It's a purple plasma storm, not the bluish magnetic cloud. I placed the starbase next to the mine to keep those pesky enemies from stealing it from me. The problem is it keeps getting hammered by fighters/bombers and no ability to defend itself. You would think a starbase would have flack cannons to protect itself from strike craft!

Could make it an option at the start of the game to choose your flagship from a list of capital ships. That way it spawns into the game at start and you can then pick the ship you want.

My capital ship pursued the carrier crafts while its fighters engaged the bombers and fighters so moving into the plasma storm had no effect on the launched fighters if they were launched outside the gravity well.

Most Nvidia users are or most mobile Nvidia users? (running a desktop and have had no issues with graphics yet)

Have the same issue in 2b .80 :P

I've noticed if you place a starbase in a sector with a plasma storm, build fighter bays, the fighters remain in the bays and never launch. if you click on the recall fighter button the message 'launch prohibited' is displayed. While this is going on, the starbase is being hammered by fighters launched from carriers and support carriers. Playing as TEC Loyalist. Advent fighters attack starbase. Haven't had any TEC come in and attack the sta

Aww, had a really nice game going... Oh well! Time to start over and kick some Advent tail! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Palp79" reply="58" id="3130738"]The problem with Novaliths right now is that for the TEC loyalist they have been lifted out of their former place in the tech tree. They are tech 6 military with no prerequisites so they can rush to them, while the tech rebels need to research 7 things in missile tech before reaching it and the Advent is similar. I say put the loyalists Novalith research back somewhere in missiles so it cant be rushed too like now, then add a superweapons&

My monitor is a widescreen with 16:9 Ratio. I know there are quite a few out there with the same ratio monitor for widescreen. I can run with 1280x768 (16:10) and currently am doing as such but then the graphics get slightly squished and yes it is noticable. Will it be possible to add this resolution to the optional selections? (my monitors MAX is 1280x768 unfortunately)

That helped SteelFin plus this email reply from Stardock Sales: [quote] The game can only be purchased from our Store page but when the game releases it will be added to your Steam account and you'll be able to play it on there. The pre-orders go directly through our Store page but the game will require Steamworks to be able to play it. ---

Ok, here is the question: Beta is being released. On both Gamestop(Impulse) and Steam? Steam only? Gamestop(impulse) only? If Steam only? What about those that Purchased the preorder through Gamestop? What about those of us that purchased the pre-order through StarDock directly back in March of 2011 when Impulse WAS Stardock? Who are we going to go through to get our game?

Just thought of this... I preordered back on March 12, 2011! Stardock=Impulse back then... Impulse now = Gamestop and Stardock is separate. How is this going to work being that Gamestop/Impulse has no record but Stardock does?!? O.o

That is just encreadable! Fancier? That is impressive already! Wait... does that mean those of us with the preorder will get to beta this?! :O *jumps up and down excited*

I pre-ordered through stardock back when the pre-order first was available. I now I see it is available on Impulse for Pre-Order at $39,99 and of course, Stardock doesn't own Impulse anymore. The question is, being that it was pre-ordered through Stardock how is this going to work? Will a coupon code

Thank you Stant123 and Myfist0 for the links. :) I've been wondering how to 'tweak' things to play more the way I've thought ships would behave in battle. Like carriers hanging on the outskirts of a battle giving support, torpedo and missile ships staying JUST within missile/torpedo range and withdrawing if attacked. Little things like that. What

Any text editing program you feel comfortable using... That is, after you've converted the files to text format...[/quote] Thanks for editing the files, I'll give them a try. Also, what do I use to convert them to text

[quote who="SaintMina" reply="5757" id="2977678"] Quoting Stant123, reply 5756If I were to place a bet on how many people like dynamic movement versus those who don't, I'd probably lose, but I do know that I, as well as the majority, don't like it... But it is included as a minimod add on for those who do like it because there is a large enough group that does like having it. It's not up to date though. To do this is somewhat easy as well. All you have to do is grab a cop

One thing I DID notice is the "String not found" name for the Tachyon disruption tech (TEC Defense tree) It seems to works fine other than the name is 'string not found'

I actually think the pirates for once were balanced. A force to reckon with and as long as you keep them away until you get a starbase and some mines sat up you can handle them. Once they hit the minefield (even their strongest force), it tares them up enough for a starbase and 2 cannons (TEC) to tare them appart. As for taking out their base, simply wait until either a raiding party leaves or lure out the raiding party (death to the system you used to lure them o

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="55" id="2967131"]We won't be having a beta for v1.3 and we're not doing anything with trade ships at this time.[/quote] at this time... :) Hope for future updates! The thing I like about Stardock is even after a game is OLD by most people's standards and they even have the next release coming... they STILL support and add to the old game. There are SO few companies that do that anymore in the gaming world. Stardock, Egosoft,

[quote who="Ryat" reply="6" id="2940863"] Make that an optional thing. Some of us like the deep, long games that are scaled big. I'm not a big fan of MP and enjoy a long, big scale game that takes a while. But I also understand that others like the MP and agree that going large scale can be annoying. So an optional setting would be nice.[/quote] Great minds think alike, Ryat. I personally like long and big scaled games that take me days to complete. Somet

Just a thought that would also impact the game and make things more interesting, fighter pilot school. You have schools to train the crew of a ship for the ship's experience, but why not have a tech to train fighter pilots to hit more accurately and be more evasive? I understand that you can't really give experience to the fighters because they are so short lived, however if the pilots had to go through a school before becoming pilots (hence the tech) then ever pilot getting into a fi

I don't play the online part of this but I'm looking at it like this... How many companies still go out of their way to support a product THIS old? They are still trying to support it and still keeping in contact with their customer base and listening to suggestions and complaints. Patience is what they need from our end. [e digicons]:hrmph:[/e] Granted I do admit that sometimes when the bugs are a real annoyance it is hard to remain waiting calmly...
