Go play and decide if you got any questions later. seems like you got things sussed.

If you could fly the ship manually like in Elite If you like elite type games then Darkstar One is a well done modern version of the "classic" But I agree Muppet Eve is boring and so is Darkstar after the first hour or so. But I can't be all negative, if you loved Elite you'll probably love Darkstar One.

reasonable explanation lol.

and yes, every call gets timed. Point proven.

I can't be bothered listing your inadequacies further, we all know what tech support means these days, My point has been made.

Funny how you expect my company to not have a problem that MANY companies have. I have been online at various times with tech support for eMachines, HP, Dell, Microsoft, and SBC, among others. With EVERY one of these companies I have experienced waits of various lengths. EVERY one. I think you will find I mentioned the problem with customer service as a whole. Just because most companies are useless incompetents doesn't mean you have to sink to the l

Your talking like every customer phones in daily, they don't You just don't give a shit about your customers that need help. I swear if I were your manager I would fire you immediately, but I am not because I wouldn't work for a company that employed nasty haters like you who thinks the customer is a burden on your time. I suggest you either learn your job or work for a company that is prepared to get enough staff to give proper help.

and before you say it, I sort all my problems myself, but I'm fine with computers, some people aren't, and you think, FK them. nice. I simply CANNOT be an expert on every single platform out there, every gaming console, every O/S, and every software configuration. Even if I WANTED to, it is absolutely impossible, what a pathetic operation you must work for if you're the only one who knows anything. Please tell us, who do you work for,

So your service is FREE then, no charge, the customer pays nothing, your a charity. or are you saying that your customers don't deserve help. No wonder people all over the country hate customer support with you assholes on the end of the phone.

Actually, this guy has left us less than willing to do much with him (he called at least 6 times in 2 days, trying to get us to tweak a near perfect connection). We've ensured the connection is there, the rest is up to him. I hate to sound mean, but there's only so much even us tech guys can take. That's customer service for you. With that attitude, you don't need to complain. It surely is pointless. Isn't it always the same. some expe

You would think IE was any good considering that so many people use it. But it isn't, IMO.

I'm sure the devs will give you an answer soon shrikebe, Cant help myself, I'm a total lamer when it comes to the game code, Hope you get fixed soon.

I'm not sure about the gold edition, I'd hope you would get a box and a manual for that order, but after my experience I would expect 2 CD's in a bag. I recommend you ask first.

ough,Painfull,Crippling,Masochistic,obscene and Suicidal all speak for themselves Those names weren't picked at random. Give yourself a culture shock king, If you're realy new to the game select suicidal and see how long you live, Trust me it's fun. P.S. you'll be swearing at a machine like it's shagged you're misses.

That's my problem. I'm not afraid, I will always be more worried by my governments attempts to frighten me than I will ever be scared by the "facts". Yes there are terrorists in our world. they have always existed, We have lived with the threats in the UK for decades without social collapse. My point is, why be scared, why give in, Live your life. Fook them. Also consider this, why is my government trying to make us scared? This is easy. the more were scared the easier

What you grumpy about? I'm grumpy about. This bollox over the middle east. The forced agenda behind Global Warming fast food that tastes like dung. Boring TV. The list goes on Please don't get into flames. Please don't spend loads of time bogging down a trivial thread, lol I'd rather just a few points of view and all arguments please fight somewhere else. If you can.

No matter,

I think the official stand is unchanged, No release of DA anywhere, only online, If you want it you have to get it from Stardock; You can get a discount if you already own DL. But the only option is online unless you pay for Gold edition. I am also from the UK and i paid my $10 for a delivered version, expecting some sort of "proper" release, I expected it boxed and a manual but all I got was a bubble wrap with a CD in a crappy paper wrapper, you know, the

hehe Some things just bring the git out in me, snigger

i love how you ended your question with a period. Et tu, Brute? I refer to your fallacious usage of the nominative singular pronoun while arguing a point of punctuation.

Don't use IE. Sorry if that's not being helpful but it's advice to live by! Equally unhelpful but hell yes.

To be honest I selected rare for everything. How many planets have other players? If most of them are restricted to their home systems and maybe 1 or two more planets, you could still have an intresting game, esp. if you're playing below masochistic. With Humans a viable path would be an alliance victory. That's my point I guess, Every way i went, the planets were useless and the other civs had 3 to 5 planets by the end of the rush, I played on

Best if you post your Debug file, Heres kryo's standard request for info. Please go to C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2 (or wherever you installed the game at), open the debug.err file you find there in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. If this is a DA report, you'll find the debug in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar instead. This will give us some technical information that can help troublesh

What about the ppl that play mostly from keyboard, This will truly piss them off. I drag the screen with the mouse and also click on minimap, I want the screen to zoom into what im looking at not where the mouse happens to be. Not forgetting the edge scroll crowd, they dont want to move the mouse more than they have to. I think zoom is fine as it is.

So why does every ship that travels more than 2parsec/week has to go around starbases,suns, planets,etc.. Just had a thought , If you surround a planet with 8 starbases then surely troop ships could never land unless they bring armed escorts. please don't get bogged down with why this is a silly logistical nonsense, Cause it is. I still prefer fast attack
