Cevohcam

Well the game was officially released on the 20'th, with a patch on the 21st. A revision to this patch was posted on the 26th. 2 business days to get a patch to (theoretically) solve all the problems that were caused with the previous patch? Thats not all that bad. slightly peeved, waiting for a patch that would have already been out if it was for GC2 To be honest, I have had issues with the game since day one, more than 5 or so invasions per ga

I can't imagine trying to defeat 10 Krogoths without very carefully moving my commander for d-gun purposes. I cant either, mainly because if you take your comm on a d-gun run against 10 Krogoths you will not survive. The death explosion is too powerful. At best, you could hope to take out one.

Like Kryo said, it is simply a random event. Although I have not played DA yet, I had a DL game, where I got the increased economic prosperity event early on, and it lasted nearly all game. Is this a good thing? No. 7 games years later the economy returned to normal, and because of the massive military buildup, all civilizations were thrown into a recession. All it does is really add an element of randomness to the game. Games are not supposed to be too easy, there must be things like

How about adding an additional module? "Hyperspace Cores"? Or something with a similar intent. Although i have not played the DA beta, power plants have been added to planets to boost production, why not have a requirement for power cores on ships with max speed based on how many cores you have. I am not sure if this is a new idea or not, however it seems that it would make ship design and balance between speed, weapons, defense, and power, a little more complex. I would perso

Cevohcam, when you saw that behavior in the past games, were the Vengance ships fantastically weaker than all your combat ships and well-established bases? 1 laser attack, small hull, and thats it. None of my star bases had any defenses as they were all well within my own teritory, and I had strong boarders. Typically my ships have 50-200 attack/

I don't know how closely related this is, but in my most recent 1.4x game, the Drengin surrendered to me without any kind of notice; I have also had several war and surrender screens go missing... it is a little annoying wh

Do they fleet up? Do they try things like waves of fleets to take down a starbase or real combat fleet? I have generally seen them all retreat to there home system, taking out whatever un-defended ships or stations in there way. Once they retreat and re-group, they do generally fleet up. At least in my games.

Marcathonas, I am speaking of customization that would not raise a cheat flag in the metaverse. I was inquiring as from my understanding, any change in the main game data files, raises a cheat flag in the metaverse. My main questions were to see if any additonal options would be included, and my question was answered.

I asked for an entry field for the star name, but so far that has not been added. With modding, you should be able to create your own custom star system and name the stars and planets there. Would this still raise a cheat flag for metaverse games? (If you did the modding) Anyway, its good to hear that there will be some new options. Tha

But are there any other options being considered to be added? I am thinking along the lines of the following: Deciding where your starting alignment will lean? Having the ability to dictate the number and quality of planets in your home system (limited by some sort of a points system of course) i.e. you have X PQ points, and you can assign Y to one planet, and the remaining Z to another, as long as the point’s equals X. Select custom graphics for your ho

1. Free passage - At the moment, there is no restriction on passage through ones territory. Is'nt it possible to add a feature to allow for limitation on passage through ones territory? Or atleast having limitation on allowing military vessels passing through your territories, then allowing freighters, colony ship, constructors passing through...? As a diplomatic trea

Just a quick question for some of the developers: Seeing as the ability to customise your opponents in DA will be put into effect, are there any plans to add more options for customizing your own race?

Actually, I am not using the mod... Personally, I'd like to see these in the regular game. For some reason, I am really reluctant to use mods. Oh well... Well, Kryo is a SD employee, so it is a quasi official mod. Can this mod be used in the Metaverse?

With the tech tree, I think that it is kind of strange that all races get the same techs mostly. I think that the races should develop in different ways and the only way of getting special techs that only other races have access to would be by stealing, spying or trading. I also like the idea of a tech that can terraform a 0 class planet into a habitable one. <

Disbanding colonies in 1.3+ sets the class to 0 so the world cannot be reused by anyone. Is this true for all planets? As I have tried this a few times with version 1.31, and it only seems to work for me on low class planets. Higher class planets will not have there class reduced to zero.

I have never seen it get to that point before, but I have seen it get close. It can get frustrating when it comes to declaring war. Personally I notice the galaxy is usually a very peaceful place until I start invading everyone. It just seems that no one is really interested in fighting in my galaxy. Anyway, in my mind total galactic peace should be rewarded with something along the lines of a medal or additional metaverse points or something. Just my $0.84.

I think what's really missing is the negative effect taxes generally have on an economy. I'm not saying to turn the game into sim city... But some kind of simple economic model could be used where taxes, morale and growth rates help determine what your tax income is. Is this not already implemented? I mean seriously, look at the tax issue.

Mercury is supposed to be 0.15 times the Sun. If the size of the sun is say 30, then Mercury should be 4 or 5. If you want to be astronomically correct, the diameter of the Sun is 1,392,000 km. If we were to apply your radius, Mercury would have to have a diameter of 208,800 km. In fact mercury is only 4879.4 km in diameter. So if realism and sc

Cevohcam all instances of errors need to be sent to the bugs email. Only if Stardock get the errors to happen for them, or they can see the details in your save game etc, can they fix them so they don't happen again. Someone saying 'i press start and the game crashes', 'This beta sucks' and then not posting any info on the issue might as well have not bothered posting i

Having to baby sit your ships to assigned rally points is exhausting. What is worst is that I cannot really pin point what causes this. Sometimes moving a rally point when a ship is heading towards it the bug occurs. The ship just stops in the middle of the space and stays there. Sometimes ships leaving from planets to a rally point simply freeze in the first square next t

I too would appreciate some higher resolution textures. More so for the planets, colony view and galactic view, and the ground invasion screens. Does changing the graphic files raise a cheat flag on the Metaverse? If not perhaps this could be a project the 3rd party community could take care of.

Is there any where that you can see a description of each medal, and what its requirements are? I looked at the Metaverse legend page, yet there are no descriptions, and I do not know where else to look.

My honest question is how long must companies keep supporting dead technology? I am no computer expert but if I am not mistaken, the kind of computer listed in the minimum require

I personally do not agree with lifting the cap; however I believe it should be amended. I do think it is ridiculous to be able to see the entire map (huge galaxy size) with only 4 ships. With this being said, IMHO the limit would be more practical if it were doubled. That is, unless 15 PC was found to be optimal for reducing the bugs caused by larger sensor ranges.

Personally, I think that a great way to make starbases matter would be to allow starbases to make potshots at any ships within their sphere of influence. The ships wouldn't actually be able to fight back unless they were adjacent to the starbase. This is a great idea! However I believe the range of the star bases, should be limited by the ty
