Reply to Your favorite types of quests in Star Control StarControl Forums

For MMO's Ill never forget the Fighter epic in original recipe Everquest. Man what a slog to get that status item. Recently Elder Scrolls online has a long series of quests you follow for its various DLC, thieves guild, Dark Brotherhood and recently Sommerset and Murkmire. All have some of the best writing I have seen in many years. Writing makes a good quest. In Star Control Origins we get a great taste of the same thing. If I had a requests it would be to add bre

Bionic Dance, The Bumpy-ness of the planets was annoying for me. I fixed this by going into Ships> ship components > Lander anti gravity module and changed the value from 2 to 4. The super jump lander is now actually fun. Now we bounce like we did back in the first Beta's! Its great. Now I can do several large bouncy-trouncy jumps and get over the silly walls of some of the 'canyon-esque' planets.

Seilore, There will be a new 'universal' engine that will require 4 cores/8 threads and 16 gigs of ram that Stardock has been secretly working on. This engine will 'merge' the real time exploration fun of Star Control Origins with the turn based patience of Gal Civ III into one universal space game. Currently the Xraki are in Alliance with the Yor. Since the Yor are non biologic they Xraki see them as tools. The Xraki went 'below' and r

Spacepudding, What size map and rarity of planets do you play on? I have spent a looong time playing Gal civ (1550 hours), its my favorite 4x game. I have a game I am playing on that has been ongoing since March. Its turn 350 or so but i play 2 or 3 turns.. and come back a day or so later. I only play on extra large insane maps with rare habitability of all planets and either spiral or 'even distribution' . I still end up with way too m

Rosmani and the others here with difficulties, I work on wholesale in the landscape industry and Ill give you a bit of advice. When I hear a customer blaming my product is faulty I point to the thousands of units in our yard from the original block, and go nope, nothing wrong here must be the 'expert' who installed his material in the ground and how its being watered. There are literally tens of thousands of PCs playing the game right now. I played it from Alpha th

Zwabbit that is a succinct picture of how things are and will be. We have been accused of only being Brads echo chamber here on this forum by the reddit an UQM forums folks. They clearly think that the law is completely different and that the outcome can and will be at right angles to what Brad has stated. For example Elestan continues to say the that the trademark is in question on who owns it. This is lunacy at its worst. There is zer

[quote]For example, in Sins you introduced diplomacy. For the life of me, I could not understand how to make alliances. If before you needed to complete 2~3 assignments, now you needed to meet 5~6 criteria. In GalCiv3 you added Citizens, why do I need them? it made no sense to me... Upgrade a citizen? Generals? It added complexities and handicaps to a perfectly good game. I stopped playing both games because they: Weren't the games I bough

[quote who="Elestan" reply="328" id="3713923"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 326 Once they filed a suit to try to cancel our trademark it forced us to take a much firmer position with regards to Star Control and its related IP. It really isn't valid to spin this as them forcing your hand, since you were the one who decided to use that trademark to sue them. Their response of trying to cancel the trademark was entirely expected once your suit was filed - there's no way their lawy

I built a new rig in February, I only play on ludicrous. The map sizes have not appeared to change in size for me at all. My ram is 32 gigs of ddr4 with 12 threads OC'd to 4.7 ghz. I zoom along in game even after turn 300 and I am still sloggin it out with 4 factions who are still a major threat, add to it that 100 turns ago I got the damn Dread lords event!
