The only stupid question is the one not asked. And yes, they other factions are not yet avalible to us. hopfully soon.

I know we are not testing those races yet, but from past game seeing this beam work is just ugly. what I mean by this is when its firing its a really short beam blast , I believe I looked at this in the past games and its set to like less then a second. I modded this in my mod and set the beam burst to 2 seconds and it looks 10 times better. that short burst is just god awful ugly. It makes no sense to see a beam blast fire at such a short interval. Watching th
I could counter on this because I have seen where a planet does get wasted and the AI does back off and leave the planet. but I have a feeling that with Aux Govt in place the AI is thinking the planet is still owned and a live which is why they are continually bombing it. I still think this is bugged and not a normal thing for the AI to be doing.
Hmm, Maybe I got this mixxed up. but its the one where you ally with the rebles that constantly spawn in your back areas. Hate that ability.
I personally can not stand this ability in the game. its more of a nuisance if anything. The Rebels constantly pouring into your back areas and having to make sure you are well protected just causes way to much chaos and constantly having to manage my back end areas and keeping me from concentrating on the forward areas and moving deeper into enemy territories. plus this ability has become nothing more then a rush by players to see who can get it first. I really think
Yea, I think the Titan needs to move in closer to attack. its a powerful ship and should not worry about getting beat up. I always move my ship in closer for the kill when Im playing tactics like this. Seems to work much better.
I'm not so sure I like this as being normal. Its not normal to keep bombing a planet that has already been decimated. To me this seems out of place. I would like to hear Yarlen or one of the other devs comments about this. To continue bombing a planet that has no life does not seem normal to me.
Was playing against the AI with a Friend tonight and about 2 hours into the game I had a Starbase with Aux Govt protecting a planet. the Rebels had aligned with the Pirates and was using their units. The Pirate Pillagers were Sieging one of my planets and had destroyed the population. The planet showed it was still being controlled by the Starbase with Aux Govt. The Bug was the Pillagers kept trying to kill the planet. they were firing endlessly at it. I let th
I haven't had a chance to look yet since I'm at work, but have they added any of the other races to play as yet? nice patch, cant wait to try it and see how the AI acts now. but Im not overly happy with the high cost of the Titan now.

My response was for the OP, but in regards to your statement I'm not entirely sure. The harder AI levels are actually designed to cheat on multiple levels to make them more challenging. I just did a big game vs a vicious AI, and I ended up facing wave after endless wave of multiple lvl 10 capital f
Your not alone, and I agree. Ive had to change my tactics because of these weapons. And yes, the announcement that ones being fired drives one crazy. I may have to mod this one out myself and remove the sound file associated with it. btw, there is a discussion about this one in another thread. so its not unknown to the devs.
[quote who="Cooljedidude" reply="10" id="3105673"]That's one of my many issues with Steam, which I despise. I wish they'd have stayed with Impulse. [/quote] you can absolutely turn off updates to your games in Steam.. but good luck playing with anyone else since your copy will be out of date. Steam is not a bad medium, its easy to use, non inter-feral and as someone else said, they have some really great sales.
Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this new game? I would have to say that I do not like that Idea and that anyone wanting to not use titans go back to playing the older game if you don't like them. But that's my opinion.

[quote who="axxo2" reply="6" id="3105998"] Quoting Darksxx, reply 4 Yarlen stated a while back that yes. the Cap-ship was not supposed to be able to capture structures only demo them. Structures being captured were also causing issues with ownership of an area. He said this would be fixed in an upcoming patch. what is the difference between the demolishing thing and just regular laser fire? more damage taken to the building? [/quot
[quote who="Rio007" reply="3" id="3105981"]Darksxx, that is a reasonable argument. However, I need to run Win 8 for Development related reasons and I'm a dire dual-boot hater. And as a final note, looking at the already in the millions install-base of the Consumer preview, I believe all ISVs waiting for RTM, will hurt themselves. Especially regarding the fact that today almost all apps run smoothly (my personal experience everything works, except the sins titles)&nbs
I have been noticing this for a long time in games, and not just the beta. For the longest time the AI seems like they will never use or level upgrade their ships by using crew training. Usually this becomes more noticeable after a much longer game is being played and you have wiped out a fleet of AI Capships. You Will usually end up fighting ships that are still level 1. The AI seems to neglect using their money to train their crews to level up their ships to a
Yarlen stated that they are not going to address windows 8 issues until a much later time when that OS is a finalized OS. They are concentrating on the now and not what will be coming out. Me personally, this is why I do not mess around with any OS that is Beta. It causing to many issues with either Drivers not being compatible or the fact that an OS beta will only last a few months before it expires. to me its not worth the time having to reinstall all your apps and

Yes, please add an option Yarlen to minimize the feed back commands voices in the game. Thank you,
English please! None of us can read that.
Well, I can say for sure that I have never had this happen since I started playing the beta. seems only some do.
Its been this way since the first beta rolled out back in 07. Nothing new here to most of us.
