I was wondering about this too. I was thinking of purchasing rebellion, and was wondering if I would be able to run diplomacy owning only base and rebellion. I would mostly be interested because the mods for diplomacy appear to be numerous and in general more completed / higher quality.
I have the string error after I build a culture center. The +% from culture is replaced with a cannot find string error in the planet window. Also, when I got the lvl 6 ability (dinintigration?) for the Vasari missile capital ship, another string error occured which crashed the game.
It would be a good idea for a higher level research. With some limitations of course... the pods should not be able to jump through phase space on their own, but be attached to ships. These pods should not fire for some time after jump, and be extremely susceptible to weapons fire until then. This also leads to stationary pods to be layed down in systems, and maybe point defense or electronic warfare pods or addons. Pretty much anything from the series would be nice in the game, though.
Hmmm... build your own mini-planet as a massively advanced tech?
Assumption 1: Completely agree. Game feels like swarms of scout frigates currently IMO, the true tactical skill in the game is the person who relies on combined arms. The guy who just cranks out tons of heavy frigates and tosses them at their enemy should get mowed down by the player with a more thoughtful strategy. Exactly! I would like to see fleets that work together, auto using special abilities and their strong points (
Sorry, double post.
True. I just use Scout Swarms until I can tech up to captitals. Then I just use fleets of 12-20 capital ships. Only useful frigate is the construction frigate. The battles do seem the same after a while though...AI swarm of scout frigates vs. my swarm of scout frigates...
Maybe an option to set game speed? From Quick to Epic? Basically what archpsi said.
3) make it the only fully customizable ship in the game, where you have 3 weapon slots, 5 device slots and 3 armour/shield slots and you upgrade it at a specific structure. Excellent idea! All of the battles near the beginning seem to identical as is. A lot of scout frigates, maybe an occasional flak or siege frigate, and if the AI is being really ambitious, a Kol Battlecruiser.
The galaxy (or solar system) could use some help. But it doesn't need a complete rebuilding... more jump lanes, moons/anomolies would be a great start!
We have another patch coming out for Easter with a variety of goodies and some fixes. Goodies!
I used to play sword of the stars a lot, but it had a couple problems Did they ever fix the auto combat? It used to be horrible... It didn't take into account anything like shields, engines, point defense. It looked like it just used attack and health to decide a winner. Also, did they fix the ships AI? They turned horribly, and my dreadnaughts would waste 32 missiles on a destroyer that only needed 4.
Aww..I liked that crazy income thing. I got a quarter million credits in five minutes...thats a lot of capital ship experience!
Maybe just make it so that ships can't jump through gravity wells...I find that really annoying.
Nice updates!
I like the different colored beams! The light yellow/orange used for almost everything gets old pretty fast.
I agree about upkeep. If it has a hard number, its based on your economy more than -50 percent economy for 20 ships Also, are there any other backgrounds than that rosy orange one? And if so, is there an option to get them? The orange gets extremely annoying.
Stardock said my preorder didn't go through. I guess I'll have to reorder thern.
I also have not received an email. Frogboy said that everyone should have received the emails by now...
How about not getting the email at all! and having to listen to all the others say how great it is...
I am not sure what you mean by register... If you mean do I have an account, then yes I do. If you mean put in the actual beta key, well, I need to get the email first...still waiting.
Hmm..thats weird. I got it to download before, but it was on the wrong account so it didn't authenticate. I uninstalled it and moved to the other account, but now it won't reinstall on either. Do I have to register it or something before downloading?
Meh, All you lucky people. I don't have the email yet... Anyone from stardock know when all the emails will be sent out? Looking forward to getting it!
Actually, we have more than enough food in the world for everyone to have quite a bit more than they need. The problem is getting it to them...
IE7 all the way!!! Someone else sane! I'm not alone!
