I would like it if Pirates were treated almost as if they were a minor faction. In fact they would hamper and attack everything/everones ships and actually favor going after and raiding trade routes over attacking ships (which is historically what pirates did anyway). Also it would be cool if they actually had a planet which was 'hidden' and was used as a base somewhere on the map. This would come with its own shipyard and perhaps some nice planetary bonuses for

Just tossing out a question which indirectly references Brad's thread on DX12. Will GC III be 'upgrade able' or such so we can eventually use DX12 with this game?
I thought Brad was going to do a 4x game integrated with Roberts Space Industries? We actually have to fight in ships we fly for each planet we conquer and then transfer our precious selves to Transports for some ground action? Where is that combo game?
[quote who="Larsenex" reply="2" id="3516265"] I am not a person savvy enough to understand coding. Does this mean that coding today is faster, better more compact than what you did before? I am very please to know you are taking a personal hand in the AI Brad. Your creative hand will shine through I have no doubt. [/quote]
Just kinda hoping Ill see those words soon..
Gilmoy nailed most of the relevant arguments the OP made. This thread is a rehash of 'why cant i have tactical battles'?
The post is awesome and restores my 'faith' in our franchise! He really detaches himself and looks at his game as if he were an angry Steam player. I like it.
Yes Please Seilores thread... Mega Map sizes...when?
Thanks Seilore. I was driving home from visiting my Son and Granson in my Camry. I had my wife, two daughters and her 19yr old son in car. Cruising down I40 into New Mexico at 80mph and Mr 200+ lb buck decided to inspect my front end. Both the Buck and the front end of my Camry did not play well but familiy was fine. No new car for me but at least I wont have to pay the difference in the loan.
I have run into some financial trouble (car totaled in deer strike) and times will be tough ahead. Glad I got Founders version when I did. I look forward to the games release and its future expansions.
Great questions! Lets add to this list! When can we expect to see the next size up in Map sizes? When will we get more coherent and aggressive AI? When is the approximate month for (release of) the combat viewer?
Peregrine do you mean you have turned 'off' auto upgrade?
When you go into design your ships from scratch or use a templet, you can assign its role. Do we have any data on HOW this affects combat? For example I can make a large hull a 'Capital' class on one design..What does that do? I can also assign it Assault or support....again how does its designation affect its role or use in combat?
Hope you all had a great holiday..... Not get back to work..... (securely locks the shackles around Paul's ankles to the desk). What do you all have in mind that you want to address or such? Just a hint?
We must dial up the Drengin need for Aggression against pacifists such as you! All who do not serve us will be crushed under our iron shod boots! Actually I rarely ever warmonger. It just sounded good after your post. I find playing the Drengin really tedious and they need some production bonuses early on to get going and also some bonus 'pirate' ships to raid others economy to help them along.. It would be nice if we can mod or build in s
I agree, we should NOT see any of the other races hardware till after a set time or event such as a trade line or such. Granted YOU the player can sell YOUR ships but I think it would make the game far more fun to not know any of the material any race has. In fact if at war NO trades should be allowed except for grovelings of peace or offerings of tribute. No tech no hardware and the entire area of each enemy should be re fogged unless there is a physical ship to view said space. <
Happy Holidays to all your families. Well Wishes and a Prosperous new year for all!
That is amazing! However by the time you get this production powerhouse built what would you do with it? By this time you should have VAST fleets of ships and then you go broke continuously producing ships.... Cool exercise in math!
Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy Winter Solstice and a Prosperous New Year for all of you!
Yea I cannot figure out the diplomo screen. I have no idea what relations like between AI races.
When I was playing as the Terrans I went into diplomacy and noted that the Krynn were upset because I was trading with someone they were at war with. Ok. When we are at diplomacy we need a better screen to understand who is at war with who. If you go to 'enemies' tab it simply reorganizes the races differently than on the 'diplomacy' tab. How can I tell who dislikes who and who 'likes' who? I want to

Ouch, Ok Rand. I am sorry to hear that. I have about 10 designs I made but I am not bothered about losing them till we get to gold. I can literally lose DAYS of time dithering on the 'perfect' ship and in beta this was bound to happen (have them lost). Again, sorry to hear about the overwrite, that sucks.
What does DRADIS stand for?
