Come on, even Windows which costs at least 5 times more than the game does not need to re-activate every 10 days! It's this kind of mentality that drives people away: they are treated like criminals from the very first moment. They are guilty before the trial. How much freedom has to be sacrificed for 'security'? And don't they realise it's only legitimate users that are going to be affected? Pirates would crack it and not have to deal with it. As theInquirer says, that's what makes Piracy: The

Hmm, I just checked the debug file and it gives a few clues: [quote] Debug Message: Error, Serial in save game and serial in registry do not match. If you have recently re-installed, you may have switched your keys. Debug Message: PostGameToServer: Post failed. RPC error code: Debug Message: Raw response from Server: Debug Message: Debug Message: Error, Serial in save game and serial in registry do not match. If you have recently re-installed, you may hav

One thing that comes to mind, apart from fixing some of the bugs already there, is to fix the constructor system, as another person said. My solution is that whenever building a constructor it goes directly to the nearest starbase with needs upgrading. The user can stop it if he wants, so he can take it wherever he wants. Or: there could be another generic rally point which points to the nearest starbase so that instead of going automatically the user chooses that mode. Thus it becomes

How about any antivirus programs? Or any sort of utilities these people have installed on their computers? Would they be able to interfere with the game, or conflict in any way so that this happens?

verkinix: Some quickie answers: For the custom ships, you can play the scenario map Battle of the Gods (or something to that effect) where all the technologies are researched and go from there. Unfortunately you can't use the ship editor outside the game... Sandbox games are just normal games you play through the New Game button. They are called like that because you set your own goals and have fun. No predetermined scenario rules. Just like a playground sandbox. The metaverse

I found Steam extremely annoying updating my games without asking. It hogged up my connection and if the patch broke saved games... well I was pissed off..

That's weird, I have Vista as well and it doesn't happen. Have you guys that have the String problem, have a Standard account and not an administrator? Or did you download and install the game without giving Stardock Central Administrator rights?

Ugh... I keep away from Norton and MacAfee.. In my opinion they are worse than viruses, taking over the machine and preventing anything from running at any kind of appreciable speed. They [i]used[/i] to be good, but they succumbed to the overblown hype of "I can do anything" (and take down your computer with it). AVG more than does the job for me for well over a year and I hope it doesn't go that way, although its site has gone from the friendly "indie" look to megaprofessional clean, s

Maybe you could add that for the Drath, if one is into spending ability points, you could invest in the Population Growth ability. Otherwise, it looks good from what I read :)

Well, my point exactly: Why put out 'new games' instead of improving the one they have. They just do it to get the money. I suppose if they were any good, or adding any content or being more original they would be worth the time and money. But if they are just minor updates and being full priced, that's just ripping off. Oh and putting out an expansion pack just to patch the game and bringing it to playable standard does not constitute and actual expansion pack :grrr: Now if it's what t
