So, we draw towards the epic conclusion. I am really, REALLY pumped for the remainder of this AAR and also a bit sad--this may be the first of several conflicts between the two great factions, but either way, this AAR is now in its final stage, and I doubt that I'll find anything like it again. In any case, something tells me the worst is yet to come. Personally, I believe that soon enough there will be a second Great Galactic War. <p

I've been following for years now and I still check in about once every week--because a new episode of this thing will make my day! I know how a lack of motivation with something like this feels man, but please know that you still have fans out there. This AAR is the only reason I'm ever on this site, and it's outlived both my time actually playing the game. I still maintain that it's the best AAR I've ever read anywhere. All I can say is keep it up!
These instalments were well written, but not very exciting. Although I MUCH prefer this style of short-but-often updating, you do have to consider the action contained within each episode as well. Though this ended with a cliffhanger--which is good--its content is still just a string of minor events, so it basically just feels like the most recent 2 parts were leftovers from Part 20. Try to consider the rhythm of the posts and not just the length--while having the updates
Can't wait for the next instalment!
Nice upload!
In that case, I eagerly await the next instalment. :)
Cool! Sorry for taxing so long on the reply man. If you need help with the IC stuff, I would be way more than happy to provide it. If for example you wanted to do the report on Terran ships, or the fleet deployments, I could help you with structuring it, provide ideas or assist you with the actual writing if you need--I wouldn't presume that I could do it nearly as well as you, but I could give you a base to improve on and take some of the work load out of it. Send me all the relevan
I've been following this AAR for a very, very long time now. It's the best I've ever read, so I think I always will. :) Nothing compares to this, Qrtxian. The Intelligence report was AMAZING. I'm positively thrilled to see new updates whenever they appear--so please, if you can, post more! What I'd really love to see is some more IC stuff from the Terran Alliance. Perhaps a collection of shorter reports: those local commanders assessing the defence o
Sorry guys, I thought I posted this earlier, but I must have exited without posting or something. While looking around my folders I found out I had Fraps, which solved this problem. Sorry again.
That's not what I mean, I thought I posted the all clear. Obviously I didn't so sorry for that. I'll go do it again now.
Didn't I put a post on the thread saying it was resolved?
OH, thanks! I'll be sure to make those into shipyard planets then...So, what did you think of the AAR itself?
Introduction: Okay, so before I get started here’s a bit of general info. I’m starting another AAR because unlike last time, I now know how to take screenshots and upload them, meaning that this one can actually work. As for how I plan to do this, it will be mainly factual but every episode will have a few ‘snippets’ from made up characters. It might be the captain of my flagship, or the President, ect. As you might expect, I'm playing as the Terrans. I hav
Thanks! As for the folder directory though, I followed the path and it worked perfectly but there is no ScreenShots folder. I've searched for it and manually looked through the folders but no joy. Any ideas?
Can anyone tell me what the screenshot key is for TOA, and where do they go?
How can you fit all that on a ship? Do you rush the larger ship sizes?
Thanks for clarifying that for me mate. I have no idea how to make styles or templates but since I'm going to do an Arcean AAR soon I think it would be nice to do one for them. Can you tell me how to do it?
Okay, I'm gonna start now. Well, that is, as soon as I find the folder where screenshots go for this game. I haven't changed any of the files, so can somebody tell me what the screenshot folder is called and where it is?
Mega slingshot? What's that?
Okay, I did an AAR a while back which I abandoned because I couldn't get pics. Now I know how to get pics I'm thinking of doing a new one, but this forum is looking very dead to me. So, my question is, is there anyone left here, and if so, would you read a new AAR?
Okay, I've just started to notice that there are some very un-original races in my GC2. For example, the Arceans have the smae hulls as the Terrans and the Torians the same as the Iconians. Acutally, when I was checking this out by starting an iconin game and a torian one the ship " icon" for the iconian colony ship was green! This only seems to happen when I play the races. Is this normal and if not, is it a known bug?
Great idea, I'm in. I think the Kushana Initiative sets a great example of how to play it-simple but lots of fun. Sanbox politics; someone puts forward an idea, then everyone votes and that's that. Personally I think we should just leave it at forming parties to advocate certain policies; voting to see whose in charge can get messy.
The whole Yor idea was done brilliantly, you really captured the essence of the Borg! The robot thingy reminded me of the King Kriptor from Supreme Commander II. :) Hope to see more from you soon!
Now I've started an AAR I really need to know how to get screenshots using print screen or snipping tool onto my forum post. Can anyone give me step by step instructions?
Episode 3: The Threat of War Captain’s log, 15 th Apr 2228 Today is a great...er, sad...day for the crew of this ship. It turns out that those cute little squirrely guys weren’t so nice at all and killed him when he landed on their planet. We are all...er...very sad... at his loss. You know what that means? I AM THE CAPTAIN! YEAH BABY! Anyway, we decided to go an visit the sp
