[quote who="transitive" reply="1" id="2233571"]this is a fundamentally good idea. it will need refinement and tweaking and playtesting to get the numbers right and find exploits or other oversights.

[quote who="SyDaemon" reply="3" id="2226848"] Quoting PurplePaladin, reply 2 Ya, with Stardock, we get great, detailed updates almost every day, but, unless I've missed something, I never see anything from GPG; and since they are "in charge" of lots of things Stardock has little say over in Demigod, it's a bit troubling. . . They do post on the forums every now and then, when necessary. Stardock is doing it on their behalf. Like I've mentioned in a

I have this exact same problem. I only became aware of it after watching my brother play Demigod on his computer (which has a more recent card). Every single one of those bugs which the OP's demonstration video showcased happen to me as well. I have a 7900 GS which is fully patched. So I suppose you can add me to the list as well :P I hope they fix this moderatly soon (I'd love to have the same pretty visuals as my brother has!) I hope they get this solved once the connection
"YHBT" Yes, yes we have. And not by the Devs :P

I personally have never had an issue with Impulse. It is quick, works nicely, and doesn't auto start every time I log on. I realize some people may have issues, but for the non-warez group who are just going on about DRM, get a grip. It isn't intrusive, and it lets Stardock insure that people have an incentive to still buy the game for SP. Downloading the patches isn't a problem. If you have good enough internet to come here, you have good enough internet to download the patches :P
If a Iconus Guardian uses repel while a ship is charging it's jump drive, the ship moves (often past the jump window) but it still jumps. The actual window is purely cosmetic. Of course, otherwise Guardians would be too powerful, since they could keep everyone from jumping; I don't see how they can really fix it though (barring moving the jump window with the ship, which seems a bit un neccesary).
Wow, I had noticed this before, but I've never gotten anything this bad. I've played multi some, but mostly been doing single for time issues lately, so I can just imagine how annoying that would be to get hosed like that in multi. Hopefully they'll fix this for 1.1 After all as San Tsu says, they just need to make sure the HW has phase lanes to all the "starting" planets. Should be even easier since it doesn't count them I'd think, albeit I'm not a coder. Still it'd be nice if they would fix
They do have a 6 player random map size. It's just down the menu inside the "medium" scale menu. I'd say a little over half way down. But it is there.

Actually, I don't think there even is a limit to how far out of a gravity well a ship can be pushed. I was playing on doppelgangers, as Advent, and when I was using repulsion on a TEC fleet, after I killed off the fleet I saw all my fighters and bombers flying off. Turns out one of their carriers had been knocked (and I don't think it was the repel, it was waaay to far for that) out of the system. It was actually closer to one of the other planets then the star. It took my fighters over a minute
I like most of the ideas here (more planet types, perhaps one more race, super-capitals, greater diversification within factions, starbases etc.) but some of these I really don't like. Namely random events. Please please please do not add random events. Unless it is toggleable so we can just turn it off. If random events became part of the game, then MP would be destroyed, since you can't plan for random events etc. Anyway, I'm certain they'll make a good expansion and I look f
As Advent I go: 1. Colony ship for quickest expansion. 2. Halcyon carrier once I have a decent sized force of illums, the energy cooldown bonus gives the entire fleet a nice damage bonus. 3. I normally don't have more than a few caps at the end, just a large number of frigates and cruisers, but generally look for the caps that don't fight as much as they support. Something that will help your frigates is very helpful.
[quote]With the nerfing of RA and the Subverters, I'm wondering if it will even make sense to play Vasari anymore at all in 1.1.[/quote] Yes, after all it isn't like everything is bad for the Advent. It seems the Domina is getting a sizeable boost. Of course, given that the Vasari carrier has that healing cloud ability which does affect their strong (Individually) fighters/bombers it might be that with the increased importance of strike craft that this means vasari could p
Well it's just the size of the gravity well where the ship combat takes place. You can move slightly outside the gravity well, almost all ship combat takes place inside the planet's gravity well. Also the edge of the well and normal empty space is where your ships will come out of a phase jump. As such having a larger gravity well just means ships have farther to go to get the planet. Smaller gravity well means they can get in-range of the planet quicker. Aside from that, it doesn't rea
It may not be the best, but it is certainly very good at the least. I for one have yet to have a single instance where the UI was either "in the way" or didn't allow me to easily do what I wanted. Overall I find it pretty intuitive and it certainly fulfills the required usability needed for the game.
This has nothing on what I've seen though. I have seen planets several times with both the dense core (+33% gravity well size) and the porous core (-33% gravity well size). Which makes them just be normal...with extra text :P I think they didn't ever put in any exclusions with those.
[quote]From the Combat Mechanics post[/quote] Where is that exactly? I looked in the other forums and I didn't see a pinned post that seemed to reference Combat Mechanics. A link to it would be nice, since I'm still trying to figure out exactly what all the different values do.
FrogBoy (I think it was him, one of the Stardockians anyway) said in another thread that their cost would be increased almost proportionally. In other words, they have more squadrons, but cost more. The Squadrons would be 10-20% cheaper on average though, giving them a slight buff. And yes, it is reffering to the cruisers. I believe the term "Frigate" basicly includes all non-Capital ships.
I hope they don't rip off Supcom [I]that[/I] badly. Although, I have a moderate amount of faith the devs will come up with something interesting, they've done a good job so far.
