What do you mean fixed? You fixed the game or you just found a "quick fix"?

Alright it's almost wednesday, hopefully they will update this poor beta!

I had this after loading a save game, and I fixed it by building another starbase and upgrading it. This somehow caused all of the old starbases to magically start working. Maybe you could try this, and I agree this is definitely a bug.

I'd like to see a simple addition: an upgrade percentage. It bugs me to not know how much research I've done, as well as most games i forget to completely research something.

Medium to low settings. The game has been optimized quite a bit since the initial release, so make sure you get the newest patch asap.

1. Agree with parts, the range idea is stupid. Planetary defenses should be able to target mines, agreed. Mines should not be completely invincible, yet I think they should have a huge amount of armor while phased out. 2. Agreed 3. No, mines are too powerful as is. One will destroy a light frigate, and two will destroy a cruiser. 4. There is no number 4? 5. Agreed, but the ships should also have a mine limit.

[quote who="knownalien" reply="24" id="2028840"]Another thing about mines I was thinking about lastnight, the Z-axis. Can I go over or under them? Doesn't seem like you can in 2-D, but this is a 3-D game, though I seldom play that way.[/quote] Wow, I never thought of that. You, sir, are a genius!

I love mines, I don't know what people are talking about them phasing in an out, they only stay in real space with an Arcova, and then are really easy to destroy. Spamming them slows the game down, but that is easily fixable with a mine per gravity well cap.

I hate to say it, but the graphics are bad. Could you make some with the graphics on highest?

What are you talking about? Whatever ship you have selected during "create fleet" will be the flagship.

Yeah I just realized they were, and for some reason locked teams only didn't work for that game.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="3" id="2026653"] Both mines and starbases are due for tweaks, but they exist already There won't be anything completely new as such in the final release.[/quote] What do you mean they exist already?

I agree with the post above me, making mines blow up in everyone's face will just be annoying. Plus, mines are so annoying at the moment that having to worry about your own mines would be horrible.

I was wondering three things: 1. Will the beta last until the full game is released, or will it be like Halo 3's beta that lasted a week? 2. Will the beta be patched, or will everything that is changed only be changed for the final release? 3. Will there be anything (ships, planets, defenses) in the final game that is not in the beta?
