LtJim, when you talk about levels, do you mean the ship's name? Like Phoenix M1 vs. Phoenix M13 or do you mean the ship's level as indicated elsewhere? If you mean the first - M1 vs. M13, each time you research new techs, the game redesigns some of your ships with upgrades and increments the name to indicate the new, improved version.
I also think upgrading ships can't defend themselves.
The spreadsheet is a lifesaver. It tells you 90% of what you need to know about any planet, and it tells you whether you need to check on that other 10% on the planet screen,.
Ship levels are experience levels. The more combat experience your ship (crew) has, the higher the level and the more effective the ship. If you select a ship, there will be a button labeled "upgrade." If you click the "i", you'll see another upgrade button on the info screen. Finally, if it's a fleet, you click the info button for the fleet, you can select individual ships and upgrade them. They do not need to be in orbit (and I think you can't upgrade them if they are in orbit).
I hope they do something with Shadowrun that actually looks like Shadowrun.
[quote who="[I-Mod] Sven" reply="1" id="2177709"]The connection IS possible.[/quote] Sadly, it wasn't when I asked, even after I flushed my DNS cache. :( It is now, though. Thanks.
How soon should connection be possible?
Edit: I found the answer to my question elsewhere.
Starcraft II will fail when they add Azeroth as a playable side, with Tauren space marines and warlocks.
I think, but I'm not positive, that Stardock will only update you to 1.96, and if you want the later updates, you'll want to switch to Impulse. That will give you, among other things, the updated espionage system that people are talking about.
[quote who="sisonpyh" reply="7" id="2167730"] When I load the game it says I"m using TA version 1.96 on the main menu. The unique tech trees are all there.[/quote] You need to update to 2.02. Do you have Impulse installed?
Then it doesn't really mean anything. Odds are good that they didn't treat the kids exactly the same - not because of the outcome, but because it has been demonstrated that people do act differently toward boys than they do toward girls.
Oh, bull. Girls do not have an innate aversion to games.
I think the fact that the entire design of their tech tree is based on them being time travelers, plus Brad talking about them being time travelers without ever hinting that they're scam artists, might imply that it's not a trick.
[quote]By the way, the real point is not the damage it causes to other players, but rather the damage it causes to Blizzard. The damage it causes to other players is a side issue, and unlikely to be a large factor in the judge's decisions.[/quote] On the contrary, since WoW is a subscription game, damage to other players means canceled subscriptions, which means damage to Blizzard. That's why Blizzard's case includes complaints from 400,000 accounts about this. If damage to pla

And what makes this lawsuit an overreaction or over the top? What are you trying to say here? That Blizzard should have no right to protect its investment from people acting in bad faith to damag
I don't know, there's a lot of theory about how time travel just might be possible. Perhaps not in the way the Thalans did it, but they're gazillions of years ahead of us and probably know things we do not. Also, many worlds is another way to account for what you're talking about without removing free will or requiring predestination.

[quote]As for people losing the enjoyment of there game, give me a break, I would bet that none of the users on WOW even knew it was happening let alone affected them.

That sure as hell ruins my enjoyment.[/quote] Because botting affects the economy (people use bots to farm items and gold so they can sell gold to playe
I don't want to get rid of agents, but I don't like how multiple civs ganging up on one civ ramps up that one civ's espionage costs. And I think that taking the lead militarily within the first three years should be a viable strategy, not get you dropped into the espionage economic death spiral. Also, Willy's correct, [i]she[/i] is the proper pronoun. ;)
Willy, the problem isn't that the AI uses agents against the most powerful military. The problem is that the price of agents ramps up dramatically as you train more, which means that you will end up in an economic death spiral if you try to maintain a strong military while defending against a constant stream of cheaper agents from the other planets. The [i]only[/i] defense against that is the CE. The system is good, but far from perfect.
