Please keep in mind that different companies do beta testing in different ways (I do not know if you did do beta testing before, but I am assuming that you did). Depending on the goals of the developers, they will test different things first. For example, a reason why we could only play as TEC at first (this is speculation) might be because the developers were more interested in finding bugs in the engine rather than solving balance issues. Also, when the beta went live, the Vasari were far f

[quote who="Tridus" reply="14" id="3136448"]That's out of date information. The Deliverance Engine now causes your culture to generate at a rate of 50 from the planet. A base broadcast center is 20, so it's pretty easy to negate entirely (three completely neuter it, two probably can if you have enough upgrades). They also don't stack. It's by far the weakest of the three Superweapons and really only useful as fleet support for the 25% damage bonus.[/quote] I hate to bu

[quote who="bilun" reply="29" id="3136494"]Here's the thing: most capitalships can deal 40-50 DPS with planetary bombing(that's before upgrades). Against a 6000 HP planet Provoke hysteria deals 60 DPS. Against planets with smaller HP it can actually deal less DPS then planetary bombing then unupgrade captialships bombing. Add in the bombing upgrades and Provoke hysteria often deals damage to planets more slowly then basic planetary bombardment by the Revelation. The revelation it'

[quote]Also the AI seems to just stay on it's planets and chill... I don't understand what happened since diplomacy? They AI on unfair always gave me a run for my money! Now it's like I'm strategizing against a brain dead monkey??? Can't the old AI just be reset?[/quote] The AI now has Corvettes, Titans, a new capital ship and new research. Introducing these things was bound to break them. All we can do is wait for the developers to fix them.

[quote who="Teun-A-Roonius" reply="9" id="3136407"]Though after two years I switched studies, so I rarely make games anymore (sometimes for fun, when I have a good concept which I can't get out of my head). I now study Communication and Multimedia Design, which is more of a blend between design and programming than Game Development. I never regretted switching studies. Nice of you to ask by the way. [/quote] You are welcome! I asked because I am a web developer. So I do know that

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="3" id="3136159"]Considering the limited quantities, I think we'll probably e-mail the existing pre-order customers first and it'll be first-come, first-served. I'll post more details once we tie things down more.[/quote] I guess that I will have to start looking at my email every five minutes and just carry around my credit card with me to ensure getting one. That is if it does not cost too much. Any idea how much the Collector's Edition will

It is reasonable to think that they want to rush updates in order to appease the community, so bugs are indeed bound to happen. Coding is not that complex - the logic used to make it is complex (please remember, this is my own personal opinion.) Debugging/testing can also be tricky. Generally, when you create a code, you do not simply test it yourself - you need others to test it for you, other people might think of new ways to try and use the code, or just use

What I think happened is that Stardock probably did not thoroughly test all possible uses for Repossession after "fixing" it.

[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="20" id="3133448"]Except that the music doesnt play at all most of the time. theres just a little bit here and there. I'd like to get it going non-stop.[/quote] I am sorry. I have absolutely no idea how to do that. My only guess is to modify the .exe to only start a new track of music once the one that it is currently playing is done.

[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="18" id="3133437"]Any way to make a particular track play more often?[/quote] My guess is to copy the track that you want to listen to, and rename it as already existing tracks. For example, you could take "Advent 1", copy it, and rename the copies as "Battle 1," "Battle 2," ect:. Though you lose less variety, you will get the song that you want.

I would think so. Try copying the sound that you are going to replace (as a back up. Always make backups before you change your game files) and try it out. If you use the same exact spelling and capitalization of the name of the file that you will replace, and ensure that it is .ogg, the game should use your new sound. I have not done it myself, but it should work.

[quote who="NovaStalker" reply="4" id="3133250"]I've no idea what you just said. Is this a mode or something?[/quote] I am terribly sorry. I should have said Occupation Victory. Thanks for posting it for me, Rovert10.

[quote who="trackpads" reply="2" id="3133217"]Oh crap they better not remove my achievements!! I just found Space Ponies dammit!!![/quote] Have no fear! You can find them on the Vasari Rebel Artifact Planet 100% of the time.

There is hope yet. Yarlen stated that in the next patch (or maybe a later one?) that there will be a limit to super weapons. Currently, the planned cap is two, but Yarlen did say that he will try to convince his coworkers to increase it to four super weapons per player.

[quote who="IamMirezNL" reply="12" id="3133136"]Limiting them to two sounds a bit too much of a nerf, especially on big maps. Maybe 3/4 superweapons for each star for each player max. And increased recharge time of course. There's nothing wrong with firing two shots at a specific planet to take it down. But making a buch of them, setting them on autofire and watching the lulz is just wrong.[/quote] I think that Yarlen said that he will be trying to increase the cap to four instead

To be honest, I never noticed that first issue. Good eye! [quote]Then after a while all my planets started to spawn yellow culture (my color was orange and I did not have global unity). Perhaps the yellow player got the upgrade and ALL planets started generating culture instead of all his planets?[/quote] That is a bug dealing with the Advent Loyalist's Tech "Global Unity." I assume that whoever was yellow was the Advent Loyalists?

[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="11" id="3131798"]that seems like it's circumventing the rules[/quote] That is exactly why I posted this "bug."

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="4" id="3131622"]I'm assuming they're using a text binner.[/quote] I am using the convertData.exe. Each time that the game gets an update, I just throw the lot of the .entity files into a folder and convert them all in one go.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="6" id="3131574"]Dang it! Why do you have to spoil these awesome things? [/quote] This is not the first time I have done something like this (different games though.) It was bound to be noticed/reported anyway, so I collected the brownie points that I could. [e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="sulley1" reply="5" id="3131399"]I'd really like to know what everyone thinks of the moving parts on Titans though, that would be the bomb.[/quote] I would love to see it implemented myself - it would create amazing visual effects. Alas, I highly doubt that the current engine/code can support such a thing.

Is there another empire occupying the planet that you are trying to steal? If not, then the skill is working as intended. If you are indeed using the ALT's ultimate ability on enemy worlds, and it is in fact not working, then this is indeed a bug.

Curses... I am still at a loss as to what Sinperium and Teun-A-Roonius see. [quote who="sporemaster" reply="24" id="3130881"]well there is a video on YouTube that shows a little spherical ball and its call Combat Nanite Swarm it looks really cool mayb

[quote who="StarFallArmada" reply="45" id="3130795"]reanimation seems to work now, but i havent been able to tell if Return of the Fallen is working now...[/quote] It does. I played a (short) game and both techs work. They are slightly bugged, but they work. Your ships, when destroyed, will have a chance of appearing at your capital world.

I fully agree with you. One faction specific tech should never be completely countered by a single tech/structure from an opposing faction. Wail of the Sacrificed opens up a lot of opportunities for some interesting strategies for Advent Rebel players, but as it stands, these strategies will never come into fruition if an Advent Rebel's populace continuously gets nuked with no chance of growth. I support your idea to change Cleanse and Renewal into a tech that will increase popul

[quote who="sareth01" reply="1" id="3130552"]OH MY THATS HAWT!!!!! I gotta play the A rebs now.[/quote] I find it fun to rip apart a pirate raid only to send back some of their ship to their world. Granted, they will get destroyed within half a minute, but it is so gratifying knowing that the Advent Rebel's will be that much more of a threat.
