I also agree it is far better to read 1h 19m 47s then to do some major arithmetic in my head figuring out what over four thousand seconds is. I have another suggestion to add myself. Let us pick the avatars for each faction not a set of 3 pictures. All of the sets have pictures I like combined with a picture I dont like.
Awesome. The beta 2 looks to be a rather large improvement. I like how the envoys are supposed to function. Plus nobody can say first :)
[quote who="zigzag" reply="448" id="2469033"] It's a matter of perspective. Compared to Mussolini, Bush was a hippie. I could see how someone in a parliamentary system, where parties run the gamut, might think that Obama was centrist or center-right.[/quote] I agree he is a centrist and possibly to the right of center slightly but right wing is not accurate. Which brings up another point. The left right political spectrum doesnt have much relevance as far as im concerned. It does not acc
I cant imagine how Obama could be right wing. That doesnt make even the slightest sense. Which reminds me that the United States government is definitely not going to remain a superpower if the populace is ignorant and cares more for a stupid show (American Idol) than the political process. Democracy relies on an educated populace who makes intelligent or at least well thought out decisions. The United States started declining when people started voting for the prettiest face
Conspiracy theory this is not. I personally have the files from "climategate" and they are in fact quite incriminating. Far too detailed to be fake either. Especially considering the events surrounding climategate. I will say that regardless of global warming pollution and other detrimental emissions should be reduced. I just consider the global warming scare to be nothing but fear mongering and "green" politics gone horribly wrong. We don't need a silly and dubious apocalyptic claim to have
How can anyone think America will always be a superpower and not be delusional? Unless someone has figured out to make the perfect government and cured all diseases and solved world hunger and created permanent world peace then no of course America will not always be a superpower. I am always dismayed to see people acting like America will be around for a billion years or something. No nation has ever lasted for all of human history and those that were very long lived eventually colla
Personally I think it would be silly to do a balance update then roll out the next mini-expansion. First of all the expansion will assuredly change the dynamics of the game just like the previous expansion did. Then your balance changes becomes worthless as now you have new dynamics in each faction and therefore new issues arise concerning the new stuff along wioth the possibility of issues arising from the older stuff that now works differently or has become more/less useful and/or relevant.
[quote who="Obscenitor" reply="20" id="2268231"] Seriously, if you have kids and one of them gets caught stealing a $1.50 candy bar should you have to pay 120,000 dollars? At least it sounds like the RIAA may have the decency to not try to collect on such an outrageous claim. They'll probably just let the court decision itself stand as a waring and seek a (relatively) miniscule sum if any at all. Still though, that jury clearly screwed up.[/quote] Thats it exa
I dont think people mind that you guys are busy just that it seemed like a ghost town (ghost site? [e digicons]:P[/e] ). Now that I started working with scripting and whatnot (XML and SQL primarily) I certainly understand you guys are working your butts off. The thing people were concerned about was that no news or anything at all was happening. We would all be content just with a news post that just said "busy working on other issues. hang tight". Everybody here understands the issu
Like InfiniteVoid said I cant even imagine how 30k supply for each player will even work. No Machine I even know of could run that without being a server mainframe. What the heck are you even running this on?
[quote who="Zoythrus" reply="7" id="2204190"]The devs wouldnt have put them in the game if there wasnt a reason to have them. Let us try to find something good about them...[/quote] True, but I dont why this means that they didnt do the ship correctly nor why the fact that simply because the devs put it in the game means it was a good idea. The ship idea and abilities are good and serve a purpose but the ship is piloted by retards apparently. The AI is simply terrible and more often the
[quote who="Shadowhal" reply="6" id="2181267"]I think the campaign is only half the story. sure, I like good story, it gives games meaning and setting and you get more immersed. seriously, homeworld would not be the same game without its brilliant story line. and I dare say not even starcraft, fs or a bunch of other games. [/quote] I agree whole heartedly. Starcraft, Diablo, Homeworld, Knights of the Old Republic among other games that have reached cult status and massive popularity woul
[quote who="alway" reply="10" id="2099809"] The third sentence is a false claim. The entire thinking behind the internet is the decentralization of knowledge. If you think having knowledge stored in only museums and books (most of which are only found in museums or great libraries) is more decentralized than having that same knowledge distributed across various web servers all around the world in tens if not hundreds of countries and available to anyone with access to a computer, I
I think we fell into the second dark ages once we started using CE and BCE instead of AD and BC. [e digicons]:P[/e] Our Dark Ages have only just begun people think the middle ages were bad wait until PC police become a government agency. Technology, especially networking, makes centralization of power easier not harder. I think society and technology will radically change in the future so science fiction beyond the next 30 or so years is completely speculative.

Exactly if you want games with fluffy cloud heaven and cute kitties with rainbows I suggest you find something else. In war people die in miserable surroundings. Even in peace much suffering exists in the world. Just take first person shooters if you shot somebody like they do in the games there would be lots of blood and gore and pain or people crying and dying painfully. People dont flop around in silly manners with ragdoll physics. War is hell you cant sanitize it without burying y
Pssh, I want more death and misery. It should be like Black and White 2 i want to hear women weeping and men crying in fear as they are bombed to oblivion.

BOOM" Transmission cut out commander [e digicons]}:)[/e]
I like the fact that i could actually see it become reality. I am never going to be a wizard or fight dragons but i could become cybernetic or a starship captain.
What i would like to see is more divergence in the three factions. New ships should be different for each faction with no analogues. For example rather then everyone having a long range frigate with different stats and abilities how about a new type of ship that no other faction has at all. I definitely like the new diplomacy options the game needs its especially for the genre it strives to be in. I think what i want most though is more options and more depth for p

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="3" id="2084694"] I'd like to see more diplomacy options. Which is pretty much the premise for the entire expansion. The first was defenses, the second is non-combat/diplomacy.

I would like to see the official line on what to expect for the next ex pack.
Of all the problems with vista that supposedly exist i have yet to run into much at all. Most seem to be user errors or because their just used to XP and think it works exactly the same. First you need to be specific as to what is happening people who are good with computers dont read minds or work magic saying "it doesnt work" doesnt help at all.We dont all have extensive programming or computer engineering knowledge (well at least i dont at this point in time give me a couple years
Lets see how the buff for Anti-SC goes from the beta 3 in entrenchment. Hopefully it will address these issues. I notice that carriers have a SC build penalty when enemy ships are around.

If you get tons of Kodiaks and rush their carriers and drone hosts you will knock out a big chunk of their SCs. Just watch out for the Advent battle ball. If that happens well i dont know i
[quote who="the_only_normal_1" reply="10" id="2063735"]OK. I have been brought around. I didn't think it was possible, and got really into defending against the notion of ground-based defences... but Dorian's pictures and House's arguments swayed me -- I admit (finally), those would be awesome... but they would need to be expensive, and 'little emplacements' still don't make sense. I think my arguments still hold for the notion of having planets house SC or guass turret-type defences...
