[quote who="abiessener" reply="4" id="3451805"]Of course, none of this prevents you from renaming your planets in multiplayer to things like "lol u jelly ray" and "y u so slow ray" and "sux 2 b ray" when you're out-colonizing the heck out of the game's producer. I can personally confirm that.[/quote] LOL! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Hopefully the ship movement will improve with whatever you guys can come up with. Looking forward to reading the latest journal entry when it arrives.

[quote who="Ryat" reply="6" id="3451703"] Keep in mind that the Alpha is the game at its most basic. In other words, the March 27th release will be to see how well the game works on other machines. A lot of us will be dealing with crashes, hard stops, driver/hardware incompatibility issues and the like. If you would like to join in on this fun (breaking things can be fun) then feel free to jump in. If you want a stable game that is completed (as much as any game is complete) then you ar

[quote who="Ericridge" reply="35" id="3451322"] Hey Han solo went through an asteroid field in his millenium Falcon and got through just fine although the same can't be said about imperial tie fighters [/quote] Quite true, but the issue is getting the time it takes to get from one side of the field to the other compared to traveling the same distance with no asteroid field present. Even though good old Han made it through he still did so much more slowly than

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="1" id="3450206"]I wish GalCiv II had higher numbers but hey its a pretty old game and many of its hardcore fans are not counted as they probably don't have it on steam.

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="4" id="3450259"]what names are you considering?[/quote] Well, at first I was considering "Kalthusia" which has special meaning/memories for me from the days when I lived in the Orient, but then I also thought of honoring my father and grandfather by using their middle names, "Dabney". I've also considered "XiWang", which is Mandarin for hope, but I'm leaning more toward one of the first two. But the jury is still out...
I still have to finalize the name I want to use...
Let the count down begin! Only 7 more days to go (barring any last minute problems...) and my computer and I are all set to go. [e digicons]:d[/e]

Wow, I wasn't even aware that this was on the horizon. Been quite some time since I've played GC2. Will definitely have to check this one out and see if it draws me back in. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
