We are having this great convo over debt and maybe for corporation sized business then yep its debt funded business model, but any SME knows that cash is king. Maybe the game should reward a positive cash balance more highly, reward the players with zero debt. Come on now, at the moment the only winners are colony banks taking their daily cut of the debt interest. ;) Reward the fiscal conservative and punish those deadbeat debtors.

I watched that game referenced live and am of the same opinion of juzzo, the game should not allow you to stomp ppl like that, Zultar had massive amounts of debt very early on yet the game rewarded him for it. It is something that I see almost every other game and really it is only inexperienced players that suffer. It is sad fact that so long as you can make it to HQ3 and start making some decent profit without losing too much stock, then debt is largely irrelevant, No matter how

Just shout if you want a copy of my replay file as well.

Pretty sure I've seen random claims and free resources in beta 3. Also power prices are different in Beta 3, the price increases quicker and to a higher point than beta2, if it is not an intentional change then there is some leakage or mechanic affecting it, but it has definitely changed in beta 3.

Think I heard about the pool of patents idea from Soren, can't take credit for it sadly.

I like the idea that patents are chosen from a pool for every game. Silicon Dreams / The Sandpit = Silicon scrubbing. Heidelberg - +33% blimp speed or - 33% fuel cost Hydrospheres - Water pumps generate 0.3 power High Frq Trading - ability to short sell resources during Hacker Events or take a 1% "commission" on rival hacker trades Moonshot - -33% to offworld launch times Moisture Traps - power tiles give .5 water Radar Jamming - r

Beta 3 is interesting and an improvement, but the increase in Steel cost has narrowed the viable starting strats and imo pushed alot of ppl into Scientific, if you not going Scav. The 3 Scientific steel mills are too appealing when compared to the alternative Expansive or Robotic play, if you can;t lock up 2 high Alloys then your really struggling to get HQ2 in good time and subsequently your behind in the good claims race. Glass is required for upgrades, but in m

Thursday afternoon should be OK, good excuse for a half day. Do I get to play FFA with you and the team after the match?

Hey Soren, I'm in the UK, GMT +1. When you want to play?

It's not just when using Masq, I've seen it happen on normal names too. If I had to guess, it's caused by someone leaving/bugging when the game initializes,

Senitz and I will play Sunday 18.00 CET. SMG has offered to cast. http://www.twitch.tv/spatosmg

Shift+S the hotkey for solar panels cause the screen to jump downwards.
