Maybe he was thinking of the god in Ghostbusters....

It might have its own gravitational pull.  I wonder if it gets any logistics and tactical slots.

TEC scouts got tired of scanning for mines, so they built the Athena because it could drive over them. 

I had it like that the first time but it didn't look right. I always get it confused. To know so much about Mythology and not know how to spell Zeus makes me feel ashamed. *cries in corner*

So that's what the tactical value of the Kol is!  

I take pride in knowing that kind of information, it happens to the best of us, I don't know how many times I have misspelled Daedalus as Deadalus before correcting myself.

Working on them.  In fact, we're working on updating the entire website. 

^ Now THIS is awesome news!

Due to larger ships being available (i.e. Titans), are there going to be any adjustments to the gravity well size or relative size of planets / mines etc? Also, what are the resource impacts (FPS etc) going to be due to these massive ships? I know the meshes for some of the Star Bases have a ridiculous number of tris, as do mines, etc. Will the meshes be optimized to .dds format to help reduce system load?

Just some questions.

Thanks for the reply Yarlen! I know many of the things that the TSOP project started out to do was convert everything to .dds format as well as reduce the tri count on meshes such as mines, strike craft, extractors and the envoys (which have a HUGE number of tris) etc etc and it did help overall with a slight gain in performance. I know they also optimized a lot of the file search paths as well to reduce cycle times on the CPU which helped late game also. It might be something to look into if you get the chance.

I'm playing the super-secret, private-by-invitation-only alpha version and it's awesome.

If they do a good job, I'm going to release Yarlen's family unharmed when they are done.  I still don't know why they chose me to alpha test...it's just a mystery.
