Experience increases hit points only I'm not saying that what you say couldn't be true, but what evidence do you have to support this? I have many fleets of the same ship. Some fleets are very experienced (level 20 and above) while other fleets are fresh off the assembly line. I have not recorded any explicit statistics, but it's my subj

There are lots of multiplayer games out there, as well as lots of real time strategy games, what is wrong with having one turn based, single player game for those of us that enjoy that type of game? It's my understanding that multiplayer will eventually be added, but AFAIK no one will be forced to play it that way.
congrats. Fuels Chief is certainly a man of few words. Congratulations are indeed in order, if only perhaps for the limited time it takes us to regain the lead.
I agree that multiplayer in a game that takes such a long time to play is of limited benefit. But I do hope we eventually get multiplayer support in this game. If it takes a year or more to get it then that's fine with me. But I would eventually like to play human to human directly on rare occasions. I also don't know how the mechanics would work, but I would hope for something more concurrent, besides the u go I go method. But if that was the only way to get it in the game then I would be satis
Exactly Mumblefratz, exactly. I still wish I could figure out what I said in this thread that got Cari and Frog pissed. Did you see something I'm missing? LOL As she said, Cari objected to the last line of your post (#79). She apparently took it as criticism. I haven't read everything that preceeded it, but I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it as such.
We like the changes. The majority of users seem to like the changes. You don't. I'm sorry for that. Perhaps the next update you'll like better. I had argued against *some* of the changes prior to release. It did seem that the most significant changes came right at the end (v1.3b2) with very little time before release. In reality, my main objection w
It was not a civ capital. The quintessential man of few words. So what was it? And how did you figure it out?
(Citizen)grim_marmazetSeptember 29, 2006 14:27: Not me... I was trying to help you out here. Work with me. A dedicated women's thread seemed like a reasonable thing to have. But not much point if all but 5 of 26 posts are from men (or should I say boys).
Are you sure you get partial credit when replacing one type of building with a different type? I have never noticed this happening. I just checked it out in the game. I first verified that basic factory (50SP) upgraded to factory (75SP) within two weeks at 15SP per week, so that checks out. I then checked basic factory (50SP) upgraded to bas
I haven't put money down for it yet, but I vote for later with more features vs. earlier with less. I don't care one way or the other about a beta, I'll only play a "released" version anyway.
You don't think free men fight better than slaves? Great comment.
Pretty expensive trick eh Mumblefratz? Actually, she kept her last car for 10 years and it only cost me $15,000. If she keeps this one for another 10 then it's only $2,500 a year. I'm just happy she can afford her own gas. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Te
How did you react when people older than you were telling you this? I wish someone had told me this, but I probably would have ignored them. However, any fool can learn from his own mistakes, a wise person learns from other peoples mistakes.
I'm still fumbling with it at this point. Previously, I quickly got manufacturing capital on my home planet and with 100% approval and the 70% pop growth racial bonus had no real problem pumping out a colony ship with 500 colonists every other turn. Pretty much colonizing from only my home planet I was able to slightly out colonize suicidal AI's on a gigantic abundant all galaxy. Now I don't really know what it is, it's like morale is a touch lower, income is a touch lower, the effect o
Maybe it is just me, but, I think a strategy game is best when it has more strategic options, not less. Amen, Brother, Amen. There are very large elements of truth in the things you say. However, the changes are not without some benefit. Elimination of the save/load no production bug is large from my point of view. Also, early colonization is
oops wasn't thinking Actually, IMHO humor has the best chance of eliciting a response. In fact our interchange has probably increased our odds.
No. Meglobob is very stingy with words. Actually the answer is No, No and No. BTW love the title.
To all the oldtimers (who have a wife) don't they get pi$$ed at the fact you play computer games!? Absolutely, however since I just spent $25,000 on her new car she tends to cut me some slack (for now at least).
For the record, I've never seen another forum user start screaming and having a tantrum, except for Psycho. And he really can't be classed as a normal person. So yeah, IMO it shows. When I was his age I couldn't spell most of the words he's used. In general, I tend to cut him some slack just because of his age. There's something about people
Actually, for a 12 year old night hawk can make a surprisingly cogent argument. Though it's clear he can be childish at times, it's unclear that it's any more frequently than some of us supposedly more mature posters.
I would like to be able to Delete Stardock's ship. These are useless, except the "base" drawing. I'd like to delete these as well, but you can't so I obsolete them as they become available. They reside in My Documents/M
What do I have to research to build better ships? All I have been able to build is Star Furys. What do I have to research? It sounds like you're trying to build core ships as they become available. You really need to pretty much ignore the core ships (I just obsolete each and every one of them as they become available). In all cases, you're much
All right. Enough is enough. All the boys out of the pool. This is the girls swim time. Besides, what women most talk about when there are no men present, is men. If you're smart, you'll shut up and merely lurk like the rest of us.
Somehow I get the impression that Frogboy isn't going to tell us that one Mumblefratz. I was trying to cajole a response out of him, but you probably just spoiled my chances (no hard feelings though). Actually, I doubt even he could give a definitive answer, but I would think his subjective opinion would be better than most.
The Intel 82845G Graphics Controller is part of the motherboard chipset and is no longer supported by Intel. The latest drivers for this chip are from 6/28/05 and do not support DirectX 9.0c. You need a new video card. You should get one that explictly states that it supports DirectX 9.0c. I had the same issue when I got the game, I have the same chipset as well. My PC was also limited in that it didn't have an AGP slot so I had to go with a PCI card. I went with a GeForce 5500 for abo
