[quote who="Annatar11" reply="4" id="2039693"] Just downloaded Beta 2 off of Impulse. You be quiet with your happy face. Some of us are stuck at work. [/quote] Yes, I agree Anny, please do not tease us with how good it looks and plays, as some of us won't get to it till later tonight. (anxiously counting the minutes...330 minutes to go.

lol...so instead of the Darth and Samurye show, we can now have the Anny and Kitkun show!!! [e digicons]:omg:[/e]

Great...there goes my night. I will now be effectively useless at work tomorrow after I get little to no sleep tonight. ps - Now what am I gonna have to do to make tonight up to the wife as well. This might take a little butt kissing to make this one up. [e digicons]8(|[/e]

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="12" id="2039225"]Well we added two extra people so we can increase productivity by 606% [/quote] Very nice. Had me rolling over here. The new project is fine and nice...the new micro is fine and nice...hell, even micro-1 is fine and nice. I'm just glad you guys are still in business and that the whole thought and aspect of releasing games with no DRM has not back-fired (not that I thought it would). Cause now we "loyal" ga

[quote who="Alluceanot" reply="23" id="2038822"]I really think the Phase destabilization should require some research (with PJI as a prereq of course) that globally affects all starbases, rather than them automatically getting the ability. [/quote] I'm thinking that I agree on this...but let's see what it plays like with the new changes first before pass a final judgement on it.

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="22" id="2038804"] I don't really see the problem with the way it works now. If you choose to cluster mines densely in one spot, you choose to cluster mines densely in one spot. If you luck up and kill a capship, you luck up and kill a cap ship. If it doesn't work this way, I really don't see much of a use for mines except as a minor irritation, which means I won't even bother with them. However, I do like the new limit on m

YES, YES, YES.

[quote who="KristusVoso" reply="14" id="2038716"]stil no caps on mines, i really like big maps, around 20 stars with 10-20 planets around each but i played it the other day an had two hard fortifiers an they built a silly amounts of mines around every planet, realy think they should be limited to an overall amount that wont slow down larger maps an promote their use for chocke points rather than every planet u go too, but dunno if they could make the AI use them that way.

Actually, IC just posted that there is a TENTATIVE release date for Feb. 11. A strong emphasis on Tentactive.

[quote who="Barda278" reply="13" id="2038706"]I hope it comes out soon or there will not be much of a point of it comeing out at all if the full thing is comeing out Feb 11 [/quote] Blair already stated not to believe these dates that you are seeing elsewhere. IC will not do a full release until they have gotten feedback on the beta 2b update and have had time to do some balance work on that as well. It will still be some time before we see a full release.

good question and don't know if anyone rightly knows, but I would venture that as they were hitting the "dog days" of fixing the balance issues of Entrenchment, they were doing no other coding. But now that those frantic days of coding nightmares are over for another week or two (till they get the next batch of complaints and opinions of what should be done), they are probably filling their down time with thoughts and visions of micro-2 running through their heads. And who knows,

Wanted to bump this. We have 6 dedicated players now and 1 on the list who looks like a good fit. We still need 1 more player to give us a balanced 8 players for some matches that would be 2v2v2v2. We do FFA's as well. It is fun playing and a good, laid back group. We are starting a new game on this Friday (Jan. 30th...and probably a FFA) and might be using the newest update of Entrenchment (Beta 2b) if it's released by then. If anyone is inte

You'd be surprised just how complex. With that said, I play Vas to and sometimes utilize the same strat that you mentioned above. You can still have multiple smaller fleets of 15-20 ships like you mentioned. If you have each mapped to a different key lock (ie Fleet 1 to key 1, Fleet 2 to key 2, etc...) you can still create fleets with each specific group by using the manage fleet tactic. Each fleet created can then be set with varying modes (fleet cohesion (loose,&nbsp

By the way, my user name is TheSpydyr, anyone that wants to add me, feel free...Anny if your on and want to do a couple of battles, it would be fun.

Anyone know that reference...1 Giant Space Cookie for the 1st to call it. ah, good ole ATHF "SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY...."

oh yeah, the possibilities are endless if you only have 3 or 4 weapons up...there have been times when I have had 3 up at once...now I just may try and build more than that to really get the enemy rushing to get some ships back. If I send in a small Kamikaze fleet with each shot of say (1 cap, 3-4 carriers, and 5 or so Enforcers + a few smaller ships), I could really reap some major damage. Plus, add in the fact that when my fleet arives, so does a superweapon shot that effectiv

yeah, I play the Vas exclusively, and this just gives their superweapon a very decided edge as far as I am concerned...I will definitely be going up the military tech tree as quickly as possible now.

I wish they would've done something with the VAS superweapon allowing ships to jump into any planet, though...that effectively screws you out of the whole Entrenchment philosophy. Oh well, we can't get everything we want, right???

yes, it definitely could. I also like the fact that the SB's build slower in neutral wells and even slower in enemy controlled wells. I wish they would've done something with the VAS superweapon allowing ships to jump into any planet, though...that effectively screws you out of the whole Entrenchment philosophy. Oh well, maybe they will for the final release, although not likely now.

Just got done reading the change log...man, it's gonna be fun to get back into Entrenchment now.

wow sound like a lot of new changes. Can't wait to get my hands on them and do some hard-core testing on them. Good work guys.
