Frogboy, I think the challenge is making the content meaningful. The more expansions or micro-expansions you have the greater the risk that the product becomes stale. Not to mention that I think that you as developers may lose some degree of innovation when constantly working on the same product for such a long period of time.
It's kind of annoying because i'll often have more than one fleet in a system...
Isn't anyone else experiencing this problem? Am i doing something wrong?
To follow up on my previous and, it should be noted, hastily written, post about the interface... The overall interface could use a bit of an overhaul. I recall commenting on it during the Beta as well. The look and feel of the icons don't look very sharp and are larger than necessary. There is a lot of information on the main screen. Especially on the left hand side. It would be nice if we could simply hotkey or toggle through different types of information for that section versus havi
Craig, The interface takes a lot of room on the screen and there is a lot of information. It may simply be a case of my play style over another's that's making me feel this way. The information is good I think the way it's presented is what's mostly annoying. The left bar can eventually become extraordinarily long. I know you can customize what you want pinned on it but there is some information you want quick access to. Also, aLap may have a bit of a point in regards to the way the int
They do miss. I've seen it. The only thing that I don't believe i've seen miss is lasers. All other weaponry I've seen has missed. Also, don't forget... your target's are mostly stationary. Makes it kind of easy.
Yeah. Good review. My gripes are: 1. The interface. Still looks clunky to me. 2. Lack of an overall story. Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for a single player campagin. I want more depth to the overall universe. It would be great if the maps we were given were parts of the overall war that we're playing out. 3. The pirates. Annoying... 4. Customization. We are sorely missing some customization. The game easily becomes who can get the best tech fastest. Ga
I wish the pirate implementation was a bit... different. I understand all the arguments that have been made so far but still think it's a bit off. It's tiring since pirate attacks are on a clock. Then the bidding war ensues to make sure you're not the one attacked. It just doesn't work for me. Not to mention that you can't alter a relationship with the pirates, or any of the game's empires, in any truly meaningful way ala Gal Civ II.
I hope I'm missing something on this one but... When i set a rally point for newly constructed ships to go to the first one will always follow instructions. However, once the second ship is built the first ship then leaves the rally point and meets up with one of the nearby fleets around the planet. This is a pain when trying to organize your fleets and requires me to have to micromanage each ship as it's built. Is there a workaround or fix for this? Maybe I'm missing a setting that I c
When you use a transport ship to colonize a planet you don't lose the ship... do you?
Played it. It's pretty good. Although some of the same ole problems are still sticking with the series. The scenes in between are pretty good.
Any word on Episode 3?
Assassins Creed God of War II Mass Effect
Do they still make Big Kings?
Hopefully not midi...
Must have something to do with the campaign and how that turns out.
Effectively, if I send a fleet out against an enemy I want to make sure of a few things 1) Bombers are protected 2) Capital Ships with limited defenses against fighters are protected I typically hold these units at the back of my lines till I have broken through an enemy's defense. I therefore set up a formation that would support these two goals. Last thing I would want to happen is to see the fleet's formation fall apart as soon as a move order is given or if a squad of f
hmmm... has this been discussed before?
One beef I've always had with RTS games is that often I will organize my fleet a certain way but that all goes to hell either when the fleet starts to move OR as soon as we get into battle. There are many times where I will simply want my troops to hold the line. How will formations work in this game if at all?
Give em a break. It'll come.
Stardock was great when it came to Dark Avatar. I would expect the same. BTW, I finally gave in and pre-ordered. Very much looking forward to being part of the beta.
Give em time. I'd rather they were busy working on the game than on the forums giving us day-to-day updates.
Supreme Commander is a joke. Played the demo and it is not what it's being billed to be. For those looking to buy I'd hold off till the first reviews are in.
That would be kewl.
non-canned?
