As said above there is a blueprint for each fighter that decides for you what will be on them. This might change in the next patch, but currently each fighter type uses a specific weapon type. For example Interceptors will only use beams, so if you unlock them and research any other type of weapons those won't impact them. So you're not going to suddenly have them using kinetics or missiles, even if these are your best weapons. Or at least that's how it used to work. In Crusade they made it s

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="4" id="3684585"] Am I missing something? Carrier fighters don't need hyperdrive or life support--true--but shouldn't the game hard-code assault fighters as assault? Regardless of the modules in them? [/quote] This is the way it should work. The value, threat, fortitude system is pointless and just creates weird results. Good that they finally removed those modules, but the real issue is the weapons assigned. If they do

Unless they changed the definition of what can be an assault ship in Crusade you can no longer have assault fighters as they are all tiny hulls now. Anyway, the problem you see with "assault" fighters will also happen with Interceptors because they've made it so they can only use basic weapons. By the time you unlock carriers you'll probably have a few tiers of defences and due to the way ship roles work the fighters are going to be forced into the guardian role. They can even turn into suppo

It more of the case that the xpac has a different location for player made content and you'll need to move the files.

There is a thread on migrating custom content to Crusade in the Founders section. The thread will probably be added to general after launch I'm guessing.

There was a thread somewhere (I think it was stickied) that talked about how to get your old content into Crusade. I can't remember the details, but the gist was that Crusade calls from a new folder and you can just move ships and faction files into that to get them to show up. Not sure what the download issue is.

At least our "crying" accomplished something.

^ No it isn't free. Elite Founders simply have already paid for it. As for why someone would care, people can care for different things. Some people put value in beta testing, others don't.

The week where you posted that is over. Though just about from the start of the Discord Founders were created each week was the "week" it was coming out to the rest. Good news is next week it definitely will happen.

If you are going to sell as game as early access as Stardock did with GC3 it doesn't give you a free pass from getting negative reviews. Even with all these "terrible" reviews GC3 was sitting on a Steam rating of 81% just before it launched. It dropped nearly 10 points in between launch and the 1.1 patch. Which if anything suggests that the pre-release reviews are generous to the game at that point.

[quote who="Taslios" reply="32" id="3674794"] That said... Brad had originally told us that we founders would have a chance to play around Valentines day... I do wish a more public key release would have happened with the understanding that it was not finished. But I also understand that Steam does not do that very well... the moment you can download something it is viewed as full release and people can and DO comment and review.

The xpac comes out next Thursday on the 4th. So much for the wider Founders beta I guess.

Does that mean the Terran Resistance or whatever Casey's faction is called is also gone?

I'm looking forward to soon™ as well.

Thanks. I managed to get it done through joeuser. It seems to be an issue with the Stardock forums. Not sure how I'm meant to report that.

I have been trying to change my avatar and I can't seem to be able to. On the page where you should be able to do it it says that upload is initialising, but nothing happens.

Wish they'd been clear about this process to begin with. I probably would have just waited and I definitely wouldn't have stalked Discord for 4 days.

And what if they do overreact? If that is such a huge concern they should just continue to work on the beta before letting Founders in.

I don't really see why that matters.

Given they have a system that can identify Founders (that's how this forum works after all) it makes you wonder why they didn't use that and just to send beta codes to everyone in that list either to their emails associated with their accounts or just PMed them on the forum itself. Seems like an easier way to do it rather than having someone go through a chat log on Discord to hunt down links, check each link back to this forums then send them a PM on discord.

Due to how things have gone with GC3 I've very much on the wait and see bus. I am concerned about whether Stardock can deliver the changes in a way that isn't initially quite a mess.

[quote who="erischild" reply="76" id="3670870"] Thanks for the status update. Waiting til end of March. Please let us know if anything changes to that date. [/quote] If it does look out for news at the end of April.
