[quote]As far as i know there are no moons currently implemented but i think that there should be some. In RL most planets with any significant gravity have moons, our solar system alone has more than 40.[/quote] and ALL of them except ~6 (including our own) might as well be astroids. thats what moons normally are. Look at Mars, 2 moons, both astroids. Ours moon is EXTREAMLY odd, it was formed by a collision between two planets. Im an Astrophysics major at UCIrvine and there as deff

Since the Pirates do not have an economy right now, this is PRIME real estate for Star Dock and Iron Clad's famous updates. I don't mind them cheating for now, but in the long run, with them really being a player in their own right, they REALLY do need to have rules that they follow. An economy of their own and motivations from self preservation to greed would GREATLY enhance the game play. What do all you think about how a Pirate economy should work?

wow, I've been a beta tester for almost a year and i didnt know there was a sub-category section if you scroll down... thanks for the info, i feel dumb. However it would be good to make something a little more proponent for those knew to the site who done quite know their way around yet.

There is plenty of discussion in the forums about Love/Hate of the pirates. What I want to talk about is specifically the Pirate’s Economy. The devs have mad a big deal about how the AI does not cheat. But what about the pirate AI. Does it need money from the bounties to build ships? Do they get a cut from any black market transactions? How do they seem to start with so many ships? It would make sense to me that the pirates need to make money to build ships. Yes, the pirates were

We need a "Stratagies" or something section of the forums to discuse specific stratagies. Basically a place that is not in the "general" bucket of everything to talk about the playing the game.

Hey I pre-ordered a long time ago, and only ordered the basic digital download. How do I upgrade it to get the CD. Or even beter get the Gold edition??

SEEE just like i said! As i was typing, they showed you they care! ;-) Thanks Blair for your response, it shows that were getting WAY more then we payed for.

As a beta tester who has been with this project for almost a year, I have come to absolutely LOVE the pirate idea. I didnt like it untill I came to understand the Lor of the game. Then it makes compleat sense and actually works to balance the gave very nicely. While I too agree that the preset frequency of the pirate attacks is a little on the quick side, that is easily fixed. I have no doubt that in the next patch it will be tweeked with. that is the GREAT thing about the companies you cho

I probably should have said this earlyer, but the machein i was running the game on is a laptop with sub par stats. It was probably running slower then most computer will run the game, the thing i was concerned about though was the rather larg difference between normal resoures and high resoures. It is possible that it was that specific map or somthing. It just seemed i was constantly waiting for my economy to slowly catch up to whatever i was wanting to build next.

First i just want to congratulate every one at IC and SD!! you guys have done an AMAZING job. This game really is brilliant. It literally is THE game i have been waiting to play for pretty much my whole life... That being said, and since i know you guys want the best game possible; Ill once again through my two cents in as i have many times through out the beta process. Initial Likes: EVERYTHING! really, i wont name them all because that would take too long... Initi

as some one who was apart of PS-Piss from its inception I would still like to see it as an official clan. I understand maybe we should give it some time to get the game going and what not, but eventually i would like to see a clan come out of it. Especially since Space Ponies are an OFFICIAL "acheivement" in the game!! yes i said it correctly, go look through the acheivements at the end game screen and scrole through them all... yes they did put it in and it made me very very happy. Anyway im

Is there any possibility of re-aranging the "porpose" of a given ship. Right now in sins its just alittle anoying to me that each faction as a missle ship, a planet bombarder, a light frigate, a anti-fighter, a command ship, a repair ship... blah blah ext. ext. and so forth. While i TOTALLY understand why they did it, cause balancing would have really sucked (though thats why we pay them), i also understand that it would be really intense to have to balance a mod if we messed up the standard b

Great Job!! ive been looking forward to this mod since you first started talking about it over half a year ago. It looks like youve already got your crew together, but if you need help feel free to ask. Ive had experience moding XML files on GalCiv 2. Ive been a part of the community for the GC2 STMod for years. I have helped with balancing and cannon material suggestions for the official project, and also have done quite a bit of modding on the side myself to satisfy my personal pickyness ab

Hey i was just at the sight and it seems to be very divoid of... well anything. It wont even let me sign in (or sign up) since ive kinda been gone from the sceen for a bit... IDK maybe my computer just wont properly load the page...

HAHA!!! PSPiss Livess onnn!!!

:CONGRAT: nice link!

coughs and adjusts pants... dangggg that is sexy

i dont know if im actually sentient or not... still trying to figure that one out. but if i am then i guess im a sentient object arnt i? and if so why not be a part of a league of other such objects... sounds good to me.

[quote]they shoulda had beta testers! [/quote] solves all the worlds problems...

so long as you admit its a stretch... id take it ;-) besides theres plenty of other things in this particular scifi univers I [I]could[/I] get my little physicist panties in a bunch about... but i choose not to cause its a game and it freeking rocks!

just for the record. The physics involved in actually causing a planet to explode is just rediculous. even if these future races could harness that kind of power, it is most likely the planet would liquefy and then fall back in on its own collective gravity. You cant get rid of matter on this large of a scale. The only way to do that is in an actual nuclear process, in which its not so much the "mater" that is actually being lost but rather energy from the nuclear bonds that is being release

i like the potential of this idea. i think a compromise would be good though. First, i think it should NOT be a hard cap. instead say each layer of research would divide the fleet point usage for that particular type of ship. rather then increasing the "cap" the tech would decrease the amount of points needed to support a cruiser, frig, or cap ship (or maybe leave caps alone the way they are) Second, this would mean the total number of fleet points generated per planet woul

ive gotten the same thing befor. but good to know its fixed. Just this last weekend it happened in a LAN multiplayer game as well. if more info is needed i can also dig some up, but if its already fixed then rock on!

wait... so im tired and slightly confused. DPS stands for what exactly and FF...? maybe ill kick myself for asking as soon as i hit post but its been a long day and i dont quite feel like thinking. and so your saying the lower the mitigation the more damage is done to the ship, but the higher the "harder" the shealds are, thus protecting the ship more in its time of need...? veryy interesting, i was wondering exactly how this worked mathematically. nice to know.

the only consern i have, and i do really like the idea, is that youd need to ensure its special abilities dont conflict with already existing ablities. though i do like the antimater feeder idea.
