Play on a 40" HDTV! Nothing beats the scale esp when you power up all the effects!

Interesting... does this only happen to the Vasari or to all?

So what about us guys that bought the box online and it arriving at home... should we take pictures with the delivery man instead? :SNIFF!:

A Dunov Battleship. A support ship with little offensive weapons. Good to pair with A Kol or something else. For fighters and bombers, an effective strategy is to place 4-6 flak frigates while your hangers and ships have a 2:1 ratio of bombers to fighters in their inventory. Also in order to ensure you have enough cash take note of which planet is not really making money. Trade ports as well as leveling up on the population helps reduce the tax for the planet. For newly acquir

A more likely reason isthat your construction ships are occupied with another construction at the time. If you want to jump the queue you could command the ship to start your shield generators first if you like. If you have not yet researched the construction you will not be allowed to queue it in the construction as the prerequisite is not met.

In one sentence.... Emergency Leave! LOL That's what you would need any way as the game is that addictive... and you want to play it everyday just to make sure you have done everything!

In the Star Wars extended universe an interdictor ship creates an artificial gravity well that prevents ships escaping to hyperspace and can also pull them out of hyperspace. They were shaped like Star Destroyers (ie wedged shaped) but were smaller and had domes on the the surface as the source of the gravity well. They are sinister as you could move these ships around to any system of your choosing. :D

Dear LutjeKabal, I have read your idea and I think it is cool. What I like about this thread is at least all of us are actively contributing ideas in a healthy manner. From the post it seems that there is a consensus that the current PJIs are not really up to scratch (mostly say it is underpowered). Some people want to keep it as simple as possible. Some want level 2 and 3 upgrades. etc.etc.. I hope a Developer can comment on how easy (or not) it is to implement some of our ideas here,

In the spirit of KISS, another way to go is to get rid of PJIs. Instead, just make the ships stay longer in a gravity well. This can be done by; a) Appearing further inside a gravity well b) Making the gravity well bigger c) Making the cool down period slightly longer maybe by 10-20% I still like the limited time (insert suitable time for balancing purposes) interdiction idea (need not be an activated ability - can be autocast as soon as an enemy fleet has entered the s

I also noticed something funny when I played the TEC, a Vasari fleet entered my system which had a phase inhibitor. As soon as it arrived my defenses attacked it. The fleet actually phase jumped in my gravity well. Has any one else seen this? Also I noticed that the PJI's radius is very small. Perhaps with the upgrades it could be made bigger. Will putting more than one PJIs, slow down a fleet more than one? Regards

Cool! Checking in everyday just in case you guys post a new update.. Currently spending on average 4-5 hours a day playing the maps. I have not tried MP yet as my connection is very2 slow. But so far I have increased the number of AI opponents up to 5. hehe.. Regards

Another way to make PJI work is to make them interdict a fleet but only for limited time, maybe 30 seconds, unless it is destroyed in that time. It could be a second or third level ability. The first level does what it does now, slowing down the cooling down before a phase jump. A second level will slow down the cooling down further and a third level is an activated ability that interdicts a fleet for thirty seconds. This way if we have more than one PJIs, then we can activate them in sequence.

Any news on adding the extra fast gameplay mode for speed junkies... Also, is there a way to make the fleet travel faster in the gravity well especially if the fleet is only passing through the planet en-route to another destination? Regards

Not yet.. but then again I am half way around the world! :LOL:

Cool!!!!!!!!!

I have been playing the game for the last 14 hours and I must say that to take out one of those capital ships definitely need to focus fire. Bombers to soften it up then one of the capital ship weapon that removes shields. As to the shield mitigation it has saved a few of my capital ships when they need to make a tactical withdrawal. As to the logic, maybe just a simple matter of if too many ships fire on one target some may not get a good lock and not hit a critical system.<b

The manual is 31 mb... I think it should be okay to give the manual. Besides, we have already purchased the product. David, what's your email address and can it accept large files? Regards

I was hoping that the campaign and additional content would be made free to all, as part of the reward our ongoing support for the game. If it is an expansion and have to be paid for, please make it cheap. As it is I am looking forward to the modding community to come up with as much content as possible. Who knows if I am hit by the creativity bug I would make my own stories. Have fun! I just installed my game and currently updating my drivers before I play.

whoops now its back to 2008... my bad

Why are the time stamps for the post showing 2007?

I loved the battles in HW and HW2. It was one of the few games that I played the single player game a second time round just to see how many more capital ships I could build a second time round. As a fan of huge space battles I hope I won't be disappointed by the battles in SoaSE.

There was another post earlier on a machine running vista 64 experiencing some problems. Is it a coincidence. If it is NVidia 7 series related then I am worried as I am running a 7 series card. I may need to upgrade if I experience problems. At the moment I am still downloading so hope for the best

Thanks for the speedy reply! I will do. Can't wait to play the game.

Seeker Vessel! I hope I saw it right...

Reminds of David Weber and Baen Books. They really reward readers who buy their hard covers. I bought a David Weber book and it had a CD with all the books that he has written. I feel so happy paying for that book. For a company like Stardock and Iron Clad, I would gladly pay for their work as they really listen to the fans and reward the fans. Keep up the good work. I will be buying the game when it comes out here - though it will be quite a wait...
