So much cool info on the old forums. Though it all could be outdated by now. But I do remember the whole shield mitigation debate.

Yeah whatever happened to those old forums Blair?

Angels Fall First would be amazing for this game.

You know, you don't have to follow the shows timeline. You can make it up as you go. But I agree, a setting in the first Cylon war would be unique. However we do not know what the cylon ships looked like back then.

Diplomacy will most likely shine in Multiplayer, but Backstabbing and devious acts of sedition against your allies should be expected. Thou, you can win if you are allied to all the remaining factions.

I liked EAW... Though I didn't necessarily buy it. Just borrowed from a friend.

Read the 1up preview. The TEC's tech tree is very focused on Trade and Industry. 1up SOASE Preview

I'm in it for the multiplayer as well zimbot, however more delving into the story of the universe would be nice to.

ThesapianSeagull is correct, a true artist doesn't do it for the money. But for the fans. But yes money is nice.

Other then whats on the website, and the little bits of information available in the Beta. How much more back-story or information on the Universe of SOASE will we receive? If their is more info will it be in the Manual? Game? Website? Will their be a Campaign?

LodossKnight is right, the TEC are the master merchants, industrialists, and economists of the galaxy.

We could start it now, but however we should wait until the final release to implement it.

All Hail Ironclad, All Hail Stardock... May many more great games be spawned from their imaginations!

I understand baby steps, but a few baby steps to more options for customizing the galaxy, maybe more then 4 star systems.

Hizaed, my comment was more directed at Sentient. But I do understand your concerns, I just don't want a potential neat ability either removed or destroyed.

Ironclad, you guys cease to amaze me. Just waiting for more stuff to play with in this beta.

Trade ports yes, but Refinery Stations... maybe.

Random events maybe like those from SOTS, galactic events would be cool too. Maybe a star going nova.

Will we get updates for more races, and the rest of the TEC stuff? Or is that until Beta 2?

The history channel is boring, now Discovery. Some of the best shows on TV.

If you pump a lot research into the culture towers, I think thats when you start to see the FOW lifted. But as of now I at least don't do that, tend to build military fleets then conquer through peaceful means. Though the bounty system is a cool touch.

Hey its fine, but yeah its their so the economy can be driven. My guess, is that its a TEC only structure which gives them an advantage in the economy portion of the game. In the TEC's backstory, they were the financial, cultural, merchant masters of their domain. And thats why in general their ships aren't powerful.

I hate what star wars has become, except for the cool stuff in between episode 3 and 4. And the old republic. But Admiral Palleon is more then Thrawn, Piett, and a bag of chips. He's out lived the emperor. And no I am not a Star Wars nerd, just a good friend of mine is... oh and I read. Long live the TEC! (Added for relevance to the fourm)

I'm with you lordkosc, the pwnicus shall be avenged. And I third the wierd name. Long live the Great Button of Mystery. Now back to reality... Blair will the orange button allow us to see how much damage our ship does at current time? And give stats on all the bonuses applied from research?

Yeah its not a bug, it says so in the description of the Refinery Station. Is everyone trying to find fault with this game? (The question isn't meant as an insult, just a lot of people with hot air as of late.)
