Man, I'm so into that planet-eating penguin idea right now. It would be a lot of fun! And probably quite impressive to watch

Ok get your flaming skills ready Schem!: What if the phase jump functions like this. To open the jump into phase-space takes an infinitesimal portion of energy, because at that moment the phase space is infinitesimal in size. The longer the jump takes the larger the amount of energy is needed to form the phase-space. Phase-space can be imagined as a tunnel, though in reality you can't see it or describe its shape since its form is defined by the energy of the jump. (And really
psshaw they could also make giant penguins randomly swallow your planet, but I'm quite sure thats not exactly game worthy. That would be pretty cool! Maybe an Advent power? They can summon the Penguins: Destroyers of Worlds (if you didn't catch it, not entirely serious there)
I sprung for it. Makes me #30?
Nothing, it is indeed a very unique name. Ive been thinking of random things trying to come up with my own all day. like: PSHYCO POPTART!!!!!! Hmm has a certain snap to it lol... Of course now that you've come up with it I can't use it. So far
What part of "TEC ships use crude kinetic weapons" dont you understand? Well, I would think that if they're maneuvering around solar systems in SPACE SHIPS they would have neutron bombs which we have had since 1962. WWW Link After reading this I see that they aren't going to leave the infrastructure intact, but they would still be us

Hmm neutron bombs would be better (if my info on them is correct). Bake the enemy and keep all their stuff.
Truth!! You know over the past few days I have been thinking about changing my screen name to that. Much more fitting, and creative. Anyways, I wont bother with this thread. The question has been answered at least thrice by now. Changing your name to Sentient Umbrella lol?
As for you Great Emperor, we will see just how good you are soon enough. It would be a shame to carry the title of The Great Emperor and only be an average player. Extraordinary, is just being extra ordinary. I prefer to just be ordinary. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet", so my name is just a name(that can be easily remembered <img onload="setImageSize_onLoad(650,this);" src="http://images.s
I capture motherships is that even possible??? Don't think so, I remember trying it and they just abort right before they're supposed to win.
rechard ???? I think he means long ranged weapons.
I just hope there ARE people playing it online... I picked up battlestations midway 2 weeks back and I was on gamespy the other night and no one was playing it... thats cause we are all
Now I have to live with my college connection, which usually is somewhere between 65 and 999 depending on how many dumb-f**** are downloading pirated videos and/or songs. bwahahahaha, I have to live with my college connection, which is usually between 15 and 120 something depending on who i'm connection to and where. Gotta love 30mb downpipe (depending on the number of downloads, but a VAST campus network i
you can make all the spelling mistakes you like but, it spelled ALCARI, with a C ! If you're not joking (total lack of punctuation/grammar makes it hard to tell) and you're talking about the Master of Orion race, I can direct you to MOO manual PDFs that say otherwise. He's talking about the planet the developers named after him in game. No j
Few weeks? Damn, I really hope that is the case. Still, I think it is more likely that the August release date turns into September turns into October tuns into November and finally turns into December. Isn't that how it always goes? Still, I would rather wait a few extra months and get a game that is stable, balanced and 100% done. Well I was referring to the beta which (knock on wood) is supposed to
I really hope that the stars are actually useful for recharging antimatter. I would be pleased to be able to use them as staging points for invading enemy help star systems. It would be amazing if 2 or more enemy players happen jump to the star in someone else's star system at the same time. Fighting each other wouldn't help them claim planets in that system, so they sit there and eye other while the AM recharges. Hehe, things would be
Yeah, before I came to college we had a cable connection so the pings were always sweet like in the fifties or lower. Now I have to live with my college connection, which usually is somewhere between 65 and 999 depending on how many dumb-f**** are downloading pirated videos and/or songs. I think its a satellite connection, and the high latency and shortages during thunderstorms support this. Surprisingly the best times are 10 am and 4 am.
still, by just being good at everthing (but king at nothing) its still unbalanced. what would you attack it with??? Well since it's still a capital ship it's vulnerable to other capital ships and of course, bombers. Either just sidle your capital ship up to it one-on-one and pound it to bits (taking damage yourself, but winning since it's one-on-one and its not a specialized capital ship) or strip its f
Hes saying its not good at anything, and it isnt bad. Kind of like the backbone, all purpose cruiser of a navy. ^What he said is spot on for what I meant.
then how is that general again? Ok, perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "General" without defining what I meant by it. A capital ship with less of a vulnerability to bombers. Which really isn't a "General purpose ship" so I'll drop that now. A ship that is both carrier and capital ship combined. Albeit one that operates less efficiently in either role than a dedicated carrier or a dedicated capital sh
a worthy reason And the game is going to be in beta soon, so if it were a practical idea this would be the time to test and balance such a ship. I'm sure by raising or lowering its firepower, shielding, and size of fighter/complement it could be made useful but not the game-killer you and I are afraid of. its just the concept of it being generalized. means that it can be brought into anything and still be ub
Hes has been branded the community title of Spammer I'm not the only one. Thinking about why I'd like to see the Imperial Star Destroyer modded into SoaSE, I've realized that I really like the idea of a multipurpose capital ship. The Imperial Star Destroyer from EAW has the punch to go up against other capital ships, while providing its own fighter screen and bomber force. <b
Hes has been branded the community title of Spammer. While many people compete for it daily, no one can beat Schem. As for the dreadnaught thing, I would really enjoy having my fleet be graced by the Emperor's finest ships. I'm surprised they even try...

unless its been changed (which, cough, it probably has) its max accel, not max speed. Sweet! That will be a refreshing change. And damn you reply fast!
