One more thing I noticed. Ranger class ships do not become available to me until I research large hulls. I thought they were supposed to be medium sized ships? Even their description says so. As a result, Rangers and Destroyers have the exact same dimensions and power.
I've gotten a lot more crashes to desktop in 5.83 than I did in 5.82. I have not gotten past turn 200 once. The crashes have happened either when I attack a shipyard, get invaded or occasionally when I battle with pirates. In addition, the colors for the mini icons of the asteroid resources when you are zoomed out are all gone. All of the resource icons are now white. It does seem like the other races put all of their resources into military spending from the
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I've started 3 games as the Thalans, and each time before I ever click the mouse once, they achieve the first 3 levels of industrialization. In addition, they only start with a home planet whereas the other races typically start with a home planet and a class 5 or 6 planet nearby to facilitate the first colony.
Has anyone else noticed that the mathematical outcome of a UP vote has no effect on the actual outcome of the vote? I've had several that turned out 3-2 and it was the 2 that won the vote. Does more go into the voting process than just number of votes?
Exile, I can kinda see it, but then I see a similarity to several crustaceans. Probably all goes back to that. I was going to say an earwig or house centipede, but crustacean works too.
I don't have an issue with the AI using superweapons. The issue I have, at least recently, is that the AI has researched superweapons 20 minutes into a game. Assuming all players are starting at the same level, this should be impossible, at least at the lower levels at which I play the game. How can a fair AI player have superweapons when I've barely built up enough resources and research to conquer 3 planets? Then they just sit back and blast my colonies to ki
[quote]Think the first game I played on a computer (some type of Apple II) was Castle Wolfenstein.[/quote] Rats! Thought I'd be the first person to mention Castle Wolfenstein on the Apple II+ (plus). We used to sneak playing it in our high school's computer lab, along with Sea Dragon and a few others I can't remember. If you got caught playing games in the lab, you'd be banned for a week. The lab computers had a word processor called Wordstar on
In the last two games I've played, the Korx surrendered to an attack by the Drath within about 10 weeks or so of war being declared. It worked out for me, because I was the one to whom they surrendered. However, as you know, when they do surrender, all their ships go pirate. Both times there were at LEAST 50 pirate ships left behind. Who surrenders with over 50 ships left??
[quote]It's a secret school for new recruits that turns all of your soldiers into Chuck Norris clones.[/quote] Impossible. Chuck Norris would eat any clones made of him.
I love HW2. C&C Generals and HW 2 were the first two games I purchased for my computer when I bought it in 2004. That is, the first two games I purchased that were professionally done, and not through Real Games or something like that. HW2 had the graphics and sound effects that I craved at the time, and Generals had very entertaining game play. I spent a lot of sleepless nights with those two games. I still feel that the artwork for HW2 has yet to find its e
I don't know if you guys noticed this or not, but it's been my impression that the Korx are a bunch of Sallies. They don't expand very aggressively, and they are almost always the first to resign in my games. In the words of Roman Moroni, "They are miserable Korx-suckers".
[quote]I honestly wonder why Stardock actually bother being so player-friendly sometimes, it seems they get nothing but grief for it. Release a series of great games with no copy protection, no cd requirement and no DRM? We'll moan about the delivery system! Release a free update which you don't have to but work on for hours and at cost in order to say thanks to customers - never fear, they'll complain that you didn't put in certain ship designs![/quote] They do it because they realiz
How about instead of "Store", you call it "Impulse Items"?
[quote]I know of no companies which try to do journals and keep players informed as much as stardock ... [/quote] Try working in an accounting department sometime. We have daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual and annual reporting processes. I think the OP's point was, to quote Dr. Evil, "Throw us a frickin' bone here", no matter how small it may be. Even if it's just, "We're too busy working on the beta to post about the beta." We have our proverbial h
2whatever. Have the auto ship builder select from a wider group of ships. For example, battle ship AND destroyer instead of just destroyer.
[quote]Tourism should be worth still more than it does currently. [/quote] I was thinking recently that this is a somewhat underutilized form of income. [quote]There should be more incentive to do leases than currently. [/quote] Funny...that's what our sales reps say to the executive team where I work. [e digicons]XD[/e]
[quote]perhaps submerge the whole system in liquid nitrogen.[/quote] Nah...I figure you could just hook it up to a few dozen fan boat engines with a freon feed and you'll be fine. You'll generate about 7,500,000 btu of cold air, but the polar ice caps are melting anyway, so you'll be helping the environment...while burning a train load of fuel and freon, that is.

[quote]Right now I'm looking into picking myself up a cheap cinema screen to hook my rig into... not to be outdone[/quote] Why stop there? I'm sure there's an IMAX going out of business somewhere...[e digicons]:grin:[/e]

And screenis envy strikes again!!
[quote]They better do it right this time, and get the bugs out of it before they release it.[/quote] This is Microsoft. When have they ever done that? I think that goes against their corporate mission statement.
[quote]Hands down..............Caddyshack 2[/quote] [quote]Any of The Exorcist sequels[/quote] I have to agree here. I'd also throw in Grease 2, Godfather 3, Nightmare on Elm Street 5 and 6, Batman & Robin and Evan Almighty.
[quote]very rarely is it worthwhile to build a farm on the +300% tile[/quote] Not true. When I get a planet with one (or sometimes more) of these tiles, I throw in a couple of factories and start churning out transports. With the Recruitment Center and Fertility Clinics (or whatever they are called), you can refill the population in no time.
