 in my game and don't see the need to refit ships. Just build new ones and send the rest to search for an "X".

Btw is the PD bug fixed? I was unlucky to not have researched it and don't know if it works now
