Thank you very much. I will do that if I find the time.

What I am really asking for is the average poly count of the different ship classes that are currently in game. The game runs fine on my mid level system, so if I were to hypothetically model anything with aspirations of putting it in game, I would want to achieve similar levels of playability.

First off, I apologize if this has already been asked, and I somehow missed the thread. I do a little bit of 3D modeling as a hobby, so I was wondering what is the acceptable polygon count (or whatever is the terminology) for each of the different ship classes. If the Devs can take some time off from making the best game in history, I would be very thankful.

I think he means that you could turn it on and off. I think that this is a great idea. I always get annoyed with the names. I never bother to memorize them all. With this feature, I would only have to memorize a few. Also, with the display showing incoming ships, it would be much easier. With the current system, I am always zooming all the way out just so that I can see what it means when ships are incoming at planet "x".

"All drives to full! Bring Weapons to bear! LEEEEROOYYYY JEEEEENKINS!!!!!" sorry, just had to do that. Just a random thought, but wouldn't it be funny if the Kodiaks said that when they engaged the intercept ability?

I just suggested that because from a scientific point, a solar flare makes more sense than a radiation storm from outside the solar system. I just think that the likelihood of the solar system crossing the path of massive radiation storm is low. When I said damage to ships I meant only light damage within the asteroid and planetary gravity wells. It would be more of a nuisance than anything, if it were not for the shields being brought down. However, if a ship is caught within a flar

Hmmm... By "Radiation Storm", are you talking about solar flares? If so, it could be that the sun is always emitting these flares, it is just that the flares do not always line up with a planet/asteroid system. When this occurs, massive sheets of radiation would wash through all systems in its path, damaging all lightly armored ships and platforms. Perhaps the radiation impact on ships would be greater when the ships are within the star's gravity well. This could make for some interesting ba

I find it bizarre that the pirates keep on popping up out of nothingness. This really ticks me off. I have seen some suggestions on the forums about having pirate bases and the like. I think that this is a move in the right direction. However, it is too simple. If pirates were spawned from a few obvious pirate bases, then it would be (relatively) easy to take them out, and not have to worry/be annoyed by them for the rest of the game. Therefore, it is my opinion that if

Currently Stars are dead zones. The only use I have seen for them is as waypoints to other systems/galaxies. Other than that, they are useless. Here is what I believe to a possible solution. A sort of orbiting station that is set up by a special ability by one of the Capital Ships. This station would be the equivalent of a massive power station. This station would spawn a new type of civilian ship, which is essentially a massive flying battery. These ships would then travel to tra

AMD Dual Core Processor 2.2 Ghz 1 Gig Ram 256 Nvidea Geforce graphics card I have only encountered the following bug once. Whether or not it is reproducible or not, I do not know. An enemy fleet was approaching one of my systems. I immediately ordered the construction of defenses, which I had neglected for that system. These defenses included a Phase Inhibitor. As soon as the enemy fleet jumped in, their phase drives were disabled, EVEN THOUGH THE PHASE INHIBITOR HA

I would like to be able to customize the number of planets per star. I just recently played a game where all players started in the same system. I eventually managed to get my ships off to other stars, in hopes of finding unclaimed riches. Instead, I found approx. 5 stars per system. I found this extremely disappointing, because I was expecting the number of stars to be around that of the staring system. Another thing. So far, it never seems as though the players ever start anywher

One compatibility problem I noticed was a follows: I was zoomed in close to a squadron of about 20 ships. I was observing them do attack a planet. At a point, the ships all fired at once, and a large number of explosions ensued. At this point, my computer completely froze, and I was forced to reboot. All of the settings were on default, except for the textures, which I had set to medium. My specs: AMD Athlon 64 processor running at 2.4 Ghz approx 1.3 Gigs of RAM<b

I found the inverted horizontal rotation to be very annoying. I think that at least there should be an option to switch it to normal. My Specs: AMD Athlon 64 processor running at 2.4 Ghz approx 1.3 Gigs of RAM 128 mb integrated graphics card I think that an auto save function should be added in, for when glitches mess up the game, and for other instances. Great Game

When I activate the game, the game shows the beginning movie, and then shows the title screen. It then drops to the desktop, but with this black screen in the upper left hand corner. I tried to change the showintromovies code to false, but it does not fix it.

Thank you for your swift reply. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention one thing. When I preordered, the e-mail address I put in was my mom's, because I was ordering with her credit card, and I thought that the address was pertaining to that. I already have an account, but from what I can see, it will only download to my mother's. Is this correct? If so, I assume that I will be able to transfer the file over to my own computer once the download is complete?
