[quote]A campaign will make more people interested in the game. If its already planned for then Im happy! If not, then it should be! We can go into great detail why an interactive story is important: [size="6"][B]a) more people will buy the game to play through the story[/B][/size] [size="6"][B]b) a story makes people more interested in the game![/B][/size] c) People care more about games that they feel connected to. right now the game is pret

i'm officially not endorsing this petition. this game is sandbox. there's more important things for the devs to help us with right now.
subject.
yup. anyone that pirates the game, will have ZERO access to DLC.
[quote]They backstabbed you 0300. I wish that you could gain some friendliness for giving them resources though; perhaps have the benifets decrease depending on how much resources they have, and how much you've given them. [/quote] it was my first attempt at diplomacy and they backstabbed me? must happen pretty frequently. i'd much rather keep my resources and credits and kill everyone.
[quote]I have only attempted diplomacy once, and they attacked me for no reason. (I was only fighting pirates to level my capital ship at the time) I think the diplomacy is broken right now. [/quote] the same thing happened to me. i was at 50% with a faction, all was good, trade agreement, etc....then they attacked me and it went down to 0. now i'm just gearing up to exterminate thier entire race. they need to patch the diplomacy system.
[quote]If you're referring to a printed strategy guide, I believe Stardock said there won't be one. As far as user guides, I know a few folks said they would be working on one and hope to have it out about a week or so after release (so, soon). [/quote] that's really dissapointing. i was looking forward to getting one. oh well.
lol. them halo kiddies will keep coming in here for the next couple months, dissapointed in thier purchase. it's amusing to me now.
must train crews to pilot capital ships too.
[quote]Donations won't increase their opinion unless they actually ask for the stuff. It's kinda weird that way, but then if donations improved it, you could just flood all the AIs with resources and make friends with all of them, and that'd be quite cheesy. [/quote] good point.
[quote]You need to go to EFFECTS and change the settings there. You're running on default settings which are set to medium. [/quote] are you referring to me? here's my effects menu: [link="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/sociopath1/EFFECTS.jpg?t=1202361742"]WWW Link[/link]
Here's a couple screens of my ships with the settings and specs i just posted. The ships look great, but if there's a way to make them look better, by all means, let me know.

[quote] I don't think this is related to the OPs problem, but around the edges of ships and asteroids I often see little white (1 pixel sized?) dots. Its slightly distracting, is there an a graphic option that could be causing this? whatever it is , its not normal... post a picture and your specs. [/quote] here is 4 different instances of little white pixels that glimmer all over asteroids and other objects as they rotate and move around
Hey, after this snow storm, should I waste my time searching for a strategy guide for this game tomorrow? Is there one?
[quote]I think that the idea is that you create the story from there yourself in a way. I lie the sandbox idea much better than a script, personally. [/quote] agreed. the background story simply sets the stage and tells the history of this particular galaxy's past power struggles, the game itself allows you to carry out the rest of the story any which way you want, with unlimited possibilities and outcomes. can you say....RUN ON SENTENCE? lol
The factions ignore me, and thier "opinion" of me doesnt move one bit. Guess i should stop giving them money and decimate thier punk *sses, huh? is this because of the game mode i'm in? it's a 5 star system with 4 factions.
[quote] What was wrong (so I can be sure to note it for future reviews)? 1) They complain that the game is too slow with ship speeds. If you setup your game with a Fast setting, ship speeds are greatly increased so long as they're not in combat. 2) They complained that Long Range Jump doesn't improve phase jump speed. It's not supposed to. All it allows you to do is jump between stars on multi-star maps. 3
[quote]Raze his homeworld while he's running away. Oh, and I think the Ion Cannon on the TEC support cruiser can disable someone from phase jumping. [/quote] YEA! Screw the capital ship! Let him run!
stronger reflection off the oceans on planets.
i got no idea what resolutions this thing supports.
[quote]what does your monitor support? and have u tried what i suggested above? [/quote] i looked everywhere, but i have vista/
I also have an issue. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/sociopath1/sinsvideo.jpg?t=1202320146 these are the only options i get with my 32 inch widescreen HDTV with a DVI cable. any way to get higher resolutions?
