there are lots you can download from the library



while i agree that it'd be exceedingly nice, i've tried to figure out how those textures work on my own and it's really hard! i think it'd be hard to add that many new components - though perhaps they could save a bit of time by re-using some common wireframes with different textures (i'd certainly like to see improved textures for the old ship components from DL that didn't get them in DA).

Yes, and I used downloaded logos and racepics a lot (have 140 racepics by now, some from my private Star Trek picture collection ). The point I want to make is that it would be nice to have them already installed in the main game, not necessarily those from modders from the library, but new ones.

I'd be interested in the idea previously mentioned @ Designing Starbases. What would be also pretty interesting is if you could customize responses/text from a customized race you create. What would also be cool is if, a particular ship could be hailed and a comms image of the commander/captain would appear and the text would also be spoken in different voice sets and so on.

For individual races? Well, I was hoping for a sort of integrated tool to modify it, so the user could directly do so along with the race customization in-game.

I have to agree with Bl4cksh33p on the multiplayer thing. I would love to see it. Not to long ago me and my friend had a small lan party, just me and him. There was suppose to be more of us, but we were the only ones to show up lol. Anyway, we tried to play Dread Lords only to find out that there was no multiplayer and that metaverse was single player that kept record of your wins and stuff. We were very disappointed. We even resorted to playing Master of Orion 3....that's how bad we wanted to play a semi-current space based strategy game and MOO3 was the most current one we had. I love turn-based strategy games for multiplayer. I still play Birth of the Federation with my friends and Galactic Civilizations, especially Galactic Civilizations II and its expansions, is way better than Birth of the Federation, so I beg you guys to make a multiplayer! lol

What's GC2: gold. I just have the first one before DA. Dose this mean that I have to get 2 expantions. Within a few months of MP3,too. Ouch!

GC2 Gold is a combination package of DL (which you already have) and DA.

Can I use my tokens on TGN to purchase Twilight of the Arnor. I do not see an option to do that.

I'd buy TA for sure, even if it ends up getting bundled with the other games again (Cause honestly, I don't trust online purchasing too much).

Which brings up the question anyhow: Are you gonna release TA on storeshelves as well, or only online?

Looks like it's going to be online only, at least for now. If you order a CD it will likely be just the CD in an envelope as with DA.

LOL, yep, sounds like he is using up most of his 10MB hard drive just as memory. Might need to reconfigure his HIMEM settings.   

First, are there suppose to be screen shots of TA somewhere? I didn' t see any but the prteview screen says "screenshots". thers only the box shown there.


Are there going to be any changes to Diplomacy / race relations? i didnt see it listed but i wasnt sure iuf that meant there definietly wasnt going to be any. Just wondering since i posted a bunch of ideas way back for new ways to wroks relations with opponents.

That is NOT right. I am supposed to have access to all products including GCII products and add-os with my credits from TGN. It's time for Frogboy to step in andcorrect this .
