[quote]Don't get me wrong here, I definately have the urge to buy the game, but it's not what the screenshots and reviews led me to believe it would be. As for tactics in battles, forget them, a dreadnought and five heavy cruisers let me take out an entire pirate base. Yeah I lost the heavy cruisers but it just shows you don't need tactics. So why all the different ships? It just all comes down to who has the most firepower anyway.As for this, perhaps there are some tactics but I simply cann

Yep, he's a troll. Why? Because I say so. Case closed. :LOL: Now lets get back to playing sins.

One posible alternative would be to nerf capital ships planetary damage. so as to force the player to bring along siege frigs after the capital have cleared the space around the planet. But that would suck. I've played games where the AI would throw 56 siege frigs on my planet with no fleet on it. And that planet would almost be alpha-striked. But two things, first, with the TEC planet shield with its two upgrades researched, the planet would actually last long enough for my fleet to ma

Wow, a religion thread. Amazing nobody have been hanged, many flames though. Good post tropical, I love engineers. Science, religion, MAGIC. That pretty much what I see here, many people speaking of magic, using different names. I am a self called liberal catholic christian. There are only two forces in this universe, Humanity and Nature. Nature is the earth, the universe, all the forces we do/dont understand and that we can not change but that we can use. Humanity is us, men and women,

[quote]Man, that's pretty unreasonable. 'Game has no subtitles, I demand my money back'? Did it *say* it had subtitles? And you posted BEFORE YOU EVEN PLAYED? Needs more sour grapes and sense of entitlement, I think. Game doesn't have a colourblind mode EITHER, so my mate always attacks the wrong guy when I say 'kill the blue dude'. He should get his money back too![/quote] Unreasonable it may be, but some people will sue you over making such remarks, stupid as it is. I do feel sorry fo

Disiformation in the game is the most serious problem, as there are many gamers who brought this game, barely read the manual, don't read the forums and thus prolly don't really know about the fundamental mechanics of the game. They might think a flak frig is more powerful than a LRM simply because of its "average damage". Still to this day I wonder why the devs never really made public the different damage and armor types (anti-light, medium, etc). I myself became aware of it reading t

[quote]however, knowingly using it expressly for the purpose of winning is a very dishonorable and not very "Sportsmanship" like. [/quote] In the vast and complex e-world known as "The Internet", the words honor, sportsmanship, valor, honesty, decency, mercy does not exist. The sooner our world can grasp this reality, the sooner we can start having fun playing online, rather than keep arguing on online forums.

[quote]I still don't understand why the devs take their time to respond to the most idiotic posts like this and never say a word in threads that have legitimate discussion occurring. They jump right on stupid complaint threads that would be better off left to die, and their right there to praise people that make threads like, "YEAH STARDOCK RULEZZZ!!", but they are invisible in many of the posts that have legitimate problems (Oh no, intelligent criticism!) which need to be addressed. It's quite

[quote] I am totally baffled by the argument that by making suggestions to improve the game, competitive players are ruining it. That makes no sense. If you ask me, the real culprits are the casual gamers who whine when they cannot defeat simple and badstrategies.[/quote] That is not the argument (at least not mine), the argument is that by making such remarks as "CASUAL gamers who whine when they cannot defeat simple and bad strategies", take note on the "casual" name, you are immediat

[quote]Starcraft = unitspam ?!?!?!?!!No offence at all but...have your watched or played any high level starcraft games? WCG, Blizzar invitation?It's mostly about micro and strategy, It's a game of SKILLS! unless you're talking about the noob "fastest maps" ...koreans look down on ppl who play those.As an asian, I'm really offended that u diss up starcraft like that....a game that lasted for almost 10 years and became the soul of RTS in asia...Yeah...go watch some starcraft highlights on youtube

[quote]Yeah need more balancing work. They should talk to the higher level players about it, not reactor to newbie whine threads. [/quote] [quote]Incorrect. Considering everyone's opinion equally rests on the false assumption that everyone is equally informed and competent. Precisely how do you expect listening to people who have no idea what they are talking about will lead to a better game? Now of course, the million dollar question is, does Stardock actually want a better game? If th

[quote] One of the big issues is the tension between micro-managing units and macro-managing your economy. We've made some changes to the UI to allow you to do multiple building selection, and to basically select an unlimited number of units. A lot of the very hardcore players are concerned about multiple-building selection because they think it reduces skill. Now I can go back and double-click on my barracks, select all five of my barracks, and build a marine. Before you'd have to click mar
