Thats odd burnout, I am running an Intel Pentium 4 3.33, OC'd to 4.1, 2 gigs of old school coursair ddr1, and a 8800 gtx OC'd to 700/950. And I dont experience slowdown in even 9 ai games late in game. I think the game engine doesnt properly utulize the second core thusly why in alot of games my single processor system still outperforms alot of newer systems. Mines obviously pushed near the max it can be for the hardware but still its 4 years old or so.

I liked your picture of the exploding rapture quite a bit, so I went ahead and made some improvements to it as a desktop image. Nothing to fancy but it fits typical XP, and vista desktop icon placements better now. <a href="http://img604

(if someone said it already sorry I didnt read the replies.) 1> upgrade planet 2> buy 100 crystal 3> start cap factory 4> queue up whatever cap I want (for single player usually a colonizer) 5> queue up crystal 6> queue up the metals 7> start 2 scouts (well start one wait on cash for 2nd) 8>Send scouts out to two sites I choose, and let auto explore from there. 9> queue up 3 light frigates 10>Take your

[quote]the_Monk,please shut the **** up.You clearly have NO KNOWLEDGE of what the **** is making the desync problem. I've lurked around here and seen you give your sh!tty "advice" and all of them are ridiculous. Do you really believe your "fixes" work? Why would stardock pay a fleet of programmers to debug if you could fix all their issues?First it was CPU speed that was the cause, now this?You clearly have no idea what's causing the problem and your ignorance is disgusting.

A more robust diplomacy system that didn't feel tacked on and lopsided would be great. (I.E. Being able to make the same demands of AI that they make upon us.) You know more in line with the diplomacy options in say Civ 4. Nothing over the top like demanding planets and stuff, but still something with at least some interactivity.

Yes its been stated, the only things that will change pretty much will only be small things like armor and shield points for the most part. Rest is set in stone, its only a beta mainly to find bugs. Though I guess if we complain about the carriers enough they might lower the armor and shields but dont get your hopes up. Screw it I should just link it for you but heres the changes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gameplay / Balance

[quote]Before talking about additional changes, there's one change in the beta that directly impacts this: Augmented Defence Grid. (Advent, +5 tac slots per upgrade, 2 upgrades.).Why is this not enough to make defences viable?[/quote] I like it in beta in those bigger 9 ai games. More Hangers on my planets that are near the shifting battle lines.

Don't get me wrong but if the 4x don't even do it then what hope does the brand new RT4X genre have of doing it? Or rather not what hope, but what are the odds? I would rather see t

wow...this thread makes me sad....so many players don't bother to read their manuals in games anymore. Pro Tip: Take your manual with you to the Bathroom, it makes excellent potty time reading. Little excerpt for you: FLEET LOGISTICS There‘s a limit to how many ships an empire can field at the same time, which is represented by your fleet supply. Each faction begins with 100 fleet supply points, which is the base amount any race can manage without additional research. E

well I could have taken the time to point out that phase missiles negate any positives from the shield. If the graphic is too much he can always choose to lower some settings, should make their bubble not as obtrusive if you play with the settings some. The shield protection ability itself isn't all that great really anyways. I can destroy guardians all day long as any of the three races it just requires a little thinking ahead, or strategic thinking if you will. phase missiles, bombers

One other thing (jsut got home gonna load up game in a minute) is it only when your TEC? or all races? I am advent in my save game I am about to go finish up. So it might be tomorrow or later tonight before I get in a TEC game. Depending on how long it takes me bring the other two races into the Unity, one way or another.

Dear developers, I know forums can be a volatile place for you sometimes. And there is always criticism of your work no matter what you change. Somebody will always complain. But despite that I thought just for the sake of random positivity. (Not a trait I am known for by the way, never the less...) So where was I? Oh yes for the sake of Random Positivity, this is just a Thank You thread for all the hard work you have put in on the patches and game so far. So here goes. TH
