BOOM

Please please please fix the looping music and add the jukebox feature!!!

To follow up a bit more to my wish list idea above; you have to get rid of influence starbases and influence ability in order for my idea to work. Since by destroying, stealing or destablizing you are already getting an advantage over your opponents. Also, you cannot set multiple targets with any of those new features. Basically, you choose the ship or building and once it has been delt with, you choose another target one by one. If your espionage ability is higher than the targets and at the same time your spending more money towards the targets nation than you will be successful eventually without getting caught, if not then you will get caught and the empire will declare war on you. The number of turns it will take which the player will know, depends on the difference between your espionage ability and the money allocation to conduct the operation versus the targets. If you want to be really effective, then make sure your espionage level and the money your spending is overwhelmingly high so that you can have success in a few turns. If it's going to take 50 turns then depending on the target it might not be so worth it.

You guys are teh sexiest devs ever. But seriously, big kudos to stardock for actually putting such an emphasis on customer service and creating useful and might I say, awesome, patches. Not to mention the fact that you actually listen to customer feedback and have an awesome website, and yeah... I'll stop there b/c I could go on forever.

Two big thumbs up to Stardock.

Well I'm not sure who your post is directed at but I'm not whining about features that I personally want. I'm talking about features that are listed in the game manual that are still non-existent. Mainly the ability to have custom playlists or at the very least be able to press a key and move the next track (also listed in the manual). There have been many threads about the quality of the music in the game and I agree that it's great.

But it's a pity and kind of insulting to the composer that we never get to hear anything except one track, over and over again.

I don't want to do the winamp or windows media player thing because then the special event music gets mixed on top of whatever is playing in the background and I have alt-tab out of the game to change tracks manually.

I know it's not a big deal to some, but I've always thought that great music coupled with a great game makes for a truly cinematic like experience. People are entitled to their opinion and who are you to tell them to get lost just because there is something about the game they don't like?

blind as well when it comes to the AI checkbox, can we enable via replacing the 0 with a 1?

I swear some of the negative posters are completely delusional.

The game has only been out two months and some of the detractors of this patch expect a complete expansion-worth of content instead of commending the dev team for its incremental improvements.

UI improvements useless?!!! I remember back in the day of Civ3 when it was released without stack movement, it was a tedium to play huge games because it took forever to move your units. Then a subsequent patch added this "UI" feature and it was like an oasis in a desert.

My view of simultaneous combat is of nervous interest, but in a good way. I could see combat playing out very very differently. Armour will be a lot more important as it will help save that extra hit point. Ships won't last as long so you get less of the domino effect with respect to hp/xp gain.

Sigh...

No matter what you'll do, some idiots will always have something bad to say...

Bingjack, you're a real jerk, and your opinion means absolutely nothing Shut up and go play something else instead of spewing your garbage.


Stardock, as always, you ROCK. Keep up the great work!

The negative comments are just hilarious.

The most you get in the ways of support these days, is one or two patches, and these usually do not add content, but fix game breaking bugs. And maybe address some cheats and rather obvious oversights. Then they will tell you that the "patch limit" has been reached, and move to the next project. There are exceptions, but do not expect it.

Or perhaps every little addition should cost a few dollars... Like some other game company believe is the way to handle things. That and NO work on any kind of PC friendly interface.

With SD's ace support, the negative comments just come out like a comedy. What planet are you from. Here on Earth, we consider SD to offer the very best of support.

Well, I don't really see how Faster Than Light propulsion could help you in tactical combat

They can help by allowing you to go back in time....

You wont see it until 1.2. Typo by Frogboy

I think the first strike should have SOME bonus. Perhaps the 1. attack round of the defender should be reduced to 1/2 or 2/3 it's original strength...

Anybody have a spare can of Wife-B-Gone? I need the advanced 3-Day Relief formula with added Kids-Away..

My thoughts exactly. The home remedy for this is to stop taking showers two days in advance and assign chores to any kids in sight.
