I fell for a fake Microsoft Tech Support scam the other day. I haven't found any lingering effects so far, but I am going to dispute transactions when my bank will let me. With stuff like this happening, it doesn't surprise me that the world is headed in such a negative direction.

Never mind, I saw a couple of YouTube videos where people actually went through the scenario lists in Rebellion and even Outlaw Sectors, though creating articles for all of the new maps are still needed. Can anyone tell me about the new maps in Rebellion, specifically the max number of players, their order in the scenario groups, and which scenario group they are in. I am guessing the Competitive variants are next to the original version and I think I know which scenari

GalCiv2 ForumsAuto designer? I have never been able to build any missile or mass driver ships, even though I have researched what I thought was the required weapon techs for some of the tiny ships, which is what has me confused.

I am not discouraged yet, since Siege was a particularly tough one, though with so many Dread Lords, Achilles' Heel looks like it is going to be even tougher. Yes, since some use the Stinger II or Railgun II for example, at least according to the wiki. Focus sliders, aren't there default designs that use missiles and mass drivers? So there aren't any prebuilt missile or mass driver ships, despite what the wiki says?

I am definitely looking forward to Star Citizen, ARK: Survival Evolved, Subnautica, and Empyrion - Galactic Survival. Star Citizen looks all set to be one of the greatest things ever made, the only problem is getting a computer capable of handling it. ARK: Survival Evolved has a great premise, but there are so many grindy gameplay mechanics due to the emphasis on tribe based PvP, I am worried it won't live up to its potential and be a viable singleplayer experience. <

I saw TFA back on Christmas, and I wasn't impressed. TFA is a decent enough film, but as a sequel to RotJ it was terrible. TFA somehow managed to rehash ANH and try to retell the OT again 30 years later, without using any existing locations and incorporating two of the worst plot points from the EU. The opening crawl was like a dagger to my heart. Of course, all of my enthusiasm vanished with "Legends", so TFA was the only chance the new canon had of convincing me to give it a chance, bec

I got Galactic Civilizations II some time ago, but being turn-based it never really caught on with me, because I prefer to have direct control of my units so I can get the most out of the least. However, seeing Civilization V played recently convinced me to give it another try with much better results. I have made it through Siege to Achilles' Heel in the Dread Lords campaign. I have only played as the Terran Alliance so far, and the arbitrary requirements for the missil

After Supreme Commander Gold got switched to Steam only without any notice, I have very little faith that most developers and publishers even have a choice anymore. Most PC games sold in stores nowadays are require Steam, defeating the advantages of a physical release. Other than Blizzard and EA, most developers and publishers don't even try to support their own games without Steam. Those two facts are what scares me about Steam.

The abandonment of the EU and the inclusion of TCW as part of the foundation for the new canon just kill any enthusiasm I might of had in new films.

The only reason I haven't backed SC is I don't have a computer capable of handling it at all. So from my point of view, I would be wasting my money, because I won't be getting any of the benefits of backing any time soon, at least until I get a top of the line computer. Now, if SC hadn't blown all of their funding goals out of the water and then some, then I might have backed SC to support that dream. But since SC is doing just fine, I don't feel like I need to back it, be

Well, strike craft refueling was a feature that could be turned off, so they will hopefully at least make it an option eventually. I honestly would too, though definitely with formation options.

The way they almost always showed Homeworld 2, besides the Homeworld campaign, had me expecting that. What unit functions did they change, do Support Frigates and Repair Corvettes at least repair? Did the modernization of the UI at least entail things like making the Manager hotkeys work from each of the other Managers instead of just from the standard view and making control groups capable of being disbanded or cleared by deselecting units and reforming the control group?

Well, at least one will be able to use anything one owns in the PU in Arena Commander and the FPS Module without any strings attached, which makes sense considering they are in-universe simulators and, therefore, allow for the ability to experiment in a safe environment.

The graphics are indeed dated, but there isn't anything quite like commanding a fleet of equal numbers of Assault and Ion Cannon Frigates, anchored by a pair of Destroyers and a Heavy Cruiser, escorted by eight Multi-Gun Corvettes and squadrons of Interceptors and Attack Bombers, and support by four Support Frigates and a Carrier. The backstory to Homeworld is also excellent, especially the history of Kharak and the design of the starship technology.

I got HW around the time HW2 was released, but since the GotY Edition only ever had a teaser for Cataclysm, I wasn't really aware of HW2, beyond finding the demo years later, and I didn't obtain Cataclysm either. The nerfing of support into oblivion by removing support frigates and giving that functionality to resource collectors instead, and of course the "glass cannon" frigates, were my problems with HW2. I actually kind of like the idea of strike craft being squadrons inste

The stark difference between Homeworld and Homeworld 2, removing Support Frigates/Repair Corvettes and making Frigates extremely weak, was enough to tell me what can happen when the sequel is vastly different from the original.

I mentioned I wanted an Aurora ES, a F7C Hornet, and a Constellation Andromeda for a reason, because they personify my dreams of flying the Millennium Falcon , an T-65 X-wing starfighter, and Serenity , though I would like to at least be a crew member on some of the larger ships eventually.

Unless I can get a job, there isn't much I can do about getting involved in Star Citizen. I would definitely start out with an Aurora ES, then work my way up to also obtaining a F7C Hornet and a Constellation Andromeda.

Star Citizen is a space sim, a space sim where everything has been created to visual fidelity of a top of the line first person game. I would have already backed years ago if I was confident I could obtain a computer capable of handling it any time soon.
