Great to hear a direct response! Thanks for the insight on why. What about having you just point the ship in the right direction? Either drag a 3 point axis showing up/down, left/right, and front/back or start your design with the axes predefined. A 'rotate model' might be helpful in case you started out wrong. Alternatively, instead of hardpointing with a visible mount, give the option if you only want to see the hardpoint when you're in builder mode (checkbox

The mounts for ships is a bit wonky. Ok, a lot wonky. * Some ship pieces have engines included. In fact, they emit signs of thrust when you move. Why do we need engine mounts if pieces already have engines? Can Stardock make an on/off button for whether a piece is an engine (and/or toggle it to be a thruster) rather than require a mount that messes up how my ship looks? * Some pieces look like guns. In fact, they are. But purely cosmet

Last I knew, editing the OP is a pain in the toochus. But dan, you should see about getting what you just posted on the original post. Also, your link to the sri-corp site still uses the html to the stealthblade site. folks, you should have seen all the fighters in this fleet.

[quote who="Baleur" reply="4" id="2007060"]I dont call 1.10 a "mini update", i can play without it now after getting used to the mini-market, but yeah im sure it will be worth the wait, just wondered [/quote] Yeah, it's not a mini-update with trivial changes. The problem is, it is not a mini-update with trivial changes. It'd take a crapton of extra man-hours (and a lot of Danman's) to get it for that immediately.

Best of luck, IC! If neither wins, I'll... feel gypt, like when Metallica lost the metal Grammy to Jethro Tull... If CoD:WaW wins anything, expect to hear a scream. It should compete for 'best mod by the developer.' Still a fun game though, glad I didn't have CoD4 or I'd really complain.

The biggest difference between UK and US would be culture. Over here, we're frickin babied until we leave high school, and many folks have a shock when they leave on their own and have to do things themselves (college or not). If I'm not mistaken, most of you Europeans are raised to be more independent earlier on. And due to liberal "they're so young and shouldn't be expected to do x' crap, it will probably only get worse. I will say that the last two years of high s

Obama was helped by race, but he won because many people don't like Bush, and therefore Republican control. What's going to happen, either this term or at least within two or three, is we'll go too far left, and then we'll tire of Democrats, and overcorrect by voting in a majority of Republicans across the board, throwing balance out again. And Palin hurt McCain as well...very poor pick for a VP. Inecperienced, and too far religious right. Scared some folks away.

[quote who="KingBingo" reply="12" id="1924056"] Reminds me of talking to one American, he argued that the 2nd admendment says the peoples right is to bear 'arms' not 'guns', so he was entitled to own mortars, landmines, attack gunships, heavy cannons the lot.

Master of Orion is not in yet. Star Control, TCA, Dark Fleet, Unity, and merging mods are the priority at the moment. Makbar, there is no reason to wait for the release. Just because we release something doesn't mean we take a break. We go, 'oh good, it's out', and then work more. Don't worry, we'll get everything done as we can, and release it when it's ready so you guys aren't waiting forever (though it must feel like it)

[quote who="Deadeye31" reply="2" id="1882623"]From Star Trek Armada SOASE gets the gravity wells, ship interaction with planets and warp movement. The warp movement is a hybrid version of EAW and Armada. The maps are techincally all one plain but because of huge movement time, you have to warp to get anywhere. Armada did this years ago. Armada also did the way to put ships and planets both on a map. Small planets with capital ships or specially designed vessel having the ability to bombard sa

[quote who="yoadjla" reply="14" id="1880327"]Hey heres a friendly suggestion instead of making betas why not finish it? [/quote] If we released a new version everytime something was changed, there would be bugs. Imagine minidumping every time you moused over a certain button. That was an actual problem in the first 2.0 Beta. Had we released that as a new version, people would have been confused, a bit irate, and may not have wanted to keep playing. We're w

I don't know about ya'll, but I like to be able to pick up my game 10 years after I get them. I still put Earthsiege 2 and Xwing Alliance on my computer when I'm in the right mood. If I had the ability, I'd start an Airwarrior (not 2, not 3, just Airwarrior) server if it would let me. I miss playing with buttloads of people, and buttloads of planes. Duke Nukem 3d? Come get some. Star Control? Wel...you get the idea.
