Are there also limits to orbital structures? And if there are, do they share the limit with ground buildings?

So essentially there are 3 buildings, and you can have (for example) a max of 5 of any kind on a planet and only 10 total on the planet?

The 2d setup was one of the worst features of SOTS. And the combat was nice, but very slow....

If a player has to leave, will an AI take over their empire or can they give it to an ally?

The "unofficial" stardock central is what I have. You can order anything you want with a plain old credit card on it. You do NOT have to get the Totalgaming.net package... Its only useful for buying multiple games. If you do buy anything, you can just stick the serial in SDC. Its really a great system stardock!

Sots is a decent game... kinda... The random, huge tech tree/random events/alien encounters are all great. Empire management, building, combat... Not so good.

Will planets block sensors? Ex. will a fleet on the other side of an attacking fleet be hidden, and can then rush over the poles to reinforce?

Nice screenshots. Those are a LOT of fighters in that first shot! There must be a large amount per ship

The layout seems simpler than the previous one. I kind of like the fact that without giant pictures/sigs it takes less time to load and there are more messages per page.

No pre-ordering yet. We hope to have that set up in the next week or two. That should mean pretty soon. The quote is from frogboy's orginal welcome.

Actually I am not. This thread really has gotten off topic. Anyone have anything good/bad about SD? Since this was supposed to be about publishers, not spam wars.

One of the people from the old forum should make a FAQ. Since Schematicsninja seems to have way too much time... hint hint.

13 ships per race isn't that bad. And there will be mods and (hopefully!) an xpack.

If it has more potential, it will probably be one of your most valuable worlds. Will there be a losing homeworld ends game mode?

hopefully some mods will keep us track (and by "us" i mean schem ) lol

I know. I looked through them once. Congrats on having your name added Alcari... they should definately do more stuff like that.

If this isnt spamming, I don't think I want to see what is

Since the beta comes out in ~12-14 weeks... More than 14 blank buildings/ships... 1 per week? Please

Yet again, if you preorder there will be a beta in January.

If you head to the main site and go to the races part, try the ships list. It tells a little bit about some of their abilities.

Lol In the forum overview thingy. It tell the last ten threads or so.

There is ship customization Really? Is it just cosmetic adjustments like logos, or things like upgraded engines/weapons?

Of the last 10 replies, 7 are yours. Definately not spam

The unique atmospheric conditions seem to be more for telling which race will best be suited for a particular world. Ex. Advent like Desert planets, TEC like Earthlike ones.

If you mean something like the actual ship editor in GC2 where you completely create your own ships, its very unlikely. At most, you might be able to get a custom logo/color.
