Reply to Who would win in this Si fi fight A ZPM powered wraith hive ship or Enterprise NX 01 in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

In the first .02568 seconds, the Wraith would beam over the hapless crew of the NX 01 for "dinner". Exactly 1.375 seconds later the NX 01 would be vaporized in a glorious blue-white haze. A more interesting contest would be between the Wraith and the Vorlons. Now THAT would be a battle! or Ori mothership vs TNG Klingon Supercuiser

[quote who="Valentine82" reply="2" id="2749760"]Funny but all too true, the Free to Play games end up making more than retail games by getting players to invest insane amounts of time and energy only to find that they can't have that sexy awesome armor or unlock that uber cool class until they fork over some cash, then really sadistic F2P companies force that player to fork over the cash again at regular intervals or lose their ability to use those sweet ultra rare collectables that everyone

One thing's for sure: we can forget about any GC2/MV updates for the foreseeable future. It looks like that "other game" is going to be pretty high-maintenance. At least the MV servers didn't go down this time [e digicons];P[/e]

[quote who="SwerydAss" reply="99" id="2715829"] If it is shown to cost more somewhere in a government run system then someone in that system is swiping the cash.[/quote] That's a large part of the issue. The other part is the tendency of any large organization, especially government, to become a moldering stenchpit of bureaucratic bloatware. Add to that the fact that government is notoriously "process-oriented" instead of "results-oriented", and you have a recipe for stagge

Well, I was being polite. I thought it might offend their delicate sensitivities if I said they are like a festering, non-healing boil in an embarrassing personal area.

No matter what happens, the entitlement-crazed citizens of our formerly-great nation will piss and moan that they aren't getting their "fair share". Someone, somewhere, will ALWAYS have more stuff than they do, or make more money, or make better life decisions. They can't stand that, thus they continue to take and take and take, all with the complicity of corrupt politicians and apathetic voters. Nonetheless, the democRATic party is DOOMED this November. Sure, they'll be back. Like a

That whole "3" thing is "old hat" anyway. There is a NEW uber secret now. There is nothing anyone can say to get one of us to even HINT as to its nature.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="123" id="2630983"].....just stop posting until we hear from Mr.Green.[/quote] I think not. Look, the latest "patch" has catastrophic problems. It locks up in the trade screens, and locks up in the "event" (econ boom, etc) screens. The icons still need to be fixed. The tech trees still need to be fixed. The planetary governor is only half-fixed. It falls on us as customers to provide the developer with feedback. Therefore, the posts will continue.

Is that Alan Bradley I see in that game? You know what that sorry pidgeonsniffer did to me? He put weapons on a colony ship, cozied up next to an unsuspecting constructor of mine, and ambushed it! The nerve! My fault for putting him in charge of my custom Korx AI opponent, I guess. Pretty good score for playing as the Terrans.You oughta try the Korath.
