I just finished off a metaverse game with DA 1.5X. Fairly standard, like 5 opponents on beginner (yeah I know I will be setting the difficulty higher soon). I was the Korath, and killed off everyone with spore ships and ubber ships (probably getting help by the off defense bug - my ships did seem fairly unstoppable). Anyway, the game posted to the metaverse, but didn't record due to a cheat flag which I found out from the charcter game summary in my profile. I certainly didn't mean to cheat!

During ship combat it would be kind of neat if you could put transporter modules on your ships like in Star Trek to beam away teams onto a ship in an attempt to subdue the crew and steal the ship!!! This idea is kind of out there, and I have no idea how it would work but I thought I would post this idea. Also, for the love of God, improve the animation with ground combat!!!! Make the soldiers look like the default races at least, and change weapon effects to reflect technology level

What I mean to say is is that if you have superior technology, you should be practically invincible. If you are equal in tech, then yes, your shields should be countered with high powered mass drivers, missles, or super beam weapons. Are we all complaining because the computer can't punch through invunerability fields with lazers???? Invunerability fields should be invincible to lazers in the same way that a M-16 is superior to a caveman's club. However, if the computer has phazors or the doo

Exactly why I turn off tech trading. The game is so much better without it, although diplomacy doesn't seem to be used alot. If you have superior shields, your ships should be nearly invincible. Star Trek comes to mind. 'Captain they've apdated!!" In reference to the borg. Your options when facing a ship with superior shielding is to build up your mass driver and missle tech, or hurry production of your own invunerability field or superior shielded ships, beam weapons. What would be nice t

Make Planatary Invasions better and more exciting!!! I am tired of seeing the same soldiers and big happy meal boxes shooting at each other! A few simple animation changes would make ground combat funner to view. For instance if you have phazer technology and your opponent has lazer tech, it would be nice to see your soldiers firing their green beams against the opposition's weaker red beams. Also, make the soldiers actually look like the race if you are playing with a set race.

BTW Avatar Kryo, is there any thought to improving ground combat animations? It would be awesome if there was just a couple of easy to implement animation changes to ground combat.

I like most people here applaud Stardock for the wonderful game and sequeal. I love watching ship combat! Usually, the first time I get into a ship battle, I usually watch it over and over again, like I am actively in a Star Trek movie or something. Love the way you can design ships and watch them fight! Now, this is not a complaint really, but I would love to see better animation for ground combat. It would be so awesome if you could see the asteroid strike for example if you use that opti

I have to be honest. I think the shirts you can buy are lame. They only have one little symbol in the upper left part of the shirt. I think it would be cool if each race had some cool graphic design on the back. Also, I think it would be neat if you could send your favorite ship you designed and made it into a shirt. Just some thoughts.

With all the Betas I have seen that when you colonize a new planet, it will say "never" in the amount of time to build a social project box. When you click on one of the focus buttons and then click it off, it will then correctly show the number of turns to build the project based on production.

In the normal game and in metaverse games, every civ has access to every tech. So, there are no civ-specicfic techs. I believe there are alignment specific techs though.

I League???? A minor race that isn't so minor? What do you guys mean by I-league? The rest of us must study and prepare for this new foe. They remind me of the borg........resistance is futile.
