Did you... actually zoom out far enough to watch your whole empire? The occupation victory option adds a whole new star with just that one planet connected to it at one corner of the map, just outside of your inital stars range.
[quote who="MayallCommunion" reply="1" id="3142923"]To be honest sometimes your imagination is best for the game, if this game was realistic the Progenitor would move faster than the strike craft;P[/quote]And be torn apart the second it takes a turn. My guess is that the thing limiting the speed of capships is their own size and structural integity and not engine power. Some sort of little moon base, or entrances to asteroid caverns would be a nice indicator to have when looking at mo
Or, if you are running firefox, install adblock plus and noscript. By doing that you can kill most popups and advertisements and make sure pages like sendspace don't just redirect you to the next adult page.
I just took Valve time as an example since it's a pretty well known term. But the basis appies to any company that is into programming, really. If you are interested in the matter, the principle behind it is "Hofstadter's law ". The wiki entry on it is kinda short, but there are other sources that give a more in-depth look on it.
You might want to google "valve time" before fortifying your position on that. Release dates are either estimates or goals that the gaming studios set themselves. Both can be missed quite easily by some portion of code going out of wonk or other wierd shit going on. Other than that: Release date lol. I've been playing the game for weeks now. Do you think I care for the exact date of when they remove the beta sticker from the program and call it finished? :V
If the well is otherwise clear of enemies using your titan or a few caps seems to work better. Move them around a bit, collect mines, repair and restore shields, rinse and repeat. It doesn't cost you money and is more reliable than spending dozens of fleet points for units you'll blow up fifteen seconds later anyways.
If you want the C&C attempt you should make it controlled and give each race only one superweapon at once, and actually make it super. If you want to go down the supreme commander lane of "build as many as you can and hope the enemy cannot bring up his counters fast enough" they should be unlimited. In both cases a simple toggle button to deactivate should be enough. Those in betweens of "lets make them weak individually and limit their number" usually just make th
It's a situational research. Lategame you can use it to turn enemy insurgents into interim defenses, or to cut through a pirate base, given they haven't been raided yet. Earlygame it's actually not very useful unless you realize that you're hidden away between allies or behind one or two easily defendable chokepoints...
My idea of protecting a fleet against wail using an Akkan was more of: Your fleet is 2 jumps away from the planet that could wail you, you jump in your Akkan first, the fleet shortly after. Before the fleet gets in you activate armistice and then send your fleet through the well either to attack the enemy planet or to reposition them elsewhere.
Go to your steam community page (where you see your picture and the comments from other users), take the link and post it here. People will have a much easier time finding you. If I type in mc intire in steam I find tons of other people that are spelled similarly but not myself. The url should look something like that: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ (I don't know where that pa
He quoted the right post, but the quote content was somehow taken from another post. Annoying forum bug that I had before, too. This forum is weird anyways. Quotes are kinda buggy, sometimes I doblepost, sometimes my new post just disappears. And then there are times when I got a complete freezeup by posting here, weird artifacts on screen and all.
Newbies are not Noobs. While the english wikipedia does admit it orginates from the same word it also makes this distinction and also references to an article about online slang in gaming (not gonna link it, look it up if you're interested).
[quote who="Greg30007" reply="39" id="3141416"] Quoting Qu4r, reply 30Ye like red button has a warning or something it has warning. Its effect. If you watch sb u see rb activation effect which gives u time for armstice.[/quote]You have to be pretty fast on your feet erm... fingers to do that, though. Maybe a two to three seoncd warning would be nice, seeing how even then you are screwed if you don't have an high level Akkan at hand right there
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="3" id="3141347"]Ummm... If you only play against AI, then by definition, you're essentially a noob. I don't mean to be an ass, I'm just trying to clarify. Maybe a small percentage of the AI-only players would have average skill level for PvP, and that's a big maybe.[/quote]Weren't you the one that got his ass kicked by Wail of the sacrificed and then ragequit like a bratty teen?[/sarcasm] The definition of a noob
You can tell steam not to update your games automatically (library -> right-click on rebellion -> properties -> updates -> do not keep this game up to date), protecting your safegames if you want to finish the games. As for the offline problem of yours... I don't have that. If I don't have an internet connection on my notebook I can just start offline mode without trouble. Did you register your computer with steamguard (settings -> account -> m
Against corvettes mines seem to work suprisingly well. The way they move drives thm into tight minefields if your fleet is positioned within that field. Also tight formations of Tactical structures and Capship AOE abilites.Leave safe paths in minefields to lure enemy corvettes in front of your guns. Against bombers I'd suggest support carriers and fightersquads. It also works against corvettes to an extent, but they are so nimble they sometimes have trouble attacking corvettes. Ke
If it was a last resort weapon it would damage a fleet at the gravitywell it was used in. Not only that, there would be no reason to also damage the structures in that well. Sanchez was in quite a bad situation already. His empire pretty much was a line of pearls on a cord. If there was one situation where Wail was to be used effectively it was then an there. Had he managed to keep and hold that Ice planet some fourty minutes earlier it wouldn't have come to this situation, and ev
How is that abuse? He secured an Ice planet right next to the enemy homeworld and said enemy gave him tons of time to build up population. People are not used yet to the fact this kind of slacking will end up in your fleet getting busted, so it should be fine. (Also note the Ice planet was not yet at full population, if I recall correctly it was "only" at 100 pop) From my understanding breaking up stalemates or enabling you to do a comeback is exactly what the ability should be doing.
Even if some of them are repeats, we should make a complete list here. Makes it easier to keep an eye on it. If you can find that other topic, link it here or make a copy of the post.

You mean now that they have started using mines on neutral wells, too? I hope the next step is getting them to placing SBs there.
I don't have any regular or recurring issues with Steam... There was that downtime few days back, but that was like the first time in a year or so. As for being intrusive... how? You can deactivate that pesky overlay and make Steam ignore chat messages (if you have set up a steam user profile and added friends) or notifications while you are ingame. In which case Steam isn't at all noticable while playing. (settings -> friends -> disable sign into friends
It would be nice if you could see any culture buffs your ships experience on the infocard. Friend of mine asked me "Do I get your boni in your culture, my own or none at all?". I'd like to be able to answer, but have no idea. If the game just told us this would be very helpful. I find the infocards lacking in some ways anyway. I've met quite a few situations where I couldn't see all the positive or negative influences on my planets or units. Maybe it's time ot make a c
Interesting. Did you temporarly lose some of the labs while researching/building the Titan? Or scuttle one of them to build it on another planet? Maybe the bug is related to that.
It is supposed to increase hull, shields, armor and damage by 25% (diplomacy rates, could have changed a bit in rebellion) for every level... If they do not it is a bug. Maybe you should test that again and make sure there are no reseaarches running in the background.
