Not in phase 2 but it's targetted for phase 3.

Liked most of it, except for the acheivements. Really think achievements hurt multiplayer games- want an example, play Team Fortress 2 tonight.

The hidden gem in the list is NAT negotiation and port selection. Impulse taking that on removes at a stroke the major cause of pain in any multi player. That is a shrewd move, developers and gamers alike will love that on sight - nice one

Yes please, let us know what could be in the list...

Thank goodness someone finally got smart and decided to fix our routers for us.  

Enhanced Espionage: Check
Dozens More: A few more details please!

October is such a looooong time to wait that i must "insist" on getting the bottom line figures since my mods should & will have to adapt to possibly much more features. I could always go back to the 'Please Slam my game' (and plenty of other places!) thread and try guessing what exactly made that all important cut... but as long as you've got everyone all hyped up & salivating over a huge eggs pack mystery - it might be a good idea to expand and define the essentials right here for all to read about.

Me too...might actually USE espionage then.

I am very much stoked for this release. It looks like - as usual - you guys listened to the loud and varied screaming of some, the quiet criticism of others, and the helpful suggestions of the rest and acted upon them. Awesome.

WTB more GC2 info as well, we don't need to know everything, but maybe atleast a bit more than just "enhanced espionage" ?

Don't have to be exact or ruin the surprise effect for us all, simple hints may just be enough.
They are working at it, true... i'd recommend a tiny break of (what) maybe 75 seconds flats to write something, anything to drive us nuts over the *new* features & options.

- I want the Editors perfected to some degree (DA compatibility would be a must)
- Shipyard with green & blue hardpoints, precision interfacing, etc.
- Automated constructors.
And, what -- else.

I can wait, also.
But, it'd be fun to catch a glimpse at least.

~looks at pages of things, but one stands out~ Interesting...


Oooooh, hopefully of the planetary flavor.


Hrm, so the DL version for passive and then DA for aggressive? Or perhaps the placement of spies on empty planetary tiles for the passive placement.....GAH I think I preferred not knowing, mind ran less LOL.


Hrm...distance from races slider? UP voting allowed checkbox?


If it's not just another size catagory...you got my attention for sure. Another size (bigger) would be cool, but mind-blowing would be a 'different' class all together. Or are you talking Arnorian/Dread Lord ship styles?


Hrm, perhaps I'll take some sleeping pills to knock me out until tomorrow afternoon to make this transition quicker. (Note: kids, don't abuse prescription or over the counter drugs).

I think it would be good if for Impulse, when a user looks at a product, there are links to previews and reviews. Also, people can watch live feeds of video previews and reviews from various review websites and also user/gamer feedbacks. I know that for Galciv 2 and Sins, it might not be necessary, but i do notice some of the games on SD central are from indie developers. I am assuming that lists of available purchases will be migrated to Impulse. If i am a casual gamer and i started to use Impulse and i see these lists of games, it would be handy to have all the reviews and previews info handy to help me to decide. Some of the games i try to find other reviews for, i can't even find them online.

Such features if implemented also for all other stardock products would also enhanced advertised potentials for the products as well. I know that there are tons of reviews about windows blinds, and other stardock products. But i think having such feature would definitely set Impulse apart from Steam.

Back to Impulse 2...I seem to have slipped into Yor space this week. It seems to be moving along sooooo slowly.

Looking forward to Impulse 2 so I can try it out along with TA. (I've been holding off buying the upgrade until Impulse 2.) Will it (hopefully) be early in the week?
