+1 to this. I have noticed that Missiles are now way overpowered from what they should be, with the Rapid Fire type tech's. Currently it seems now (depending on tech choice) the best weapons are Missile, Kinetic & then Beam. Needs a little more balance review from the devs with the enhancement tech's in mind.

2 Person + Full AI Multiplayer Game on Huge Map We played stable all of Friday for a little over 400 turns and now my friend (I am host) is crashing regularly after resuming our game today. We can't get more than a few turns in now without my friend CTD. Ticket submitted with files attached: Ticket ID #GZL-510-98271 <

So I'm still finding a few bugs previously listed and yet to be fixed, along with a couple of new ones. Some of this will probably be noticed by a reviewer so heads up on that! *Using Custom Race based on Thalan Tech Tree & Ship Design. Star Fairing & Prolific Race Traits: 1) The combat viewer camera still needs work. The Free Cam in particular. I think any reviewer who plays 2 or more battles and fiddles with the camera's will n

Hi, I have no idea if this is intended but if it is, it's both awesome & hilarious. Every time I pan my camera on the main map close to a black hole and start to zoom in a bit with the mouse wheel, my screen gets sucked right into the black hole! lol Intended or not, it's a nice touch [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Can you speak a little about each races tech tree and the unique tech's they get? We heard from Paul previously about the Terran Super-Support Ship, as well as the Iconian Planet/Terriforming Tech's. What about the other races? And will all of it be in for the final Beta 6? Appreciate your hard work on the game and any answers you can give! Cheers, Zoo

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="11" id="3539924"] Ok Ill bite Yes its my opinion. I have literally played dozens of games up to 5.3. Zero crashes. Zero functionality issues. Zero UI issues. I have long pauses between turns late game (post 150 turns). I play only on Excessive or Larger with 15+ factions and all minors. Game feels fun and again, I do not see the issues you are experiencing, nor are any of my friends who are also playing. <br

Looking forward to Beta 6! Each race having unique tech's in the tree is a nice touch as well - are they tradable? Also, will the Iconian'starting system generate inside a nebula to go along with the Star Fairing race trait?

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="13" id="3537588"] I think the 'uncommon' habitable planet distribution is (too common) for my tastes. I was running into far too many planets. Granted it was fun but I like the feeling of a large Galaxy and its like Xmas when you see even a lowly class 6.

In addition to my first post of multiplayer bugs found during a new game using 0.82, my friend and I also started to experience crashes when we loaded and resumed our game on Saturday (literally during the save game load as well as throughout playing the save). We also noticed a few more bugs that were not in my earlier bug post - screen shots included in the ticket. Ticket Submission: <td class

Settings: Game played in Multiplayer: 2 Human (1 Custom & 1 Stock) & 6 AI Majors + Common Minors on Huge Map Bugs: - When colonizing planets, neither of us are getting Ideology Events/Choices.

[quote quoting="post"] Ideology trees: Some of the traits are just overpowered, like the free ships for every planet, oh so broken. They sound good but cause major issues in the game, I would suggest 5 or so Overlords rather than for every planet, and maybe 15 ships for the version. [/quote] On this point I would respectfully disagree. Have you examined the specs of the ships you get free as part of that Ideology trait? They are not e

Since a Military Starbase does not provide active defence of a Planet or Shipyard in it's AOE (other than providing some stat buffs to ships) it isn't a complete priority to take out when attacking a Star System. One way to enhance it's value and require Players/AI to commit ships & effort in attacking a Military Starbase before really invading a planet, would be to add Planetary Defence/Invasion Resistance modules. Cheers, <p

Playing with this some more, I'm pretty sure the significant Lag experienced in gameplay when using a custom race is almost 100% to do with the different textures/colour palette and ties into the game showing the original default race textures & palette in some of the windows still... I'm guessing the game does not cache the design templates in my new look and so each turn is having to load the design and re-paint/texture when I enter screens like the Designer, Ship Report, Starba
