Hypothetical, Situational Conversation of One Side : "Yes, Mister Mechanic of The Car Dealership. Each time I start my car I am losing a gallon of fuel. I've determined that this can be made less detrimental by making many destinations in one trip; also by leaving the car running as long as possible, even at work and at home while I'm sleeping. It's great that you can fix this for me! Thank you. No...I wouldn't rather prefer first that you update my nice rims a

The "insurgents", as the liberal TV and newspaper media like to call them, are Islamo Facists supplied and funded by Iran.

He is the talk radio host of 'The Savage Nation' and author of four number one best selling books. He is a Conservative Independent, not a Democrat or a Republican.

I've been trying to make some sense of the carrier thing and just had a thought. What if you had a module, ideally a very large module, which could be placed on capital ships. This module would be called a carrier bay, and its affect would be twofold. First, it would cause this ship in question to act as a range extender, like a starbase, for small and tiny hulled ships. Second, it would cause the speed of any small or tiny ships fleeted with this ship to be t

Could Stardock make a new ship "weapon" called "Fighter Bay" in wich the firing graphic is that of a group of fighters? When the weapon "hits" the target the graphic "sticks" to the target and causes peridoic damage(little fighters buzzing around the target and shooting it) until the fighters must return to "resupply" or are destroyed by point defense weapons or enemy "fighter groups". The weapon's("fighter group's") targeting priority would first be enemy "fighter groups" and then enemy

tech trading with the minor races is a good idea - I've found that the minor races will give a lot of techs for the advanced colonisation techs, which is odd as they can't actually use them). Well, the minors could use the colonization techs to trade to our opponents or allies. Consider all implications of trading technology.

Yes, I fondly remember Ascendancy and recently tried it again. It's too old now and I was reminded of the near absent AI. That 'Elite' game sounds similiar to 'Space Rangers 2, Rise of the Dominators'. I've played SR2 a little. It's a solid game that I recomend but I've been busy with a couple other games for now. Stardock Central features it now.

Space Empires V is a much more modern and better looking game than Space Empires IV. It has game play options and ways to play galore. This is still just a 100 turn demo with limited playable features activated. There are some notable enhancements it needs as you'll see by visiting the forums mentioned above.(Shrapnel is the most active for now.) Some being commonly mentioned are some parts of the user interface, some play options from SEIV removed/altered, and debates about the research stlye.<

The inner surface is used like billions of planets. Gravity is from rotation, "gravity generators/plates", neutronium plates, or even the mass/gravity of the structure. In Space Empires IV and the soon to be released Space Empires V there are both Ringworlds and "Sphereworlds". They are highly advanced, late game technologi
