Yeah have XP and the weridest thing Slipstream it now only does blind exploration wont show me where the bad guys are on the mini map. I think the game hates me cuz I usally laugh at its tactics (the ooooo lets send lots and lots of troop transports to teach thoses nasty monkey boys a lesson.... Um Admiral I am gettting real tiered of blowing up transports).
CaptainObvious, Great Idea, Infact Gal Civ could do it better than MOO2 did (the Idea is very MOO2ish). First Paragraph... thats a dimensional portal by the sound of it. How about the experiment blows a few of the planet its done on tiles away (lots and lots of energy released). But they know how its done now its a mater of refining it. more research needs to be done. Third Paragraph. Thats Orion in the Moo series you get a BIG technology boost when you ca
Ahhhh but Shbery76 did you ever hot seat a game? vicious brutal and short. Heck it was a fun way to socialize and drink beer during college and grad school. One guy James I think his name was if you broke a treaty with him he would spend the rest of the time in the game hunting you down if he survivied. After a couple times no one broke treaties with him, then again he did not break treaties either. Lots of things people do that cannot be done with AI espically bluff well.<br/
yeah I did and it did not play "clean" if you know what I mean. Glad I grew up on DOS the old Dos commands can still do some good when windoze tells you know............ God I must be a crumudgon cuz I think everyone should know DOS. Duh
I had a power outage during a game and fried the game. Ok uninstall and reinstall everything. Did not unistall everything. So I did an old fashioned delete. The fonts would not delete so I had to rename the and move them. Whats up with that.. PS there went the first game of my Redneck Confederation that I was going to have ranked. Duh. Enjoy your game very much too. many sleepless nights you evil bastatiches.

Fighters Space Leopard (beam armed) Space Wolverine (missle armed) Space Monkey (mass armed ie a poo thrower) or JEB Stuart Longstreet RE Lee The best name I use on my sensor or stalking horse ships (the ones out there that tell me the enemy is coming by dieing) Festering Wound Sacrifical Lamb Battle ships and above I name after Famous Military people.

pedxing, I would settle for 2D. I have found in my experience the prettier the game is the slower the preformance. If they do I hope they dont use the EW and ECW type rules. I might note I was never real good at the game just enjoyed it. I never figgured out why the LDR was a minor player with those gatling phasors...... OOOOOOhhhhh there an idea gatling phasers.... screw the Doom weapons and give me gatling phasers. while ther at it. why not shrink and lower the pr
Call me old fashioned but the turn based fleet battles in MOO2 worked. Even if you went second you did not necessarily have your fleet blown to smitherines. Although late in the game I could pretty much wax a 100ship fleet with 50 titians and not even sweat lossing a ship. I think it would be better if they had something like the old Starfleet Battles (the paper game) for battles. Firing arcs would become very important and when a battle ship has a figate on its tail it woulc not j
What of Zathrus? The true mover and shaker of the whole plot. I would love to see a race of Zathrus(es, Ie??). Sometimes I talk peace, sometimes I talk war, sometimes I talk to walls but with you I talk to and makes me sad so war. Duh

What would I like. What I would like. 1. Option to turn off the pretty planets and rotating moons and such. That takes up processesing resources and gets in the way of spead of the game. 2. That damn auto select ships that are not doing something. Its annoying and cost the player in ships unmoved from the starport. 3. Some times the game does not want to be spanked. I have had a problem with selecting a fleet to spank another fleet. It seems the g
Yeah Tiger I love my Small hull based troop transport near the end of the game with three troop modules my fav troop transport.
Well for me ship design is part of it. On the whole I usally run just behind the curve on weapons tech. So speed.important along with fleet size. Usally till I have rebounders. If I can hit a fleet first before they hit me then I usally wind or there on the ropes and my follow up fleet takes them out easily. Usally I go with guns or missles. I usally do missles if I have have alot of success stealing tech from the enemy. For me at least two engines and one or two weaqpons. Miniturzation
The Auto Focus sucks in the extreme. I play my games on Gigantic. I finished my first game on Challenging just me and the Dregina. I was good. I kicked there asses in every 3 out of four battles yet for about 7/8s the game I was the second rated military power. Sure he had one tech better weapons than me usally. I just struck first and when I lost it was a sacrifical lamb unit to get them in play to drop the hammer. Whats this about the Yor being such bad jammers? Every game I have play
I dont know about you guys but I always choose good because its harders to do. Although I disagree with the save the whales bs in the game. If the economic damage of saving a species is sooo much of a set back do you think, say Washington would of thought twice about putting a bounty on wolves and bears? Dead people pay no taxes. So of the events in the game are too simplistic and do not have far reaching penelties or bonuses. If you save the whales you better have a good reason beside

now I know I will be showing my Age but what about the old SSI game Sword of Aragorn. It was a pretty good game. It really allowed for custom units and stuff Its just too bad its not so expandable.
Some how I think that it will keep bogging know the mental processes of a teenager "If I down load grokster and get a few songs dad will never know". Yeah running them a norton utlities all the time. Well thanks Wicked Flea. All in a a very good game. Just wish there was a tatical fleet module and weapon Arcs. Dreadnaughts would be very frightened of fighters then.
Not complaiining just observing. Used to be a tech writer for logistics dot com. We did the majority of bug hunting. Just observations. Well I guess I was because Spanky the First just handed the Korx there butt on a platter I got all of there money and a peace treaty and was about to complent the first in the Ghengis Khan class Dreadnaught (name Red Assed Baboon). Well, when the galaxy is Gigantic I have found its easier to expand quick
Well there used to be a real difference in high end computing between Intel and AMD. IIRC AutoCAD hated AMD some time ago. This game looks pretty complecated. I was just wondering if that is a problem.
1st on Gigantic glalaxies it bogs down. 2nd on Battle of the Gods it will not let me pick another race. 3rd it crashes a number of times at various points. Is there some way to put the engines and such on the inside of the hulls of ships you design? What of weapon arcs? If a fighter gets in the blind spot of a large ship it can eat the larger ships, ala the old axiom speed is life in fighter circles. Weapon arcs? as f
