[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="66" id="3466467"] You can screw yourself Tergon. I made my points very clear. Points that everyone I know who has a background in fiction of any kind agrees with.[/quote] Actually, your points are load of shit none of them somehow are ones that can only exist in humanoid form. And if "everyone you know with background in fiction" agrees, either you know nobody, or know handful of idiots or their "background in fiction" is about as deep

[quote who="AEmpiresStar" reply="53" id="3464041"] Tergon chopping up post word for word is a bad way to communicate.[/quote] No, it tells what is being responded to. Only a fool answers wall of text with another wall of text without reference to what is being answered in each place. [quote]Usually it means your mad not fully listening to what people are saying and are being a bully like you are now. You never mentioned what darca was saying about thre poi

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="44" id="3463415"] What I say and what is fact are different. There is a Sovereign truth to all this. I can only say what I believe, and I did listen to everything said...i just don't agree with most of it. Fate is real and it encumbers everything everywhere all the time iggore. Everything from winning the lottery to the electrons in your genes is of its power. May the light bless your eyes to see this. DARCA[/quot

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="18" id="3463103"] Max your ignorant on this topic. You danced around everything I said minced words and contributed no real facts that stated how non human life could look or function. I've spent years fucking with this shit and even with my imagination I couldn't find anything that worked seriously. And here you are playing with dreams. The FACT is Max that sifi culture depicts reality and our imaginations. I did not make my OP up this shit is real

I agree on the techtree. More I look at it, less I really like it. Your suggestion is excellent, GC2 had in my view excellent techtree so I would like to see something in that spirit implemented here.

[quote who="Ellestar" reply="3" id="3452879"] Quoting Tergon, reply 2 There appears to be some room for micromanagement. Moving around the tool I can get it to increase some value by one while others are not reduced. It isn't a good design IMHO when people are forced to do mindless micromanagement so to gain minor benefits (must have on highest diffculties or in multiplayer, even if it's minor). That's why Civ 4, the most successful one in a

Played the game a bit, one whole match actually and came up with following situation: My research had just finished, but I had not yet picked new one. However, my survey ships popped two research related events which were thus wasted. Could be working as intended, make sure you always have research going on when surveying, but also bit annoying.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="68" id="3448507"] Did you mean interstellar travel and Hyperspace. [/quote] No, as you stated " The reason for this is the energy requirements for space travel". Society which can build any kind of dyson sphere anywhere in it's solar system is not going to give crap about location as means of travelling inside their solar system are at such point that it is irrelevant. This has nothing to do with intereste

I personally do not think ships should get special abilities that are not enabled by their setup. As I see it, the experience should represent the skill of crew to squeeze every last bit out of their ships systems, maybe doing some unofficial modifications to it as well. Suddenly developing a deathray kind of fights against this idea.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="61" id="3448336"] Well I have three reasons why I would build a Dyson swarm, circle, or sphere around a gas giant instead of a star. 1. Because most of the quotes for the distance around a star is one Au then it requires a lot of building materials for a Dyson sphere around a star is would require less material to go around a gas giant.[/quote] But amount of energy put out by star is so massive that even with smaller amount of ma

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="23" id="3448356"] Ill have to give Star ruler a go. I gave it a very brief try a couple years ago.[/quote] Well, it has it's own megalomaniac pull for it. I think someone managed to build warship which was about as long as galaxy was wide.

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="20" id="3448165"] Quoting EvilMaxWar, reply 13 What I do not like in the space 4x games with 3d maps Ive played is that the 3D limits the "Free roaming" aspect. You always have to tavel along lanes. Is there a 3d map with free roaming somewhere? It seems it would be hard to implement UI wise. I am bumping my previous post because I am still curious if any one knows of

[quote who="Space Voyager" reply="16" id="3448145"] Bah, I see you got your port guns at ready... Calm down. 3D has no less functionality than 2D. I don't understand where you got that idea. Some are less able to orientate themselves in 3D, but that does not make it any less "good". Also, maps can be flattened for those 3D impaired. 3D has functionality, eyecandy and realism. Personally I prefer 3D.[/quote] Neither it has MORE functionality. It adds aspe

[quote who="Space Voyager" reply="14" id="3448108"] I'm surprised you don't propose a 1D map... Because it could be done, all systems in a row. Why have that extra 2nd dimension and the fuss it brings at all? Just going into extremes, not trying to provoke a war. It is true, as long as you can get around and take different routes, the third dimension does not add extra strategy.[/quote] Actually you are going into stupid. As you yourself admit, 3rd dimension do

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="58" id="3448024"] Question does anyone know how to shape a force field.[/quote] Well, could you first tell how to make a force field? Would make it easier to explain how to shape it.

Not really that great leap of faith mate. Stardock tends to be reliable in it's products. Let's compare my experiences with two preorders from two different publishers. First we have Stardock and often lamented Elemental. Regardless of what someone might think of the game, it works and is perfectly playable. But SD decided it was not good enough so I got all kinds of stuff as compensation. [e digicons]^_^[/e] Then there is this AAA

[quote who="Darvist" reply="50" id="3447796"] Thats a valid point. But i started thinking of what exactly Resources are. According to the time table The space race started in 2178 and the current time is 2242. 64 years before that earth was already isolated resource wise. Energy needs are no longer a problem cause we invented cascading fusion power before any of the other races. Terran description seas humanity was mostly united and pea

[quote who="Space Voyager" reply="11" id="3447800"] Even thinking that third dimension doesn't add anything it showing a lack of vision. If you don't see a difference between 2 and three dimensions, nobody can help you. I see a huge difference between a board or a need to think in things through in space. There were people complaining about the confusion in SotS1, but they were in minority. Flat maps (very small variation in z axis) were added for those. <br

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="46" id="3447714"] I don't think any human military official will ever ware a vest like that because of the SI-FI stigma. Maybe something influenced traditional wares. Like all uniforms are. More medals and sashs and color. This for listening SD. DARCA[/quote] Ever? Ever is really long time. By next century stuff will have changed and previous stigma would have been all forgotten. <p

[quote who="Tridus" reply="14" id="3447353"] Credit card processing & transaction fees suck. That's an area Bitcoin does a lot better, because it was designed to be split into small amounts more easily.[/quote] BS. It is peanuts. And Bitcoin, as proven by MtGox, is extremely unreliable system. [quote] Really, most of the issues are superflous.

[quote who="thetraviler" reply="6" id="3445402"] Lucky Jack, If a business (or a person) does not hold any Bitcoin, they are simply using the Bitcoin protocol through a payment service, then the risk they are exposed to is no different than the risk of using paypal or any other credit card payment service. In fact, the risk is less so to the merchant, because they cannot receive a charge back. The transaction, once completed, is like cash. They literally rec
