galaxy questions From: Joseph Strout <jstrout@ucsd.edu> Date: Fri, 04 Aug 1995 00:00:00 +0000 I have some questions about Galaxy v3.52 which aren't covered in the rules... any help would be greatly appreciated. 1. SPLITTING GROUPS: Under "Groups" it says, "Groups can be split up, and the program will automatically merge...after your orders." Under "B" it says "Break off a number of ships from a group." Nothing says how you can refer to those broken-off ships to give them orders. If you can't, and they are merged with their identical ships at the end of the turn, then "B" can have no noticable effect. ...? What I really want to do is load 5 cargo ships with COL and send them to A, and load the other 5 cargo ships (from that same group) with CAP and send them to planet B. Is this impossible? 2. Rumor has it that the penalty to shields due to mass (see "Combat") is not actually implemented. Can anyone confirm or deny this? 3. "O SORTGROUPS" didn't return an error, but my groups are still not sorted in planet order -- looks more like the order in which they were created. Am I missing something? Many thanks for any answers (especially to #1)... -- Joe Strout Referenced By Up
