120 years of primitive Martian teraforming has paid off . The soil is rich and the atmosphere ripe for human colonization . I believe this world will be a resource for not only manufacturing but also advanced research . With that said I have ordered the construction of the most advanced Star Port and Manufacturing facility ever created by Terran kind. Meanwhile a few weeks later the second colony shi

100 years of primitive tera-forming and cultivating has paid off on mars and our colonists have arrived in one day using our hyperdrive engines to claim this world for humanity. Our robotic sentries on the planet have already begun to build a Star Port and the colonists will make this planet a Manufacturing mega-center as mars is rich in resources .

Man kind had reached a technological idle after hundreds of years of rapid advancement . That all changed with First Contact. A species caling themselves the Arceans opened the gate to a new way of thinking and in essence bonded humankind like never before . The Terrans quickly adapted the Arcean stargate technology into a much more useful resource called Hyperdrive . With this technology we could finally leave the bonds of our homeworld . Hyperdive in effect warped the properties of space time

It's the people with integrity in the Western world who will tend to freak out like you guys are freaking out, given the present circumstances. Our governments are lying packs of sheit. Nevertheless, this is a gaming forum, and there are forums where you'll find people ready and eager to discuss these kind of things. I'd take these thoughts there. Ohh hey pac-man 25 is coming out today..yippie ! ..ohh wait the

Maybe they think your unpeaceful ?

That would be a good one for a future update . I don't imagine coding that would be very hard .

This BETA has LOTS of bugs . That's ok though it's a beta . I wish I had time to write them all out but man there are tons . Ive played several games one small galaxy and one gigantic with lots of races . It did ok on the small map but on the gigantic about 4-5 years all hell broke loose . Here are a few examples and keep in mind the game had 8 major races and 6 minor so lots of ships on the map at this point . **Mining ships stopped working **Would click on a ship to move and it

Personally I would love for them to revive the Star Flight series . I know it's old but it quit a diffrent game then Gal Civ and would be awesome with modern graphics . They should just give control over those properties to Stardock I mean Atari is a piece of shyte in IMO just hand over the money and full control and they would get some good games finally .

Keep in mind this is a VERY complex game especially when you have lots of colonies and lots of ships . It's not dumbed down like a lot of other RTS's . I can recommend 3 things ... Look for strategy threads,use the strategy guild ,read the AAR's in that forum if that is not helping then use the money cheat to keep your empire aflot until you learn the economics of this game which is the hardest part IMO. Also if you are in a game and you don't like how things are going you can press cn

They must have had it up and then took it down before the weekend im guessing .

I don't really like any of the mega events I have got so . Does anybody like that aspect of the game or does everyone turn it off like me ?

Wow this is the stupidest thread ive ever seen . I don't think you will find one product out there with any kind of fanbase no matter what it is TV,Games,Music...etc that has a perfect audience that makes no complaints . When people complain about something it's because they see room for improvement because no product is perfect . Go to any game forum that has a company with any kind of continued game support and you will see they mirror this forum ( some complaints and a lot of complimen

WE need more threads like this nice job !

I don't see how you can have a stalemate unless your just getting bored of the current game and just want it to end. Now if your asking have we ever had games take an exceedingly long time to win or lose then I would say yes .

I have not played a Sub game since silent service on the commodore 64 which was a fantastic game for it's time well I thought so being like 11 and all . I might just give this a try when they get all the bugs worked out .

There are only 2 games that would fit into a 4x mmo space RTS genre . One was being created by sony online years ago . They gave up because it's a nightmare. The other was a mmorts based on dune and being created by a french company but it seemed to disappear years ago . I remember seeing it at e3 one year and it looked awesome to bad it never hit main stream .

That's weird I have the high res mod and I still get space resources .

If you research to orbital teraforming first you REALLY get a boost out of those class 1-2 worlds because you won't have to build them they will all turn green !! Yeah the AI is pretty retarded when it comes to planet colonization . They also ignore anomalies for a long time which is weird

Ehhhh...when you initially send your miner to an asteroid to mine you will see above it will say "upgrade 5 weeks " or something . So after 5 turns send it to the next asteroid. In about 20 weeks you should have basic mining bases . So what you do is you send your miner back to the first asteroid and it will upgrade to the next level . Or actually you could send it back to the first asteroid after 10 weeks and it will upgrade . I think the problem you are having is that you are trying to get the

Speaking of Oblivion I get much worse frame rate and lag from this game then I did from the highest settings in Oblivion ..lol I guess that's why it seems this games frame rate and turn speed could be improved ?

Just a few requests from me 1: Trading needs to be more profitable I dont even do it anymore . For example I will have long routes using a fast trading ship and get maybe 12bc /route and max out getting something like 250bc for trading ..wow very low when you compare it to getting 6-8000bc for tourism ! I concentrate on building for tourism and influence and economy . 2: I like how you put the oldest/newest categories for planetary improvements that is a nice touch ! Now to t

I have always played on the biggest maps and I get very serious lag when the game gets going . I think it has to do with the AI calculating the movement of sometimes 500+ ships all around the map for all the races,fogging and defogging for each AI race and doing all the plantery improvements I mean there are so many thousands of thousands of variables the AI is going through each turn . Plus drawing everything on the screen and animating probebly 500+ or so worlds by mid game if you have a lot o

That same thing happened to me . Star dock central would not update my game properly to the update for the fog of war fix . I had to uninstall dark avatar and completely download and reinstall it . Then it worked but before that I was getting the same issue . I dont know why Star dock central would work for some people and not others thats a strange one .

I still get them on some worlds but no where as much as in previous versions . I never get the 700% tiles anymore ...ever ! In about 50 colonies on a huge map I might get 2-3 with special tiles .

Yeah they said the colony rush is not so important but it seems to me the AI researches techs for colonization pretty quickly and before you know it they are in your back yard . Really sucks when you get a kind of section of the galaxy but half the plants belong to your neighbor which usually set up influence star bases sooner or later . I personally would rather have my complete maybe smaller portion of the galactic pie then share it with a bunch of alien scum ...
