[quote quoting="post"] I don't know if this is intentional or a mistake, but the planet screen for Iconia (and I assume other planets colonized by the Yor) still list food as a resource: Reduced 55% Original 770 x 796</div
Guys, you have to realize that any ships created during the alpha and beta process could be lost. Don't work too hard on deigns until the finished game is released.
This is why I hate Microsoft sometimes, Windows 7 is still a fantastic OS, Windows 8 was completely unnecessary and now we have Windows 10 coming? Ridiculous.
I like the smaller black holes on the zoomed out map...or is that just because the galaxy is so huge? [e digicons]o_O[/e] Also, are there plans for zoomed out black hole symbols, instead of the completely rendered BH's?
[quote who="psychoak" reply="10" id="3510731"] He's looking at the "Honorable Mentions" instead of the "Finalists", bad link. Charon, there be buttons for finalists/honorable mentions on the page. [/quote] gotcha, sorry.
So four of the finalists were all by Tezmagorian? He designs great ships but shouldn't each person be allowed one entry in the finals...?
Cool ship, I like it. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
As far the star name, c'mon Darca, he probably named it after his kids (I know I named mine after my daughter). They'll probably be exited when he finds it. Have a heart.
Remember though, the copyright is on the content, not the physical media (plastic CD disc, paper pages, etc.). If someone loans me a CD or DVD, then I get to experience the content for free. Whether or not the first party gives a copy of the physical media or not is largely irrelevant. The end result is the same, two people (or more) experience content where only one has paid.
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="59" id="3510296"] Quoting charon2112, reply 57 So how are public libraries legal? Every person that borrows a book, or CD or DVD from a library is a lost sale for the owner of the copyright, so are those people thieves? You're missing a simple piece of the
I would like to present a couple of scenarios. It's illegal and I'm a thief if someone through file sharing gives me a copy of a movie, or game, or music, correct? So by that logic, if someone copies a DVD for me, or a CD and gives it to me, I am also a thief. If someone lends me a DVD and I watch it, or lends me a game and I play it, am I not also a thief because that is technically a lost sale for the company, corr
Real stars often have names that are seemingly meaningless letters and numbers. It's not a big deal.
" 3) pirates -> I really don't like the CIVs system for pirates, so for GC3 I'd like to have them as a minor race without planets, wandering and salvaging around the galaxy - we could talk with them, buy them, bribe them to attack other civs (guerilla), etc" I said the exact same thing in another thread, I'm all for this idea. Distant Worlds does pirates pretty good, that's one of the few games where I don't tu
cool
The cloaking device might just be part of the lore of the event for flavor, the actual thing received may be just the research bonus.
Will there be cinematic cutscenes for events like first colonization, first starbase, first huge ship built etc...as well as end of game victory cinematics?
Gilmoy, thanks for the lesson. :) Luckily, in a science fiction PC game, we don't need perfect physics simulated.
Brad likes squares. I have to agree.
Gilmoy, why is it that black holes have such immense gravity that even light cannot escape it once it gets close. Normal stars don't do that, isn't the gravity of BH's far more than normal stars? Once a star collapses in on itself and becomes a black hole, doesn't the gravity greatly increase?
" Games become alive with uniqueness. If there was a galactic achievement that allowed passage through black holes, that would make the game more fun 10x." Nah, it has to be somewhat grounded in reality. Why not include space dragons for more uniqueness. " Black holes don't "slowly" pull things in. They're indistinguishable from a star of the same mass. Gravity is gravity." I'm
" I said the same thing about Elemental. It only took two free expansions and an extra year (or more) of development for them to release something approaching the game they were promising right around this stage of development." It's because of the Elemental disaster that I have faith they won't make that mistake ever again.
" Not sure why you feel your opinion is more important than others" Didn't say that. GC2 is still great, and GC3 is already significantly more.
I'm suggesting that people keep their opinions in check and realize that this is a beta designed to test for bugs. A beta that is missing half of the content that will be in the finished game. I'm also noticing that the complainers in this thread seem to also not like GC2 very much either. And their opinions matter little to me and I hope to SD as well.
Space Herpes...and if you get that reference, you're old. I would like to make a sentient machine race that is obsessed with utter neutrality. If another race is more powerful than them, they will want to knock them down, if another race is less powerful, then they'll give them tech and ships.
