Ravagus

And I said it could be fun. :)

Well the whole point with a Aggressor AI is that they seek battle and attack every chance they get to expand. If it's cautious that will largely negative its fast expansion.

I'm not all that sure, heuristics are generally faster than just evaluating a bunch of possible moves.

When I play singleplayer it only hangs for a second or two but on Lan it can take minutes before it move on. I've added it to one of its peculiarities. All games seem to have some of them.

I'm getting really tired of playing TEC. Always thought they are kinda boring and now that I'm stuck with them I play less and less. [e digicons]:([/e] So bring on a patch with a new race! [e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="gara0212" reply="13" id="3112196"]I wish that once you blew up the planet the mines are on, the mines would become visible to all units. They do get disabled when the planet is lost, so why not make them visible too. Would make more sense that way than having to clear the grav well completely.[/quote] Yes!

I have been playing computer games for many years and I truly miss when it was standard to get a big box with lots of stuff like for example a manual the size of a phone book. A collectors edition would be a instant buy from me.

Add some options you can choose when you start a new game. 1: Make Titans use more Fleet Upkeep. A little more -> Average extra cost -> Much more -> Only for insanely rich. 2: Limit superweapons per player. 1 -> 5 -> 25 -> 100.

I would love if you had scenarios with multiple missions. Do a mission and progress in the scenario and as a reward for certain missions you get unique ships or something. Add a little roleplaying elements to Sins. :)

Kill a pirate base and drop the pirate attack strength down a notch? Kill all their bases and they are eliminated? Just some thoughts.

I have noticed the same trend as Cheesenium and it makes for a rather boring gameplay. The way I usually play is expand until I reach an enemy, consolidate (Defences and economy buildings.), tech up to about halfway in the techtrees, build a massive fleet and then roll. Since I don't bother with the expensive late game techs the enemy usually only have planetary defences and almost no fleet to counter me until I get close to their homeworld. By that time my second fleet/wave have

I haven't thought about the special attack effects much but their ordinary attacks looks ridiculous. Now and then I look at them for a while chuckling and thinking to myself " Did the captain have a birthday again with all the fireworks and are they celebrating it in the middle of a battle? ". Honestly. It looks like they're having a wild new years eve party with lots of fireworks.

Hear hear.

Sounds like what could happen if you have a badly calibrated gamepad, joystick or other similar device.

[quote who="Damien368" reply="13" id="3105133"]got a point there, i'd still like retail so you can actually hold the case and CD. i'm not all too positive over having your serials stored in a file somewhere on the internet. it makes you dependant[/quote] I agree. Getting a box with a gigantic manual is awesome and something I gladly pay extra for. Steam, Impulse, GamersGate and others like that should be sued to hell and forced to play by

Wait for a patch?

Some games I've bought online have the option for you to pay extra to get a copy shipped to you. It's usually only a cheap burned disc with a install executable or something simple like that. I've rather fond of that solution myself and it wouldn't be expensive at all for Stardock.

Maybe a slider like in Master of Orion taxes? You can use the slider to set the percentage of your income to put into a pool that all allied players can use.

[quote who="Damien368" reply="11" id="3104909"]retail buys are usually impulse buys, same way i bought soase trinity. i bought it while i was looking for another game lol i'd rather have a pewter marza though[/quote] That used to be the case for me but now it's cheap downloadable games. For instance I look for a game on Impulse or Steam and then usually have a peek at the budget titles. I see a game I recognise and since it's dir

That's a motherload of experience!

Unfortunately it seems Rebellion will be download only.

Steam shouldn't need a internet connection to start a game once installed and activated. If you're worried about steam occasionally updating and downloading stuff you can turn off a games auto updating and have steam in offline mode. Though a lot of people say that this doesn't work and have to block steam with a firewall. Edit: Ninjad again!

Well the Local File size in steam is 2145 MB. Don't know how much it needs to download though.

A print it yourself cut out Kol?
