[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="7" id="3453892"] And you can fix stupid. You just need alot of time and patience.[/quote] I hear a 2x4 with nails through it can work as well...

There's an option for checking the integrity which should download the rest. Not at my PC, so I can't check exactly what it's called.

[quote who="Sognar" reply="11" id="3452932"] Thats simple economics - if there is a demand there is a Price for it [/quote] Nailed the whole thing with that one sentence. If you're not willing to pay $99 for access, then don't pay. I, on the other hand, will reserve the right to spend my money on anything I choose.

[quote who="kwm1800" reply="3" id="3452504"] Quoting 5pl1t1nf1n1t1v3, reply 2 I kind of agree, but given the propensity for the Steam forums to be a bitch-fest can't we just ignore them for the most part? Beyond that the few people that'll buy it on Steam then actively get involved (probably over here) can only add to the number of people feeding back, surely? You just can't ignore them, quite a lot of people read (but not write) on f

[quote who="ForesterSOF" reply="1" id="3452444"] Also there is idle ships. Is there a way to scrool through them ie choose 1st, assign, press button to next ship, assign, etc Some time I want idle ships so can the turn button show up even if there are idle ships[/quote] You can select the ship and hit 'pass' on the bottom left to have a ship miss the turn.

Could be their servers straining. How many people are trying to download this at the same time?

You can tilt the view with the middle mouse button held down. Is that what you meant?

Also should add that I haven't hit a bug yet...

OK, so I beat the filthy Drengin in just over 60 mins. First play and I'm happy with what I see so far in this very early alpha (just adding that to demonstrate that I'm aware it's a very early alpha! :)) Few thoughts: Hitting the side of the screen doesn't scroll (probably a pointless point as I'd imagine it's in the works.) Loving the zoom-to-where-the-cursor-is thing. Might be nice to have a pop-up of planet details when clicked (unin

Aaaaaaargh! [e digicons]:D[/e]

My Steam just started downloading the alpha. It's happening, people. That is all.

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="28" id="3452194"] Im up for a saturday game. Live in Norway, CET-time. I can play for an "unlimited" number of hours.[/quote] Cue a six month long game...

[quote who="treborblue" reply="23" id="3450839"] I don't usually play online, but I am eager to try this. (I think I am pretty good at strategy games, but will more likely get owned) Are there many players from the UK? [/quote] I'm in the UK, and am also probably going to be terrible at playing against real people. [quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="24" id="3450841"] I think every one s

I'm at work at the moment, so I'm not really getting antsy yet, what with not being able to do anything about it (although I kind of wish I'd switched on my PC and a VNC thing so I could waste my paid time fretting about it.) I'll be getting home at about 6 (UK time.) I'm hoping it'll be live by then.

This is all very well and good, but wouldn't it be prudent to start a similar thread for all the insane ideas? Just for balance...

It was mainly because there had been replies that I hadn't seen. I've been lost in a world of DayZ the last couple of months but, with the Alpha so close, I'm back and ready to whine about things that don't work. I'll stop now; I'm sure that there are actual current discussions that could use some attention.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="5" id="3451367"] I was inspired when someone was talking about a two month old post, so I decided to find the oldest post since someone responded on this site.[/quote] Oh dear, I may have created a monster...

[quote who="treborblue" reply="5" id="3450947"] Time zone GMT + 0 After 30th March GMT + 1 [/quote] This. I work 9-5.30 Monday to Friday, so evenings (to around midnightish, although I don't really need that much sleep) and weekends. I am, however, paid for sick days, so... ;)

Yeah, they could all be awful, but that's the risk you take, I suppose. But I agree, here's to them all knocking it out of the park. Now that I've reawakened a two month old thread, I shall go and hang my head in shame somewhere.

[quote who="Rudy_102" reply="8" id="3436592"] Likewise, even if I can't get rid of "hope is the first step on the road to disappointment"... I do dislike lack of communication, but I'd prefer "less talk more work" approach. So as long as they really working on new patches, I'll live without their lively personalities. [/quote] True enough. Hey, you never know, we may end up with a skinful of decent space games all at once.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="9" id="3436699"] Alpha is tentatively due in March, there will be a flood of information (and videos most likely) once we get our hands on that![/quote] I have a sneaking suspicion you may be right...

Oh, I'm certain they'll have a damn good crack at fixing it. They did a great job with the last few. I'm all about the hope.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="3" id="3435520"] Well from the sound of it it sounds like your at the right place unless your not planning to play galactic civilizations 3 then you should probably go to galactic civilization 2 forums. Welcome to this site.[/quote] Lol, thanks :) [quote who="Rudy_102" reply="4" id="3435550"] We are X-rebith pre-order brothers, eh? Welcome to the club. [/quote] Cheers.
