[quote who="dthif1980" reply="75" id="2386283"]Hey. I was keeping my last Totalgaming token for this micro-expansion... On their website, I don't see the place to pre-order. If not available, will it be possible to buy it that way? I hope so! [/quote] bump... can Stardock confirm me something about this at this point? I only waiting for that for pre-order. My last token is waiting... :)

Great preview, thanks goodgimp. I must try it before... really not sure my PC will handle it :( It's a shame they don't have a playable demo!
I checked X3:TC. Well, I ran the demo that benchmark my PC and I don't think I can run it hehe. My average FPS is 14. But, I have a new laptop and I'll try on it. In the meantime, even after watching the demo and the trailer, I have absolutly no idea of the gameplay. All I say is screenshots of space with ships or battles presented like a video. How do you play this game, how do you trade, etc? I can't find screenshots with text! :) Thanks
wow, lots of suggestions! I'll make some research and try those games, especially if there are demos out. Thanks to you all for all this, I'll surely find something I like in all this. But, keep the thread active, I'm sure there are others hehe.
Hey, I've been a huge fan of the X-Wing series and let's say a good fan of the Wing Commander series. Also, in those, there is one game that I very much liked, at least for the ideas, was Wing Commander Privateer. Being a smuggler and combat pilot was really nice. I liked the fact that you had to smuggle goods to make money and fight through it and improve you ship with different parts. Since those games, the PC industry very much abandoned this s
I second that!
[quote who="Mooster" reply="6" id="2276231"]I have a question for the OP, did you not read the spec the games needs, or are you just asking this question because you were bored?! [/quote] constructive comments. I asked because I wanted to know and yes I read the specs. Please read reply #9 from VarekRaith . Plus,
Harpo: yeah... My problem is that I need to finance it at the moment. The only ways I have are: Dell and stores (like FutureShop). With stores, I searched a lot around my place and haven't found any laptop having a nice video card below 1500$. But this Dell model has a big discount presently, so that's kind of my only choice hehe. And it comes with Vista... But out of curiosity, what do you think of Dell and why? thanks guys, I'll order it!
Hey, I'm about to buy a laptop and my final question is if Sins will play ok on it. I don't have the money to buy a war machine, so that's basically the highest I can go. If this laptop cannot do it, I'll just buy a cheaper one and stick with its main purpose: school. Here it goes: Dell Studio 15 - with Vista Home Premium 64bits 4Gb Ram DDR2 800MHz Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz/1066Mhz FSB/3MB cache) 512MB ATI Mo
If somebody wants to gamble, St.Louis are playing incredibly well till the trade deadline... actually, they are the best team since then in the NHL (according to win %). Them and Carolina are nice sleeper picks :)
Injuries are making things really hard to guess... Hossa is down in Detroit, Elias in NJ... But also, every team is better than last year... Detroit vs MTL/Pitts last year wasn't really hard to guessm but this year, man it's gonna be tight. I would go for SJ vs Boston with Boston winning it in 6.
[quote] The first versions of the Phase-Jump Inhibitor prevented ships to jump to planets you possessed. Now it's a engine-charging delay. That being said, I would increment that delay produced by the Inhibitors and the Vasari cap ship.

Just don't use the
This Interdictor idea has been discussed many many times in the BETAs. You will find this out by doing a search of the forums.

[quote]i still doubt stardock would look favorably on someone installing there game on a bunch of friends computers which obviously means loss of sales and its pretty much piracy imo. please dont take advantage of stardocks good nature of them not using copy protection for single player and lan games. i feel its worth the money and i would hope you and your friends do to [/quote] I don't think it's piracy. First, Stardock has chosen to not protect their CD you know why? Because
Hey, what's the main difference between the two roles? For example, for Sins, who made what? I know what it development, but I'm curious about where it ends (the role). Thanks
was my joke good or not!! :NOTSURE: *Feels ashamed* Sorry, english isn't my first language so, I'm missing some expressions like "indies" hehe. Edit: oh... and it's written "© 2003-2007 Ironclad Games Corporation [B]Vancouver, BC[/B]. All rights reserved" at the bottom of the forum ehehhe.
Great post, Frogboy. Didn't know Stardock (and Ironclad) were from India! We have some business there hehe. Anyway, once again, congratulations for your efforts. You are a model to follow in the gaming industry. This game is just great, as GalCiv2 is (Even if I complain from post to post about the 4x factor in the game, I just do it to shake things up hehe) Long live to Stardock and Ironclad. Quality products.
yeah, I know. My question is related to this comment: [quote]I would say that Normal speed in the internal builds is now pretty fast (compared to Beta 4). That may have to do with the fact that the game is almost entirely different in many respects, but it plays nicely IMO.[\quote] If normal is now really faster than what was present in Beta 4 (where the normal speed there was ok for me), I don't want to play on normal speed. Will the Slow speed be something like the normal of
you make my day, Yarlen. What about the speed settings? I like slow paced games. Will I be able to have the "normal" speed of Beta 2-3-4?
[quote]And what is your impression personally for the Beta, will the finished product be a grail for an RTS fan as myself?[/quote] Oh... according to Beta 4, you'll like this game as it is really more RTS than 4x IMO. According to the devs, the final version should be more balanced between RTS and 4x. If it is to much RTS for my taste, e-mail me and I'll sell you my copy :) [quote]I would say that Normal speed in the internal builds is now pretty fast (compared to Beta 4). That

But I'm a hardcore micronaut and I live for very long, slow moving methodical sophisticated simulations with surgical attack precision involving multiple platforms complimented with a supremely robust diplomatic and highly dynamic subterfuge systems topped off with a rather complex and refined tech tree and advanced economic model sporting a deft touch of randomness and galactic scale uncertainty with multitudes of variables.

Craig: Thanks a lot for the update. I will hold down to my copy until the release I guess :)
Craig, do you think the balance between RTS and 4x will be much closer when the final features will be in (on release), or will it stay approximatly the same as now, taking into consideration that the poll is highly favoring 4x?
would be kewl to have front, back, left and right shields and have the ships trying to work with it. I read that they do not intend to have ship components damage (like no more batteries, no more engines, etc...) so I doubt they will change the shield system.
