I've take well over 10-15 screenshots of my full tech tree, had no issues... Looks to me like you have a video card issue. Other in-game screenshots work fine though...weird!

maybe in school you were never taught the number 10.... yeah... i wuz lurned nyne theen cumes eelavan!

I was trying to take a screenshot (Print Screen key) of my completed tech tree and *POOF* my system reboots. Happened twice now, no mini-dumps, nothing in the event viewer, etc... In the screenshot folder I get this: Are we allowed to take screenshots of this?

level 11 cap ship too level 10 should be the max Lemme verify, I may have just saw it wrong...

yeah I agree, with 2 or so patches a week (give or take), its to hard to really say when to build what... With the TEC right now its simple and makes the most sense to tech up the right side to get to the TradePort ASAP. It's income is what fuels the entire game... I've succefully completed both combat and empire tech trees (missing a few artifacts)... I have a level 11 cap ship too, how high can they go? btw...it's fai

Pirates need to have their own bases on either Asteroid Planets or Dead Asteroids (I prefer special pirate bases on Dead Asteroids). They should attack and raid nearby players that have bounties on them. This would both make pirates more fun and increase the usefulness of bounties. It appears their only affect is being a minor nuisance, as a few frigs and cap ships going ahead of your colonizing frig, seems to take care of them nicely. Do they

Hey Slimpinto, just so you know, Phase Space Inhibitors stop enemy ships from leap frogging through your systems. Doesn't the Phase Jump Immunity tech make this irrelevant?

I think another sticky post is in order... I'm a n00b and need some hand holding. I'm also a big fan of walk-throughs/gameplay guides. Who (ub3r l337 gamers) out there is willing to pony up and write a "best practices" guide for those of us "lost" when trying to play this game? I'm not proposing a guide like those the competitive StarCraft players use, i.e. Build x of y at 15 seconds, etc...Just some subtle hints of when to tech up, what's a good, rounded fleet composed of etc.

I'm going to chime in for the first time. I need to clarify that I am by no means a gaming professional, so let's just get that out of the way...I stink at 4x games. I do fairly well with the RTS genre though and LOVED the Homeworld series. So...naturally any space game created by some of the guys who made anything Homeworld, will definitely grace my harddrive! I started my frst big game (with 3 AI's, the rest defaults) and began to turtle. 3 hours later and a (what I consider) BIG flee

Yeah, I get a computer freeze when I use it. I can take one long movie, shut it down the first time fine. Any subsequent starts with Fraps and then stops, my PC locks up. Very weird...

I fancy, "It's out, when it's out!"... At least this way,you won't hear as many whiney post complaining,when a proposed target date slips!

(Sorry in advance, if already mentioned in old or new forum) Pilot/cockpit view (a la Cataclysm) I missed that in HW2!!!
