Very interesting game Chainsaw! I love the idea!

Well, the TA game i spoke about doing is in the garbage, along with TA. I recall now why i never got into TA upon release, it sucks. That is of course my opinion and as opposed to DA. I really cannot get into it. TA doesn't feel like GC2 to me, more of a total conversion mod or something. The tech trees are horrible (i know there a good mods out there for TA) and the gameplay just feels lethargic. I'm not looking for a debate or anything, i know plenty of f

And it's a level playing field, it's the same for everyone, i see no reason to change it. If it bothers you that much, sell the ship on turn 1 and go ahead and build your lesser ship. Problem solved. (if there was one to begin with...) Hang on, let me back up. You do realize that the AI know where all the planets are don't you? I can't recall the debate about this, it was 6 years ago, but if you take away your Survey ship you only nerf your own ability to scout

Early game anomalies can make or break a game? I don't know how you play, but one of the first ships i build is another survey ship. Within about 10 turns you can tech enough for a bit better engine tech, more min bonuses and the survey module. For the hull, w

Nice, that looks really cool. I often build in a federation style, or at least a Star Trek style. How many times i have tried to build a Romulan Warbird escapes me, have never done it any justice though!!!

Thanks Mina!! I had been looking for a new avatar for a while, it needed to be both evil and yet still look amazing! I think this fits the bill perfectly, also, it brings focus to the eye much like the ToE avatar does. :)

[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Sounds great! I love the Yor. From lore standpoint, the yoy are probably my favorite race!

hehe

Thanks for the math guys! If it wasn't mumble who figured out about mil score it would have been Purge or Mag, but i too think it was Mumble. @ Gaunathor thats ok mate, as long as others are enjoying reading about everyone's games too!!

Would they really care if it meant people were migrating to the new OS? I have to say though, i don't even understand why MS is going with metro? It's not like MS dominate the tablet market or anything? It would be one thing if MS tablets were the dominate device, but are they? i don't know anyone using a MS OS on anything other than their desktop, so why even bother with metro in the first place. Only tablet users will really love it. (generally speaki

Please do! I'd love to hear how that would turn out. I've been keen on doing a small map with all AI for some time. I think it will be very intense! Looking forward to seeing how your game turns out!

Awww, was looking forward to a final stand with Kona. Oh well, version 2.0 may develop just as well! :)

I finally had time to mess with Win8. I couldn't be bothered messing with my drives, so a virtualbox install was what i did. Well, my original impressions were wrong. Win8 is much, much worse. For those who have the opinion, "embrace change, don't be put off by learning something new", you can stop reading now. I don't buy that argument in this instance. It's horrible!! If i wanted a completely different UI experience, i would install Linux, or buy

Nice games guys! Particle, i think the 100% only works with Super Breeder. Other than that, and not including any other improvements or bonuses, if your green, your getting good growth. SoleSoul will know the exact math though, i'd have to look it up. As for the mil score, this late in the game, i'd doubt it would even register at all. I say if you don't need them, don't worry about them!! :)

[quote who="Jafo" reply="377" id="3105656"]All that SDC [v2] needs is one wee little option....IRC.[/quote] This would be great for those of us who don't really bother with IRC, being able to acess it easy would be a huge plus! I havent used the stardock #irc since you could access it through Impulse! (or was it via ready to play? IDR) I'm guessing at this point, If Jafo's pestering about IRC being in the new and improved SDC hasn't worked, nothing else w

I'm getting ready to start my new TA game (finsihing up yet another playthrough of borderlands) and ill have a whole range of ships...i havent designed in TA for a few years, so i will be spending Alot of time in the shipbuilder!

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="4" id="3105165"]You can't. Early in the campaign, certain weapon and defense techs are not yet available. [/quote] Sorry, i didn't realize this was specifically pertinent about the campaign. :)

[quote who="warkbt" reply="2" id="3104967"]If you see the save file, you will notice these questions: 4) How do I build a fighter ship with beam defense or missile damage? (Note that the tech tree is nearly completed) 5) A planet full of banks is useless? 6) I should pass to the following difficulty or should I wait? 7) The tech tree hasn't the trade module, but has the techniques of colonize toxic planets and mining the asteroids that are usele

I was going to report this last night Jafo, but the user sign up date threw me a bit. @Sean...LOL

Loving this so far mate!!! +2 for all your effort! (the image posting alone..oy vey) :)

Fair enough then. Working fine for me; Win7x64, Bitdefender 2012. Installed fine, working with no issues.

[quote who="Philly0381" reply="356" id="3104887"]Waiting on the release of SDC[/quote] Whats this then? Beta?

W00t! Installed...awesome work guys!
