kitkun, I had firefox 6.01 do the same to me, and it is bloody frustrating, along with the useless page that tells me my browser is up to date, AND IS NOT IN my homepage list.

and the dragon is comodo's dragon, which they claim is a secured chrome browser with their branding and dns servers.

Pale moon is firefox without the cross OS stuff built in so that it's optimized to run with windows much better.
End of Stant123's quote

Well Pale moon is Firefox without :

- Crash reporter

- Parental control

- ActiveX and ActiveX scripting

- Accessibility features

and recompiled using SSE2 instruction set for improve the speed... mean that Pale Moon binary need a Intel processor newer that 2001 or a AMD processor newer that 2003

Well considering they've shown us concepts of what looks like two TEC titans, that's both your art and (likely) your rebel/loyalist theme. I doubt the existing ships will look too very different than they do now (save perhaps the particle effects), but yes I think we all would love some details on the rebel/loyalist relations (mechanics wise, though we finally know a little about the lore).

These requirements make me sad, very sad, I have no money to buy a new computer, and my current one is a quad core processor, 3GB of ram, windows xp (not sure about the bit) I only have 7GB of memory storage left, my video card is only 8600 nvidia, man! my computer wont be able to do this game, well, I'm stuck with entrenchment.

Actually you should. Just not at top end.

One thing about IronClad is that they have worked and re-worked the .exe and game to run better on lower end machines over and over again. Don't worry bud. :-)

Should run well enough, though it sounds like you could probably do with more RAM and HD space in general. Just don't crank up the additional graphics to max or play on super huge maps.  With a quad-core, I think you'd get better speed out of Windows 7 at this point anyway if that's affordable for you.

As is everyone else...  That's the Athena, the [presumed] TEC rebel titan.  The other one on the box art is the [presumed] TEC loyalist titan.  We haven't gotten a good enough shot to read the name on the box art yet, though another one of the Athena (can be found on facebook) clearly shows it's name printed on the side of it with a Kol beside it for scale.

Motherships? There is just Titans, corvettes and a new capitalship, plus any rebel/loyalist specific units they come up with. Exactly what they do or look like we have no idea (besides the two titans we've seen).

I'm getting some sort of annoying/weird problem with sub messages shrinking in size when I mouse over.  Any way to fix that?  it's annoying.

I wish there was. At the moment the only think I can say is to try using a different browser when coming here.
