lol, so the Humans are the Dread Lords? its like one of those time paradox loops where the humans at some point got sucked into a pocket universe, they developed and became the immortal mithrilars who created the Arnor and Dread Lords, who created the humans... who became the immortal mithralars, who created the arnor and dread lords, who created the humans, who became the.... see where I'm going? its an infinite loop, but a loop has to have some sort of origin, which is why its a paradox. Its

I don't know myself, but you could ask Kryo, he's the one who has done that Kryo's hull system mod. with that mod you can create truly leviathan ships.

the huge hulls are useful against pirates though, I often create a ship class called pirate killers or pirate hunter/killers, something along that line which is a huge or large hull. Its actually just a very specialized type of ship that I use sometimes when I need to take out pirates that are harassing me or are just plain getting in the way. Even if the pirates are harrassing my enemies, they don't make any distinction between who is an ememy of who, so if they pose a problem to me, I just try

I usually obsolete the core designs anyway because they clutter up the shipyard governor list.

I usually go for beam tech, although the AI often times goes for the shields (the ones that work against beam weapons) when they see me go for beams, but most of the time the AI does missile or mass driver tech and get bogged down by the high research cost of those branches while I forge on with the beam tech.

oh the mind control center affects economy? I thought it was suppoused to make enemy planets flip to you faster. The problem with that one is that it's labelled as doing something but doesn't actually do it.

I probably will soon, ok, lol

I haven't submitted any metaverse games or created any characters, thats probably why.

well I don't see them... wierd. although I can see them when I view your profile.

and not everybody does the metaverse, so it doesn't neccesarily mean that something is wrong with IE

if it's on your side it always means you offer it. While that is perfectly true and correct, it doesn't make the Surrender feature anything less than utterly useless. Cheers, Reaver yea I'd rather fight to the end than surrender. also, I don't think the mind control center is working right, or maybe I don't un

4X strategy games like GalCiv2 and the Civilization series are just popular I'm a fan of those type games myself. although, it could be possible to have role playing elements through a campaign of some kind which allows multiple paths. still, a strategy based game with magic/fantasty elements is cool <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm

well, I'd certanly like to help beta test the DA expansion I've had a little experience with beta testing in MMOs, but beta testing a single player game is different from beta testing a patch/update to an MMO. and I'd certainly want to have the expansion be as good as it can get

mine was a plastic case, did you try looking on both sides of the paper CD holders? and it would be strange for the serial to be missing.

I am sooooo looking forwad to the death of the load a saved game miss a production phase bug. Ding Dong the last real bug is dead. yea, that one definetly needs to be hammered out, and hopefully the AI will be much much better with the new patch fix. and I'd like to see a change log too.

lol, nice one

we don't know what race will be killed off yet. although it would be cool if there were scattered remnants (say less than a billion scattered around the galaxy, remnants of an empire with 300 billion people) of the two races that were destroyed because even with tons of invasions, etc, theres bound to be some members of that race elsewhere. I haven't done the campaigns, so I don't know much about the background story of the various races.

I always send them to the stars closest to me and just keep going outwards, having the survey vessel go around looking at the star systems helps too.

I agree, the alien tech report could use some organization, and I use the diplomacy window as well.

um, somehow the text in the OP is black and you have to highlight it, just saying as thats wierd.

yea this happens to me all the time, and its annoying

maybe it was on the plastic covering of the CD? sometimes they are. I have no idea what could have happened with the serial number unless its elsewhere in or on the box.

Bought a copy today. Can't find a seriel number anywhere on my case either a new or used copy? and I don't know why you wouldn't be able to find the serial.

hmm, you're right, I haven't seen them do those hyperion buildings, I do normal difficulty though. but even on that difficulty they should build a few. I've seen them build those spin control centers a few times but I don't think thats a Hyperion building.

I've had the browser crash thing, but it was very rare and seemingly random, hardly any effect since I could jump back in. although with the new forum setup, the performance is better. also try doing cookie deletion and temp internet file cleanup? that usually helps with some forum issues.
