thats no different from saving a game with a ship in the middle of a phase gate and then loading the same one. aslong as the game is paused while the ship is moving it isnt going anywhere its just a coordinate. [b]by your arguments mmos arent possible either[/b] [b] My suggestion is barely any different from people in a lobby continuing on from a save game thats why there would need to be a pause, auto save for everyone and then the new user is sent the savegame , everyone i

carbon16 im sure i stated in one of my posts the game should pause when a user joins. user trys to connect, gets connection response accepted, game pauses with the message "new player replacing XXXX" , game autosaves (so everyone is at the same point) , host uploads the save file to the new user, new user loads the game world, the game unpauses and play continues. just because alot of americans have rather slow upload rates of around 30KB/s doesnt mean the rest of the world does and

eve-online has some good effects some modder could maybe steal ideas from if you can mod the effects in this game http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/video/2/RevelationsTrailer.wmv it does zoomed out combat aswell with ships as icons u can see a bit of that in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5puGFPq3Sc&feature=related

[quote] I'm pretty sure you can already do this, just save, send the save file to the other guy, have him join and he'll join back in the slot where he was before. [/quote] you can not tell a random person who drops from your game you will be rehosting the game and loading from a save, you can not find a random person in the lobby to take there place with a save game file either and you can not garuntee if you do reload from a save game that the r

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

you cant play multiplayer without a legit copy with a serial key you also wont be able to download any updates without a legit copy

with the ammount of people that drop from multiplayer games i feel it is really needed to be able to join an already existing game and be able to take over an AI spot from where someone has left. i know its possible because in civ4 you can do that. just to be clear i mean. player A drops > AI takes over > player X joins and controls player A's planets and fleets. i understand it would mean rewriting how the lobby works and probably a fair bit of coding but the save games ar

i was tec the other day upto around 10 or so capital ships but couldnt train for more crew because i couldnt find "crisis funding" or whatever was the pre req to one of the levels im either blind or it doesnt exist under that name for that race, so yea i agree maybe shift+clicking could let you learn the pre req instead of a normal click

[quote]Best advice you can give a Vista gamer is to tell them to wipe the drive and put XP on it. Seriously.[/quote] lol yea i uninstalled vista and went back to xp until i really need dx10, i just hated it and i had to spend around and hour tweaking all the services and turning off all the junk before i was happy with it anyway and by then it wasnt much more than xp with dx10 ;p maybe i can survive with xp until 2009

ive had a 12% dmg increase which effected every ship and a hull which gave i think it was 17% hitpoints

ive never seen anything but the same backdrop since i got the game :(

if they still have the bandwidth they did i was pulling in 2400KB/s which is my max so wont take u long at all if you have a 20mbit download like me or more :D its only around 900mb of data btw

whats the error msg? i dual boot win2k/xp maybe i could log into windows2k and try and launch the game to see what happens, dont have time right now though

the research it already done and its put into production, silly that u need to keep the labs. its like someone in a kitchen baking some bread with a recipe and as soon as hes learnt hot to bake it but throws the recipe away the kitchen wont let him bake! :CONGRAT:

i can alt tab with sins fine under xp, maybe norton has the options of adding the sins of a solar empire exe as a trusted file though? if you know something is going to be from a legit company theres generally no need to be worring about it beeing scanned. if you have a router like many people do these days and it has a hardware firewall you should be fine turning off your antivirus for some time. i run kaspesrsky AV and usually i just disable it unless im going to some sus

i never got an email when i bought the game ,i chose to create an account during the ordering process but it doesnt apear that the website even did that, after waiting for 5 minutes i noticed the serial number was listed on the receipt page, i tried to login using the account info i used when aparently registering during the purchasing process but it didnt work, so i simply made a new account with the same email address as i used when ordering, logged into stardock central and stuck in the seria
