Brad, that nice 75% science increase in the middle of going from 5-15 isn't colony unique either.

OUCH! I don't know how long they've been like this, but the improvements are severely hosed. Like I typed them while asleep hosed. Basic improvements from first to last level in total percentage increase: Research 10--5--75--10--12.5--15 Manufacturing 25--5--7.5--10--12.5 I didn't go poking around further, the files are in need of some proof reading.

The starport really isn't too bad so long as you're trying to build other things that will give it big adjacency boosts, particularly if you have a +3 tile to stick it on as well. I did a few of them. But yes, it's typically subpar and you get a major boost from a factory surrounded space elevator instead.

First, this is a nice improvement to what were some really easily exploited mechanics. I've never been able to handle high level AI settings in GalCiv, can't handle em in Civ games either, it's sad. Until the third iteration anyway, where you could have massive production super powers using the right buildings and adjacencies with layers of starbases in orbit. I expect I'm going to have to turn it down from gifted now, so that's nice. Not so nice is so

Shit, you almost got me... I think if he wasn't clearly going to get his funding, I'd actually consider crowd funding a game. It would be nice to have a real successor to X-Com that isn't a vastly inferior design, I loved playing through the reboots, but they ain't a strategy game, they're an RPG. :(
Under built nuclear reactors are stupid, but that's seriously overblown crap. Radiation is utterly lethal in the reactors, but the most people will see from living around them outside the evacuated area is a slight increase in cancer rates. After a very short distance, they're a non-issue, less relevant than high altitude. North Korea on the other hand is an autocracy that starves it's populace so the chosen few can live it up in the government and play at being a world powe
I find the case to be one of the most retarded things to ever grace computer magazines. I prefer function to form, so I got an absolutely beautiful Nanoxia DS5, a superior case from every practical standard. It's lined with sound dampening material, has sound dampening doors to shield the drives and fans, massive airflow potential and compatibility with water cooling systems, modular drive bays, loads of room and compatibility with anything I could want to put in it, quick access

Pretty sure you are. I'll just phone it in for a bit at some point.

I wasn't going to mention all the other people who were actually supposed to finish the mod before I somehow ended up with it. :)
I can give you the technical explanation, but why is a bit less exact. The structure build rate increase doesn't impact starbases because they aren't a planet module, which is what the entity modifier is for. There were no starbases when it was made, and it wasn't modified to account for them when they were added. The missile turrets are. The damage per second listing, without them, shows less than after you gain the resear

It looks like missing bits result in a crash on the options screen from main menu in SOA2, but Goa's mods are working fine.
That's because commies and libertarians both start shitting their pants when government joins hands with corporations to crap all over their freedoms. :)
I don't buy into the conspiracy stuff, it's all just money. I'm pretty sure that Uncle is keeping sound and video on as many people as they can in the name of safety, but the simplest explanation for the behavior of major corporations is probably right, they're just optimizing their cash flow. If you want a voice activated appliance, it has to listen to you, even while it's off. It's no different from clap-on lights. They're

What are you, an official spokesperson for Microsoft? No one at all serious can call what they've pulled since releasing 10 anything but underhanded. They hid nagware, advertisements, and even full blown operating system upgrades as critical security updates. I still have three years of security updates left on Windows 7 that I wont be using because they turned the update system into a trojan horse. I had to spend a considerable amount of time coun
No to the first, yes to the second. You need to add a constraint that is achieved by the other ability. There are many ways to do such things.

Some people need to get out more... Desktop software isn't art, regardless of what the creators like to think. It's a chair, table, a functional object with a purpose. The desktop will eventually achieve a form that people stick with, throwing minor changes in just to piss people off, like Metro. You're seeing the reduction of volatility in design that comes with a new product maturing. Think of cell phones, they started off as huge b

I believe for GC3 it won't be a big deal, but you definitely want to use SSD's for most gaming. When I play Total War: Warhammer with my brother, it takes forever. He's running on a notebook drive, I've got mine on a slow SSD, my map loads take a few seconds, his go about two minutes. Our systems are actually close to the same age, his actual processing power isn't that far behind, but the dogshit drive makes for obscenely slow loading ti

I've been a lazy bastard. One should show up eventually here once I get off my ass and work on it.
Yeah... Monitors can be a dud when you're after pretty narrow feature sets.
I recommend you look for hardware on Newegg, even if you don't plan to purchase it there. Much more comprehensive technical information and reviews. Naturally, it still lacks that detail. :) You might run into monitors not stating they're one of the more expensive screens, but it would be terrible marketing on their part. You're not going to find a 1ms display outside of TN. If ghosting is a primary concern and you want as little late
Light bleeding is a matter of bad housing. These super thin bezel monitors are terrible about it, whether it's IPS or not is irrelevant. There is IPS glow(light bleeds through the screen), but neither technology produces a good black. VA is better, but they're not particularly great either in other ways. CRT displays had better contrast levels than any of them. TN panels are the worst of the bunch, the actual display is thick, and whateve
Not likely, I'm unlikely to reproduce.
Ugh, moronic science entry... This is right up there with "dogs can't feel anything for, and aren't smart enough to understand, their owners". It's one of those scientific conclusions that was made by someone who can't think their way out of a wet paper bag, and became a commonly held belief somehow. It's also instantly disproved the first time you meet a dog that isn't really fucking stupid. My dad had one that you couldn't
