Cari, I also have that bug where I see ALL ship components (weapons, etc) in my designer regardless of whether I have researched them or not. Further Bug: In my game (tough difficultly with associated intelligence), none of the AIs are building military ships and they also are not building star bases or construction ships (although they built colony ships early on). I did alt-tab at one point, and when I returned that seems to be when the lack of building started. Perhaps the fix for th

[quote]yes, because everyone in the world needs to adopt the same FREEDOM AS #1 PRIORITY WOOOOOOOO viewpoint as americans right?i would assume you're a troll as that's amazingly over the top but meh whatever[/quote] I'd prefer not to have governmental officials slaughtering my own people by the tens of million. Liberty is pretty damn important in that case, huh? I hate to break it to your 17 year old idealism, but there are some ideas that are good, and some ideas that are bad.

mightygoobi, your proselytizing of the Chinese government is superb, and perhaps some less intelligent Americans will believe every word. Frankly, I don't. You claim you can speak out against the government (without getting shot, hah). Thats fantastic, but here in America, we can CHANGE our governmental leaders. In fact, we can CHANGE the entire party of the government. Why is that possible? Because we had the balls to FIGHT for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_revolution Also,

Interesting naming method arnotol, I do something similar (but usually without the weapon/def/eng stats). I usually prefix with race (like Terran, or for longer race names something shortened like Alt for Altarian), then follow with a size designator (tiny - fighter; small - frigate; medium - destroyer; large - cruiser; huge - battleship/dreadnought) and finally with a model designation (incrementing with improved stats and modules. For example: Alt Destroyer Mk1 (firs

Great game, well deserved score! Good work SD and Brad.

Brad, I love you and Stardock more then you can imagine. This is looking AWESOME.

It's definitely worth getting. Even at this stage of beta, it's better then almost every expansion that I've ever played.

Oh, and I should mention that I am very excited regarding your next game. Let us hear/see it soon please!

I agree with the above poster. The launch date is irrelevant to me. Keep up the great work SD :D

Awesome looking expansion Stardock! Can't wait till it's done.

Congrats Stardock! Well deserved.

I love you Stardock!

oh my god...

To the OP: When you USE sentences with RANDOMLY CAPITALIZED words it makes what you say SEEM to be REALLY IMPORTANT when it frankly ISN'T. Stardock are not only handsome manly beasts, but they are also the only down-to-earth game developer ON THE PLANET (caps clearly for extra superly-duperly emphasis) that actually listens to their customers. Don't knock them because you are paranoid about giving your name out on the internet. SDC is great and extremely convenient.

Totally agree with many of the above posters. Take your time Stardock, your work is already fantastic, more time can only help to keep it that way.

This is very simple, I am not sure why you guys are writing walls of text. Stardock owes no one ANYTHING except for the original retail release of the game (should the game have been acquired legally). They already provide MORE then that. Essentially EVERYONE is free to play this game as it can be obtained legally (through retail purchase), marginally legally (through second hand), and illegally (through piracy). Due to Stardock's OVERWHELMINGLY generous philosophy of not including copy

themocaw, have you ever considered writing a novel (if you haven't already)? You should.

Awesome story! Keep it coming!

Why does "every" computer need to be patched All my other games (DoW, Civ, SC, SMP) all have downloadable patches that I get with my mac. this system is way worse. It comprimizes my computer. Plugging the internet in to your PC "comprimizes" the computer? What the heck do you have on that computer? Nuclear launch codes? Trying to protect from a Cylon infiltration or something? StarDock does

Hah, awesome review. Especially with Col. Tigh. He's frakin awesome.

Yeah, I hope Brad and Stardock was as successful with DA as they were with DL. DA is a great game and I hope the numbers respect that fact. SD has earned it.

I personally feel the pace is fine, ships seem a bit slower, but other than that, feels great (better imho).

I always rush the econ techs. That along with one farm per planet (and around 4 or so econ buildings) means that I blow away the AI by the mid-late game.

Good to hear Frogboy.

Alright, I understand that kryo, but a ship that can stand up to 800 damage? With tech maxed out is that possible (and still have the ship have enough weps to do dmg)? And since DL ships always seem better then what you have, when I get to massive hauls and maxed techs, won't it be like 1500 dmg? The scaling seems a bit messed up.
