"I came". :D I wonder if this generation tech will make it possible to recreate something promised (and, to an extent - presented) for Operation Flashpoint - switching from participant (fighter) role, to unit commander, and then to greater level of command. Or in reverse...

Update - yes, but no logon. If there is no connection, update attempt cancelled and Steam goes directly offline. Steam became much more tolerable for us, offline folks IMHO. Origin still can't do that, lol - wants me to physically unplag the cable. :D

Simple: create queue of several tech from any branches you want and let game automatically, and if you insist so much, sequentially research them. Should breaking point between research occur in midweek, then tranfer leftovers to next tech in queue, not next tech in branch. I don't need five diplomacy tech at once, I need one, and then one tech from lasers tree, and again, not five, just one, and after that just one tech from life support, not whole deck of life support tech.

We could build a biodomes to let races with different requirements to settle. Of course, we will lose more than they will gain, but it would be nice to let them shelter, or even use bonuses from out planet, to let them repopulate faster. IMHO that could even give a PLOT TWIST®™©, similar to one we had. Plus, Hearts of Iron alike "government in exile". I was actually planning to propose that, but was thinking about details, and someone got ahead. :)

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="115" id="3433104"]A friend of mine didn't know this. he made me prove it and I did. There are 2 B-1 bombers. One was a strategic bomber with both a A and B classification that eventually replaced the B-52. The other was the original stealth bomber that Jack Northrop didn't build. Jack Northrop eventually built the stealth bomber 10 years in 1992 after the original stealth bomber came out.[/quote] Well, enlighten me too, the

It's game, why not let people use what they want, at least in single-player, where all competitive functions are off by default? Following old mantra, purpose of the game is to have fun, and let others have fun too, but if you play alone, there is only you. If you entirely against "faceroll class imba", then it would be possible to make bonuses small, ineffective from powergamer perspective. But seeing certain bonuses in Fallout, Tropico, or Hearts of Iron I can't see that as

In that case it's better to name them Komarov, Grissom, White, Chaffee, Volkov, Dobrovolsky, Patsayev, Scobee, Smith, McNair, Onizuka, Resnik, Jarvis, McAuliffe, Husband, McCool, Anderson, Ramon, Chawla, Brown, Clark... To be honest, I hope Stardock will add those names, not because I'm greedy and I want to use my "plank" for some other name, but because I can use only one name, and I think we need to honour those people at least in this "primitive" way.

I think I like the idea, of bringing flavours and "human traits" into game. But I'd prefer to extent the suggestion and let us to either customize, or have already customized not just races, but also governors, ministers, and our leaders themselves. It seems at least some Stardock team members are aware of Tropico series, that, probably, would be closest similarty I could come up with (Fallout 1-2/NV are second best). Race leader could have openly positive traits, like being econo
