I find it sad that some people find nothing ethically wrong about stealing someone's hard work. Regardless of whether or not you the DRM sucks (which I do), it doesn't give you a right to bypass your moral obligation to do whats right. There are far too many immature, selfish people in the world.
It can, however, be well done. EA's recent survival-horror/action game Dead Space is a prime example. There are specific save points in the game, but its never to the point where there is hours between them or you have to replay certain sections over and over again because any difficulty. It adds to the intensity the game delivers. Final Fantasy III is an example of the developers just taking the concept too far.
Explosions in the Sky is eerily celestial. Anything by them fits pretty well.
I have a question. If I buy all of the micro-expansions at $9.99 through Impulse, will I recieve all the content? Or will the boxed retail version have something special? I won't pay the money for the micro expansions if I have to dish out thirty bucks to get the rest of the content anyway in a store.
Usually make the capital ships heroes or gods from greek mythology. Achilles, Priam, Hector, Aeneas, Athena, Ares, ect. Really and endless amount of names there if you are so inclined. Planets are either RL towns or fictional towns from books I've read. London, Tear, Troy, Redwall, Illian, ect. I throw some other stuff in too. But I do always name them. Gives me a sense of connection to them.
Does anyone else think the Returning Armada cooldown needs to be lessened? It went from an uber-powerful tech to a complete waste of resources. A happy medium would be nice. :D
Eh. Its not really my desire to have realistic orbits. It would be cool I suppose for about twenty minutes. After that it would just get really old. I can see why they left it out. It was just a curiosity of mine. Thanks for the answers everyone. :)
While playing the Sins the other day, I thought of something. The gravity wells are present. And I believe they have some effect on movement (faster to move towards the planet than away from it), but I'm just curious as to why orbital structures and ships don't do just that- orbit. I imagine it would be a tactical pain in the ass when you only need to defend on side of the system, but thats the only reason I could think why it wasn't included. Was it just overlooked or purposely left out?
[quote]Many Americans have this funny way of intentionally destroying words/language/culture because "uh'm 'murican, uh'n do wutevur ah want"[/quote] Oh yes. All Americans are selfish, uneducated jackasses with an egotistic view of the world. There are plenty of nice Americans, as well as plenty of Americans whose eyes I want to gouge out. Same as any other nationality. Stating a absolutely ridiculous stereotype like that just shows your own lack of knowledge about Americans, a
The Halo books (which no one except me read apparently) had great descriptions of space combat in the Halo universe, for both Human and Covenant. Granted, taking a few canon liberties would be necessary, but I think the mod would be very do-able.

I like this a whole lot. This will be a download for me, although I am curious to know how much of a hit my system will take with this mod. The video seemed to run beautifully, is there any possibility of you posting your specs so we can compare them to our systems?
Its much slower paced than either of those games. If you have an attention span that can handle it, this game blows the others out of the water IMO.
Hmm. I think I'd like to. Are we talking a game a night? Or play a piece then save it game? I've neglected playing online up to this point simply because I don't have four hours to invest in this game at a time, but I'd love to start with a regular group.
