My, I messed alot, but Hello Ranafuineluva. Glad to see you enter this discussion we're having here. But i am an engineer and i would really like to see more sound weapon descriptions You're an engineer that's pretty interesting actually. I guess you could call be an aspiring engineer, as I'm taking up engineering in college. I completel
I'm all for it. As I said before if we end up with a better much more fun to play game, at the ecpense of some time I can't say no. I would hate make you rush a game out the door that you didn't think was really finished. Holding a beta is also a good Idea. People would get to play it before the actual releace and get to help the development along in the process. As for suggestions for the compilation box I've got two suggestions. 1. GalCiv 2: Ultimate Edition : an edition expa
For the record I would be all for it. It may delay the releace for a bit but if it makes the game better for everyone how could I said no. I believe I saw some others asking for a beta on another thread to.
The projectile would have to also have a warp-field generator to keep up with the missile tech and surpass it in usefulness. Not necessarily. Dont forget missiles have an explosive warhead that can be detonated by a shot from an anti misile mystem. Allowing them to go faster than light both, hetps them to get to the target more quickly and avoid
But it's easy to forget that Stardock is not EA Games. The GalCiv team is (IIRC) six or seven developers in the middle of a massive expansion, and probably already burning the midnight oil. And now reworking a storyline and deciding if new features can/should be implemented. A challenging task if ever there was one, especially with October looming. <b
Floaters were from UFO Defence, not Terror from the Deep. TFTD had ... $#!t, I don't know what the equivalent was in TFTD. Maybe Tasoth? Or Deep Ones? I know. But it was still pretty amazing when I finally got it to happen for the first time in game. But r
Anyway, quick sanity/definition check: if we had a weapon that summoned mass between an enemy ship and us, would the weapon really be a sonic weapon? Or would it be something else that was analogically similar? It would only be a sonic weapon, IF, you send a sound wave through that mass. Else it would just be another mass driver.
In one of my more recent games the Thalians were situated in the middle of a large galaxy and started getting planets flipped by the Arceans who were doing very well at the time. Then there was a cultural backlash against the Arceans, giving them a huge jump in influence. Needless to say the Thalians soon declared war and pretty much wiped them out. With a little help from me of course. They were doing really well through the game until i betrayed out alliance and wiped them all out before finis
Ouch. Hope you feel better though. The waiting is killing me to. They must be having some real discussion going on over the entries if they are taking this long. either that or they are concentrating on their work. Either way we will get the results. We just need to be patient, though it is hard at times.
I hadn't realized that Master U had left. Sure he hasn't posted is the past few days, and sure his last post didn't look promising for us, but is that any reasonto believe that he has truely gone never to come back. If you have any proof that he has truely gone please share it with us, otherwise I will stay for the time being. In the event that he did leave we should try to enstate a new emperor. This is the only real active Star Wars based empire since most of the members of the Jedi Republic w
Sonic Death Scream Ray? I doubt that anyone mounts sonic death rays on their tanks in real life. Though if you want to use them I would recommend playing "X-Com: Terror from the Deep" as mentioned earlier in the thread. It's a great game, and reducing alien scum into bags of jelly is very much an enjoyable part of it. *Floater Commander
okay, that right there makes me hope they did NOT put that one in. My policy is, no tentacles, no furries Unfourtionately we won't find out what they did or did not put in until they finally announce the winners. Which will hopefully be soon. They did say today at the latest.
Huzzah! Enjoy yourself. Its a great game.
19 here.
You've decided to incorporate the giant space-arse with tentacles that I suggested, right? I knew I was onto a winner there. Awesome! Aw man... Now why didn't I think of that.
Whoa I understand now. Glad I could help. Now with the Sonic Weapons we are talking about. Using a beam of particles,
An interesting idea, though I think that not having any say over what you're spending your time/money/whatever to reverse engineer from the wreckage might be a bit too much of a penalty. True it was just a suggestion really. You could make it so you could pick what to reverse engineer. No more than one item though from the wreckage if there are m
This makes sense from both a game balancing perspective and a realism perspective. In real life, it's easier to master that which is only slightly out of one's grasp. The bigger the learning curve, the harder it is to reverse-engineer anything. I agree. I think i have a way it might be able to work if ever implimented. Say a ship/fleet is destro
Because there were so many good entries, we're going to expand the prizes beyond what we had originally said so that there will be more people receiving prizes. Also, because some of the ideas are so good and interesting, I'm seeing how much of the story can be altered and adding some new specific features in order to put them in. Some of the concepts sub
t's not so much a question of enough power as enough mass to transmit a shockwave. Ships would need to be surrounded by sufficiently dense mass to transmit the motion. Sound and and other shockwaves that propagate through matter just don't make effective weapons in space. By definition the concept just doesn't work. You have to find some other way to transmit energ
Could you explain this a little further? I may be wrong on this point, but everything I have learned on the subject suggests otherwise. I do agree that sound is a pressure wave through a medium, and I also agree that space is also a medium to an extent. However, to say it has nothing to do with radio waves and such, since they are measured by frequencies, just as sound, I
One spybot search and destroy link comming right up. WWW Link
Yeah, if your system is running better now your problem was most likely spyware. That stuff is notorious for eating resources and not allowing you to shut down properly. Insideous stuff really. I used to use norton, but that seemed to cause alot of system slowdowns, Best switch you'll ever make. Norton is just bad. <TABLE cellpaddin
It wouldn't be a sound wave cannon, or a sound producing weapon. It would be a laser. Why would you use a laser as a sonic weapon? Sonic weapons deal with sound. Lasers just produce light of a uniform frequency in a single dirrection, not sound. <T
Ive heard about AVG its supposed to work pretty well actually. I'm not too fond of Spybot though it never seemed to find anything that anything else I ran did. It is free so you can go ahead and try it if you want, but it never seemed to work that well for me.
