I have question for game-master. Why is parameters in Configuration File of Phoenix4 game set to:
FighterSweepRate = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,15
FighterSweepRange = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,80 ??????
RamScoopFuelPerLY = 1

This parameters in a default settings of PHOST 4 for Colonies of Men:
FighterSweepRate= 20
FighterSweepRange=100
RamScoopFuelPerLY=2

Link to http://phost.de/phost4doc/config.html#FighterSweepRange

I believe that this is big disadvantage for Colonies. :sad:

You'd check PList 2.4 settings, not PHost defaults.

Ok. RamScoopFuelPerLY = 1 (Carillion too strong...bla-bla-bla :lol:)
BUT. This only recommended PLIST 2.4 settings.

The default settings that I have written above.

I say, that's not GameMaster set this values. It's standart PList 2.4 settings for PList 2.4 games.

default PHost settings - for default shiplist.

If it bothers you, win the game and change the statistics :wink:

Phoenix 1_______4 Phoenix 2_______5 Phoenix 3_______10/11 - it really means 5/6, because of only 4 races was alive enough.

So, Colonial never fall below the mid-line (6th place), so, it seems, this race on the winner's side :wink:

"PHost defaults" are what PHost uses if the value is not specified in the pconfig.src file at all. They are not necessarily recommended or good.

Using "PHost defaults" would be a "PAL" ship build queue, square warp wells, you're not immune to your own Lokis/Constis, no ESB. I wouldn't claim that these settings make sense in all circumstances.
