I to am dissapointed with the similarity btw the races. best point so far I quote from a previous post [B]To have two races that have barely met , to have the same way of trading , to have the same way of colonising , have the same way of producing culture , have the same way of making ships , does not help the immersion factor.[/B] i believe its says everything edit : although i'll wait for the final release before making a judgement Lo

During an invasion of my capital planet i tried to build a gauss platform . After the invasion was over i noticed the gauss platform at 0% construction was still auto attacking a single ship. I now have a new capital and i have moved on as has the game yet this small event in time is still there. ( the gauss platform auto attack on the single ship). I can take a screen shot if you like ? love the improvements in beta 3 especially the gas giants and the info on the different

Some Suggestions 1) improve the dynamics of plantary assault - incorporate troop ships and allow defenders some chance of staving off an assault for a limited time ( maybe until help arrives etc ) . Also make a full blown planet orbital assault at least damage the planet for future use ( maybe bacause of damage done to planet ecosystem by constant bombardment (timed ) etc).How about incorparating plant based automated defense canons to attack ships attacking from orbit to make

Noticed today when i went to attack the last planet of a particular faction - I sent my large fleet ammassed at my nearest planet in. When they arrived and had finished dropping out of hyperspace and started attacking the enermy, i noticed more ships where still arriving for a very extended time ( all forms) - had a look at my other planets and bases and for some reason all of my other ships at all my other bases and planets had mysteriously decided to make there way to the battle ?????<br

The best thing to do would be to make the showing of these icons(unit active effects) as an option in setup. heres another example -

I had massive slow probs at one stage was advised online could be invalid and chocked registry entries. Bought a program called "registry mechanic " by PC tools - did appear to fix the problem and with regular use my system has returned to normal - maybe worh having a look at . Also have a look at mike lins free program called "startup control panel " allows you to stop all the rubbish loading up on initial startup - also a major problem with slow downs .

Cant be geforce cards mines a 7600gt with 256mb ram (card ) and the game runs stellar at all optimal levels. Id suggest its some other sort of conflict causing the issue. seems you have a whizz bang system yet some of us with less than stellar systems have no problems.

Thats interesting i wasnt aware of that - but surely there may be some other way of signifying it - the red globes really do look ridiculous in battle. But is there really any need to signify those ships ? Sorry it really does look strange - i thought they where some whizz bang forcefield

I find the green directional arrows come up during battles if your cursor touches a ship.Shouldnt the directional arrows only show when you move a ship yourself not during auto move during a battle - it looks bad particularly on the Kol battlship.Consider making the arrows auto disable during combat.(the arrows look worse when zoomed in during combat and you happen to touch a ship with a cursor when moving around to enjoy the battle) they really destroy the visual experience. The red f

Agree on Legacy what a disgraceful game - i was lucky bought it home loaded it on saw it was a pile of shite - had some clear contact at home ( Kmart here puts circular clear contact over end of disk container)so cut new circle out stuck over end told a white lie and got refund . worse game ever released.( close to fraud going on graphics on back of box ) so your right i'll never mention that subject again <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Crying.gif" borde

Played my first all out battle today with heaps of captal ships etc - WOW this is one great eye feast even at beta stage . In my opinion afer todays battle this is light years above any other game of this style ive played. I must say id be happy with the game as it is now - cant wait to see finished product. Love the battleship sounds and fire from front looks fantastic with multiple capital ships engaged.(dont change it ) great job Ironclad - maybe you guys should have d

I disagree with too much automation i quite like the setup so far in the game - what it needs is more in depth research. Id like to be able to do more with the planet surface - maybe some structures could be built on planet surface instead of out in space. But all in all im very impressed so far with the updated beta.

Ive now played for a few days and in my opinion these are the issues . 1) weird how fleets come into your home planet blast most of your ships then leave then continue to send trade ships in only to be blasted by my remaining capital ship as they enter system to go to trade port( i would have thought once there fleet attacks trade would cease until peace is renegotiated). 2)space feel - darker star ridden sky in new update is a tremendous step in right direction . 3)

Sorry i meant samples - is 4x the highest ? excuse my ignorance i have a top end system and want to set everything has high as possible. much much better - really feels like your in expansive space

I think the last update has given the game the missing space feel . The greyey black star ridden sky with the light from the star is SPOT ON . Well done Ironclad - thank god the orange is gone .(if this is not part of the update and its just random please ensure the option to play whole game in this sort of sky . One thing i did notice when you intial zoom into ships they appear to be vibrating then once you move a ship they then seem to stabilise. But all in all very impressiv

Very true Cant wait for the final release - hopefully will be worth the wait . But youve got to give Ironclad a big pat on the back for allowing prerelase buyers to beta test . Its great to be able play a beta test and put forward potential probelms or suggestions - well done Ironclad.

Obviously Ashbery76 you have never played X3 Reunion .( should have said thats the one ive got ) Which is also a stategy game with large amounts of ships on screen and giant space stations etc.Take a look at this site then tell me ironclad cant do much better with the feel . My point being MY VIEW is as ive said unless they make the backgrounds feel more like your commanding ships in space then this game will be a big let down when released. Ashberry76 got this li

Sorry i have to disagree either they are in space or they are not. I feel the biggest problem in the beta so far is the lack of feeling like you are actually dealing with space ships in space (because of the backgrounds ). Sorry for saying this but at this stage X2 reunion creates a more realistic feel . As i said, have a look at X2 Reuninon and see how Ironclad should do the backgrounds to create a space feel then decide if you like the disco back ground in beta 1. <b
