QUESTIONS TIME IMPERIUM LAFAYETTE

[ImperiumLafayette]

A thread for the questions (since I have many) of Imperium Lafayette. Instead of making a new thread every single time...

Question #1

PLANETARY OWNER SOVEREIGN WORLDS

Anyone know if this is player or a NPC?

QUESTION #2

Say I'm building Fighters at planet XXX11100. The max limit is 150. The planet has 100 fighters on it. I do a build order for 150 fighters, does the build FAIL or does only 50 fighters get built?

This is a "cover your cheeks", anti-assume condition, type question.

Thank you in advance.

I usually put 500 in the fighter build slot, the planet will only build up to it's maximum, I do the same for marines, I'll put 2000 in the slot and the planet will build it's max, etc...Also when lowering your aggression level it is a move and do you can order a scout fleet to lower it's ag level and it'll move to where you want it to go and scan at the same time.

QUESTION #3

I am confusing myself over these move and do's.

Using AC 25, Merging Fleets.

I have two fleets, F1 at Planet X and F4 at Planet Y. I want to move F4 to Planet X and merge F4 into F1.

ACTION CODE//LOCATION#1//FIRST FLEET (FLEET RECEIVING)//SECOND FLEET(FLEET MERGERING)
25//PLANET X//F1//F4

What happens?
A.) F4 move to Planet X and merges into F1 (what I want to happen) ships merging from F4 now at end of the line in F1
B.) F1 move to Planet X and nothing happens (what I do not want to happen) ...and I pull all my hair out.

Thanks for answer to #2 Charon Empire
Thanks in advance for #3

Bald Is Not A Good Look On Me

[CHARON EMPIRE]

I hate to say it but this one always gets me. Having just done a whole turn of action code 25, most of which failed because the fleet location 1 was the moving fleet and not location 2, of course fleet 1 also exceeded the 50 ship limit. I find it easier when merging fleets to just move both fleets to the same location, preferably in planet orbit as they don't always find each other when in system and sub sector. Of note, and this is important. If one of the fleets exceeds the 50 ship that fleet will be unable to move, so...move the other fleet to the location of the larger fleet, when doing action code 25 leave the location blank! That way both fleets will merge! Fleet two will move and merge into fleet one and it won't generate a failure to move from the computer because one of the fleets exceeded the 50 ship limit.

[ImperiumLafayette]

Ok, parse the answer, parse the answer....

Neither fleet in my example is 50 ships.
So if I am understanding your answer it is [A] that happens in my example. And that leaving the location blank gets me the same result?

Am I correct? Or barking up the wrong blackhole?

[REPTIMALIEN]

Maybe I should not try but here it is.
Taking a look at AC 26 fleet 2 is your
Fleet that your are moving and merging
To that alien fleet's location.
So it stands to reason this works the
Same for AC 25.
Now I have not used AC 111but a couple of times over 215 turnsand am not sure.
AC 135 I use from time to time doing research of old turns fleet 1 moves to location to transfer ships to fleet 2.

[ImperiumLafayette]

Thanks!

Question #4

Ok, need a little help figuring out what they are trying to tell me:

-Action 20-
Fleet 80 reports orbit achieved around XXX11100
Imperial Governor on XXX11100 sends greetings. Requests 374 cargo units.
Cargo unloaded at XXX11100 Price sold : 840 RU
IMPERIUM LAFAYETTE has sold 40 cargo units on XXX11100
Fleet 80 has sold 40 cargo units on XXX11100
Imperial Governor reports tariff of 40 RU's collected from sale on XXX11100

Did the cargo sell for 840 or 40 RU's? If it sold for 840 RU then what is this tariff and who gets it?
