[quote]To increase the speed of multiplayer games to 2x speed? I feel that its the perfect pace for multiplayer[/quote] Shadow89, Are you playing with all Faster speeds? (The host sets these in Game Options). Because I find this setup online to be very similar to the 2X speed in Single Player. Since everyone in MP has to stay synced, there would be NO way to change speeds in MP, without changing everyone's speed.

Apparently the survey closed once 100 people took it! The OP's link to take it no longer works. If you are curious to see the results, here is a link that still displays results .
[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="19" id="3157851"]The only link to it is this thread and what do you mean by retally?[/quote] Re-Tally, or recount. I was curious if the survey web site was smart enough to prevent accidental re-voting, or duplicate/triplicate submissions, if someone went back to the site to look at later results. After to paying attention to the total number of votes, and revisiting the site several times, I don't believe its making the mistake
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="15" id="3157643"]This is why rating the caps in that survey is nonsense.[/quote] Timmy! Its not "nonsense", but it is opinion, and it is subjective. The caps do fulfill certain roles, but none the less, you can only pick one first. And some people have favorites. And different definitions of what "powerfull" means. IE: the hardest to kill or the most offensive strength? etc., etc. The ranking results gave m
Thanks Volt, for putting up the survery. Very interesting. (There is probably some bias in your lists of underpowered and overpowered abilities), I too was surprised by some of the results. For example: The Kortul as the #1 Vasari Cap ship?! I am curious, who is taking this survey? Or where is it linked from? Only from these boards? And, I wonder, does it retally your (duplicate) results, if you go back in to re-examine the results

[quote]just mildly annoying [/quote] Yeah, it is annoying. And I've run into the same problem. My colony ships aren't autocolonizing. Despite having enough antimatter, and even sitting right next to the planet (ie within range). I think its bugged. I'm beginning to believe that it is associated with turning auto-colonize off at some point, and when you turn it back on, it won't work correctly then. Oddski, do you recall tur
Swordsalmon, there HAS been a few good replays posted (see 421681 & 423929). BUT the problem is: the patchs keep coming so fast (with significant changes). And, that you can't replay the older versions! So, don't expect that you will see too many replays yet, and if you see one, you need to hop on it fast, before it becomes obsolete. There are a few good Diplomacy <a hre

[quote who="shkotay" reply="9" id="3155929"]I can easily see mines, but perhaps because I am still not familiar with all the new abilities yet, I cant find a way to dispose of them, hence they hang around and are invulnerable to attack at the moment. Can you tell me where to find this? [/quote] Sakhari, the Scout's reveal mines ability was fixed in Beta3 (0.96). Shkotay, although you can see the mines, your ships can't!

[quote]The advent have always needed powerful capital ship synergy to win the day. Yet, they have always had difficulty in the game because their capital ships are easier to kill and cannot take nearly the punishment of other ships in the early-mid game, while still COSTING THE SAME. The advent loyalists are more traditional in their strategy, which should mean that the advent's traditional battle strategy should be improved. That is why I propose that the Loyalist a

[quote who="Mrkz81" reply="2" id="3150030"]Did they really revamp all textures? what's new about the UI ? It seems the same to me ?! [/quote] No, but they added shadowing, etc. The UI isn't much different either, just prettier. But you've missed new factions. Rebel & Loyalist for each race. Thus 6 new titans. New tech for each of the 6 factions - so lots of completely new strategy. Also 3 new Capital ships

[quote]Ugh, my saved game file only lasted 28 minutes.[/quote] Frystar, yeah your Replay game file was weird/bad. (I downloaded it before you deleted this). But it is potentially a bug, that should be submitted. Did the replay play correctly for you, for 28 minutes? Because I saw some very odd replay behavior. It never showed your ships moving away from your homeworld, yet it continued showing structures being built there, as well as research being done

It seems out of character! The best ability on an already lackluster ship cut 2/3s?
