I don't think I've been playing even nearly long enough to really comment on what the races are good/bad at (Have only used TEC so far). But. Someone above said that the Vassari can only make one defence fleet whilst the other races might need 3 or 4 in larger games to cover multiple fronts and this is an advantage to the Vassari. It seems to me just from reading that there comes bundled with this possibility a hidden dissadvantage if a Vassari player chooses to play this way,

Saying it was DX8 standard was a little harsh I admit though it was only a hyperbole. I suppose all I am trying to say is that considering all the hype around how beautiful the game looked, especially in the gamespot videos when they constantly said they were running on low res in order to record at the same time I was just somewhat dissapointed to find out that the gfx were just standard, regardless of scale. To the person who said it was the same as SupCom, that is a bit sill

[quote]to the topic starter : You say yu're running it with 4xaa yet your screenshot clearly shows AA is disabled ... my guess is that you either forgot to save the highest settings ( or reload the game ) or have AA & AF and maybe other effects diabled in your graphics card drivers.

[quote]Yeah I think it is better than Homeworld 2. Also, I can have shadows without WTF-owning my machine. Homeworld 2 had the crappiest shadowing code i've ever played on (actually, I didn't play on it because I had to turn off all shadows to get it to run on my high-end machine!). The star backgrounds are also higher-res than that screenshot. I think the issue is you are zooming in on one ship and expecting it to look way better than a game that focused on smaller fleet sizes. <br

Of course I'm not running DX8, unless the game sets you to DX8 by default? Like I say I have settings on max on everything I can see with bloom enabled, 4x antialiasing (why not 16x btw?) and everything on highest. My resolution is 1650x1080. Is there a toggle anywhere in the UI which changes the DX setting? I can quickly start a game up and take a screen if you like, or just take a screenshot of the capital in the first tutorial. At the moment I have things

Hey all, I've just purchased the game after finding out about it a couple of days ago. Only played it for an hour or two so far and look forwards to more playtime to get to grips before maybe hitting the multiplayer side of things. The gameplay is ok though I wouldn't exactly call it a 4X game in the same way that, for example, X3: Reunion demonstrates the meaning of the term. Still it plays quite nicely. I just have a question however. Am I missing anything on the
