Stardrive 2 is already much, much better than SD1. Trust me. Galactic Civilizations 3 is fun for the first time since it became available, but the ship combat and the diplomacy are so bare bones that it doesn't remain so for very long.
Yeah, these bugs are annoying, especially the two units in the same file in both tactical and strategy maps. I also hate how units get stuck in the movement even though they're being attacked in the strategy map. It looks sloppy.
This games needs to be done tomorrow with all of the features promised. I need it.
Wow, all of this unrest over unrest. I for one, enjoy the mechanic. It's realistic and it's challenging to overcome, which adds to the strategy concerns. i don't remember any of this dissent when it was introduced in Legendary Heroes. i say stick with it, Frog. We can give feedback once it's introduced. How long until the opt in beta choice?
Agreed. There is very little consideration for building this buildings. At least a mana cost.
I figured this would gather a few more signatures. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!? :)
I would really like to start seeing the Minor Faction mechanic as it's intended and whatever else you guys can throw at us to really dig in to the game more. We, the undersigned, simply ask that you allow us the choice to break the universe through imperfect beta of the beta builds. /signed
I think he's taking just as much inspiration from Star Control with SK and that's anything BUT souless.
Dude they're all coming from what I understand. Worry not. Brad has made it clear that minors aren't implemented yet.
[quote who="TrashMan" reply="8" id="3499882"] What? No customizing your main hero? But what if I hate Relias and his kin? What if I don't want to play an altarian? What if I hate the main heros apperance? [/quote] From what they said in the last dev stream, each sovereign will have a different starting hero. Expansions could feature other factions!
This guy is a fantastic tester. His feedback is worthy of praise! ☺
[quote who="Tattyhat" reply="27" id="3499715"] From what I have seen and played so far Frogboy, this could very well be your best game to date. [e digicons]:)[/e] I only ask one thing. When people start shouting for harder, tougher, more challenging. Have a thought for the normal casual players, whom only wish is to play a game and hold no f

Also, any plans to allow us to equip SOME weapons to our trained units? They're so pathetic towards the end game.
First off, I love the new map look. If the SK has held dominion over the land, then the world SHOULD look beat up and desolate. You can still accomplish that with a variety of biomes, so please don't neglect the need for variety. Definitely better than the maps we have, though. I think it's still immersion-breaking that they're all so cheery right now. I like the idea of our borders expanding the cheeriness and making headway on repairing the devastation. Se
Brad do you think we'll see opt-in betas with minors next week? This is a very good patch a week out from release! Keep up the good work!
[quote who="Gandhialf" reply="81" id="3499490"] Quoting XWerewolfX, reply 78 I'm not sure why you'd expect friendliness when you've filled your review with semi-personal attacks and general objectively untrue statements. Do you mean objectively untrue statements about the game
[quote who="Dr Franknfurter" reply="70" id="3499444"] Either way I certainly feel I cannot possibly remove the unfriendly developers comment. It is an opinion, I don't think anyone has a friendliest developer survey that I can quote for this game... but even if there was such a survey your actions: calling reviewer arrogant, dismissing suggestions... that isn't, in my opinion, friendly.

We'll keep honing our skills and getting better at the whole podcast thing and keep all of this great feedback in mind. I'm super passionate about 4X games, so I hope to keep doing stuff like this and keep asking questions that are relevant and dig a little deeper than your average gaming site! Glad you all liked it!
[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="7" id="3499239"] Beyond the podcast itself, I find this cool for two reasons: 1. you landed Brad for the podcast and 2. Brad was willing to do it. Pretty neat imo. [/quote] He didn't even hesitate. He's a class act!
[quote who="marlowe221" reply="1" id="3499033"] Great interview. I really enjoyed hearing Brad (Frogboy) on the -cast. Edit: OK, I know this might sound like a fanboy statement, but the more I learn about this game the more excited I get about it and about being a part of the beta. [/quote] 100% agree. I love the DM idea and how the minors will participate. I just hope we see it implemented how it's being presented. It sounds too g

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="43" id="3498721"] Why do you think the Steam forums are so toxic? [/quote] This is a legitimate question, because they are toxic on every level, despite the game or the developer. It gets even worse when there is even a shred of controversy in the developer's past. Why are gamers so angry? I've more than once states that the worse thing about the hobby is the culture surrounding it. So much anger and entitlement. Don't try to talk ab
No, they should be separate. Don't try to shoehorn them in!
