Playing a comp stomp with a friend today to try out the changes, wish us luck!

I don't see it specifically mentioned on the list (unless maybe it is part of the tiers/ dependencies fix), but did the Rebel inability to capture the occupation victory planet after Truce Among Rogues is researched get fixed in this patch?

So that's not a new feature, eh?  Shows what I know....

Why can I not install the update? Steam reports that Rebellion is "Ready to Play" and when I start the game and begin ICO Online it immediately reports "Old Version detected please ensure that you have the latest update." Can anyone assist? Thanks.

good deal. now back to my long hours of rebellion

It won't be enough.

The stargate mod's Atlantis is bassiclly a titan in all but name and even if you don't abuse the free cap ship trick to get it free it can be got by the later mid game stage. And thats despite it being a Tech 5 research instead of Tech 4, and being some 25,000/2,000/2,400 in cost and a 720 second build time, (plus a more expensive longer research and 400 supply). Without at least a 2 level increase in the researches it's never going to come out at an appropriatte time. All this really does is stop titan rushing from game start. It dosen't do anything about people getting it well before somthing this powerful should actually be on the feild.

Titan changes help, but I'm not sure this was the right way to go about it.  Increasing the total cost and time is fine, but instead of putting all the cost upfront it would have made more sense to increase the tech level of the research from 1-4 to 3-6 or something.  This would spread the cost out over time instead of demanding a HUGE upfront cost, which makes it unreasonable to buy in 1v1 and 2v2.  Seriously, if you can afford to wait until you have 10,500 credits, 1,400 metal and 875 crystal - plus the 2 cap ship pop upgrades - in such game situations your opponent(s) is turtling too hard or you're playing a gigantic map.  Titans need to be a viable option in 1v1.  Rushing for one should be suicide of course, but teching for one needs to be a viable risk not an auto-loss.

What about making them weaker initially but having them scale extremely well?  Could be another direction.

How did you dix it, because I can't get steam to detect the update!

I think the structure capping should be back in and make it so that the capped structure works for the player who captured it. Think of capping a repair platform, defense turret, etc mid battle or a resource extractor. Or a novalith cannon and turning it ion its owner. Structure cappping adds another layer of tactics.

anyone get this to run on windows 8 yet?

Was the ships getting lost issue addressed?  IE.  Send ships to a planet gravity well then they would disappear off screen, resulting in a ship at a system on tabs but not physically there.

Thanks for the update was wondering when it was gonna hit. 

it's going to be a while, from some pictures of their titans we've seen the loyalists are quite a lot of steps away from complete as their titan is still using a lot of placholder UI and weapon FX elements. Also be prepeared for a shock. You probably haven't noticed it at the artifact planet, but their fighters now use pulse beams instad of phase missiles.
