If clarification or correction is needed, let me know. My first bit of advice: Find the offender. It doesn't help to quiet your case fans if the loudest thing there is your CPU fan. I'll focus some of my advice if I hear any feedback on what runs loudest in your system. My second bit of advice: Clean the system. Theory: cleaner system runs cooler, thus doesn't need to go 100% on the fans. Surprising amounts of
From HOT HOT HOT I will try this see if it stops my machine from lifting (ehh, when it get's hot it's fan's speed will be increased which sounds as it is about to be airborne ). <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Text"
I guess I won't shut up after all. I'd love to have custom race portraits (female) in Single Player, but I'm somewhat worried about tasteless/crappy race portraits in possible future MP. I'd say, in a MP game of some sort, only let me choose from official portraits, serious male and female included. I'd say, in a SP game of some sort, let me get revenge on the Yor (for whooping my arse) by giving them an Idiot AI and a race portra
Heck, with enough fluff and background information, you can define femine. I read a nice amount of military sci-fi of all varieties from serious to farsical. One fiction/species had "Battle Mothers". For instance, perhaps Drengin females can be bigger and tougher. Just have the background fluff to explain it. It's not unprecedented, just look at the Black Widow Spider (who the Drengin would probably adopt as their national pet, with an

I don't mind a low morale that much, unless I'm in some influence war or an election year. If the pop ain't dropping and the taxpayers ain't revolting. As for whether more people are better then an economic enhancement that really depends on your current tax rate. I'm sure someone can run the numbers for us here but my best guess is that if you can handle the negati
Tax Rate(%)-Approval(-%) 090-347 080-192 070-163 060-090 It is quite possible to hike the rate up to 80% with later morale improvements, a resource or two. Early on though, 60% is about all thats feasible possible to counter, especially since you can't propaganda the smaller planets anymore.
I tend to use 50% and lower it from there. That said, if you're willing to build lots of morale buildings, somewhere around sixty percent is as high as you'll likely want to go.

Seriously, does your computer have fifty fans? What's it really have? I can imagine a couple 120mm fans for front and rear ventilation, blowholes, side intakes, side exhaust, gpu, cpu, memory, hardrives and in my wildest dreams I can imagine enough exhaust to lift my steel tower foot off my desk. I still can't imagine fifty fans, though.
The solution is simple. Reduce your game resolution or increase your desktop resolution. Windowed mode is working, but you just can't see the window frame and tastk bar, because the game is still at 1024*768, or the exact equivalent of your desktop. So, the title bar and such is there, just off screen, where you can't reach it. Should still be fine without changing the resolution if you just want a 'boss mode or to take notes in a program without awkward delays switching between pro

May have already been mentioned: Upgrading: 1). Add a hotkey. 2). You know that "i" information window? Make it possible to upgrade there, so I don't have to seperate my stacks to upgrade. Renaming (built ships): 1). Stupid blank field! Why allow the arrow keys to reposition the insertion cursor if the very first key I press is going to clear the whole name field? Possible tweaks: 1). Don't clear the name field. Make the

So, I've thought it over. Here's one that should be quick and easy, that I'd love to see. The ability to color the fog of war/unexplored areas. Right now, I have trouble telling the difference between the black of space, the dark grey of unexplored, and the light grey of explored. I'd love to have the fog of war in say a dark blue or be able to customize that when I create my civilization/race. Still though, just putting a toggle in the optio

Brainstorming (read, half-thought out) Ship design: 1). Fliping a hardpoint flips up-down in addition to fore-aft. (already mentioned). 2). Panning is good. But I often have trouble putting an extra on, because I can't get a solid view of the ship. Some free floating camera controls would be nice. I have a feeling there was some discussion of this during the beta, but I can't remember. 3). I'd like to upgrade the existing core designs. I understand, however, that they may hav
Sorry, but I don't have Adblock, I use Firefox 1.5.0.1, and I can't login. Refreshing seems fine, but the login button seems dead. Perhaps it has to do with .aspx being Microsoft? But obviously, not every Firefox user is having the same problem, so perhaps I can't blame MS. I cannot log in to either the downloads, or the forum. The nick name and password fields are live, along with create account and send password, but the button next to it is dead. And doh! I just found out that al
