GC3 is said to be much more moddable than previous SD games, and the AI itself will even fall under that umbrella.... But then again, Brad himself is working on it, and he's really into that stuff... In any case, SD is at least trying...I can't speak for Ironclad, but it was mentioned that the game is as moddable as it is so they could easily change certain things... It does seem more things are hardcoded though in Rebellion....Spaceponies, cosmetic ti

Amazon is working on a system where they ship items to you before you even buy them...they will anticipate what you want by logging things such as what you search for and how long your mouse hovers over certain items...then, they'll ship these items with automated drones... Google, quite frankly, is the least of my worries....

I thought this was common knowledge...some of you make it out like this is some big dark secret that somehow undermines the capabilities of W8...I mean, what would you rather have, the ability to cold boot or the ability to cold boot and fast boot? Seems only like an advantage to me... If (for whatever reason) you absolutely must have a cold boot but don't want to do a restart, you can change it in control panel under power options (the same place you

It's definitely not on W8 installs, it'd only be W8.1...I know for a fact that when you go through that first time setup, at some point there is an option in regards to skydrive...I just don't remember if it completely disables it or if it just doesn't automatically upload files...

Look in the relevant sounddata file in GameInfo...logically, you'd want it to be an effect so I'd think you'd want it your entries to be in that sounddata file... In there, you can classify which type of sound it is (effect, music, etc.) to determine which of the volume controls in game settings will affect it... I would suggest that you mimic the same settings as other effects...it probably has the settings of music or dialogue which is "global" and who's volu

Well, there are very few abilities you'd actually want to do this on anyway, but for the few it would affect it obviously is a huge drawback being unable to do it quickly...the main ones I can think of are the self-repair on the skirmishers and enforcers as well as the kanrak/sentinel abilities...martyrdom and repulsion might also be worth looking into...the last group would be anti-SC abilities like flak burst, TK push, and JW, but tabbing is somewhat viable with those depending

Kol is actually a very good ship late game...it is the best cap for tanking at lvl 6+ with AFF and finest hour...even at levels 3 and 4 it is useful, flak burst deals with the SC while flak burst and the splash damage from finest hour contribute to dealing with corvettes...only problem with the kol is that it isn't useful early and probably not even mid game... Unlike the Ranky, which is never particularly useful...
