Default Configuration

Monday, January 31, 2011
We have frequently published that the default configuration on Nu is the original default configuration. Several players have pointed out that this is not the case for a few different settings. So we have published the actual default configuration used here at Nu in the "How to Play" section of the website.  You can find this information here:  Default Configuration

Excellent, thank you! This will help new players immensely.

Thanks for the config post. It helps alot.
I have reviewed default configs for several older versions and found that the Fed engine shield boost in all cases was set above zero.

I still think that "Scotty" can always get a bit more power shunted to the shields than other races...and that this is an important attribute of the Fed gameplan. Hopefully we might see that adjusted in the future.

Bonjour,

I like the Idea of having an engine shield bonus this kind of reward players who opt for developing their engine teck early in the game and pay the higher cost of transwarp engines.

cheers

Fantastic! Decay rate is way too high however. This penalizes the borg and players with a skill at micro management of clans. Tim default of 1 was better.

There is info on if planets can attack Rebel ships (due to ground assault). Do you have any information as to whether or not they can attack Fascist ones (due to plunder)?

In HCONFIG there was an option to enable/disable this.

I'd just like to know which is currently set :)

Planets can attack Fascist ships: NO
Fascist can use their ships to pillage planets, and are therefore immune to attacks from planets.
