adding that 2 ship colonizer was brilliant, thanks.

Helix

Thanks, but that got implemented after watching Kaus's colonizer at work - I couldn't keep up so the 2-ship was the only way.

Just used it as a red in an Unlim, Sweet

I analyzed every way to colo...you cant tow a ship turn effectively as far as I know.

I think they are only using this method for Unlims.

when the planet is like 4 hops from terra i belive its faster any more and its to slow if im not mistaken.

Yeah, I wouldn't use the 2-ship option in a turns game. I haven't calculated the TPW/Ore/Cols for turns since I don't play turn based games.

The script allows options for single and two ship, plus red/blue colo options. As Toyman noted the script was written primarily for unlims, but there is a turns option but it isn't extremely accurate on turn calculation so always have a buffer on the turn count. I think I left the BTW option (B - to wall) that can be unsafe since it assumes your base fig is safe - no fuse protection on that. I have different versions that are not public so it is somewhat hard to remember what I've released and what I haven't.

thank you Pro

I use your other colonizer Prom, Looking forward to trying this one out.

I think you will just end up dead unless your alone in the game..at which point speed doesn't mean anything.

So how does this 2 ship colo thing work again?

4 hops from terra? Your building a base 4 hops out? You wont keep it long.

What am I missing?

Parrot...

One of the strategies for UTW truce games find a sector close to Fedspace.

pop desired planets, use 2 ship ewarp collie script pause and wait for collie drop
Steal as many collies as possible
Upgrade planets to mobile... chance of that happening under truce very good.

Well that was the "standard strategy" a couple of years back.

Heh... Just thought of an exploit ... Nav Haz Sector 2 or whatever Sector is in path....

Probably against the rules as this is damaging to the (X amount of people online 24/7/365) egos

Only if the scripter didn't think of checking for fighter depletion due to nav haz or terra attacks.
