I dont understand... If the titan is your homeworld... why would you attack people with it? The last place you want a fight is on your homeworld.

[/quote] What you were getting at is that people are good at finding patterns. Even if they aren't there, people see them. This is done to such an extent that new ideas are always seen as a rehash of the old. When in reality, even a slight change should be viewed as 'new'. It's sel

[/quote] Sounds great when you first read it, but this idea is plagued with complications. How do you accomplish this goal? well, you could make corvettes have heavy armor (LF's target of choice). However, now flak do not counter corvettes and they don't counter themselves. This might not seem too big of a deal, but corvettes

there have been numerous threads about this. The issue has to do with graphics settings. It's not that your system can't handle the graphics, but that sins can't. Running in windowed mode usually eliminates this problem. However, it's not 100%... My game just ended on account of this.

Since you just bought a car, you don't really need another. This has the limitation

[quote who="Matu_Flp_Krawfe" reply="16" id="3156844"](here's a good rule of thumb for them to adopt: titan's should not excede the overall power of a Starbase at an equivalent "level".)

I'll check it out, but consider using corvettes with your

if you are experiencing the random crash to desktop with no dump files, the thing to do is run the game in windowed mode. It somehow makes it work.

what if the deliverence engine just set the culture in the well instead of trying to spread it? This way, it wouldn't be fighting any culture already there. then I'd throw an tack an allegiance drain for good measure. Balance can be tweaked by the the duration of the effects, the amount of culture and the amount of allegiance lost.

i don't understand... your reasoning seems to indicate that the ability is too powerful. most people I have encountered feel it is worthless. As a result, more points are spent on chastic burst and strength of the fallen. If you want to argue that those abilities are too powerful, well that's another discussion. Unyielding will is the issue at hand and it being something seen maybe once per game and something you can run from doesn't seem too useful.

[quote who="sareth01" reply="13" id="3156065"]Any reasons why you wouldn't do it any of the ways I describe? [/quote] Because I feel that early game the advent should have money problems. They have good ships, they aren't the same ships as the other races, but the challenge is in getting enough of them out. Besides, it seems like it wouldn't work the way you intend; look at the rebel's reduced temple of communion cost tech. By the time

That's right.... the Vasari are running from ME . I caused an entire race to flee in fear. Now.... What's up? You trying to insult me?! Seriously?! [e digicons]:borg:[/e]

Actually, I'd vote for "Endless" maps. Scouts get a new ability "Deep Space Exploration", they go away for 5 minutes or so, and discover a new solar system that wasn't on the map before. Could even have new AI players on it. Would let you play to your heart's content. Just disable the scouting ability when you reach the maximum number of planets
