Wow, over 1000 posts it is! It's been some time since my last visit, and now I come back to see my beloved Diplomats back at the top spot with 5 players in the top 10 and 10 out of the first 20. I'm really busy with real life at the moment, but I shall come back to the one and only true faith! Keep
Me too. Making starbases almost as customizable as ships sounds like a logical step to me, given the huge success of the ship designer.
Tiny hulls packed with weapons and engines make excellent capital ship killers lategame.
Starbases are a little too puny in my opinion.
Thanks for "yet another update"! (yaup!) I hope that the 1.3 and 1.4 changes to farms, morale and economy will turn out to be the right ones in the long run. (It's not about making money or MV points, but somehow 1.3 felt too restrained when compared to 1.2.)
I guess somebody forgot to change that functionality after copy & paste of the load game dialogue.
You really consider control-n cheese? Yes, I consider Ctrl-N to get a better starting position cheesy as it gives a considerable advantage against the AI. That said, feel free to use it! Hmm, does anyone else agree that having a good starting position
I'd say that using Ctrl-N to get the uber starting position makes the game monotone.
Hmm, the picture isn't working for me.
Hmm, and I thought uninhabitable planets were in just to make people start threads with subjects written in all caps and with mistakes...
Yes, applying the full number of games to all scores (without 30 day blocks) seems like a bad idea to me...
*resisting the urge to post something different, sticking to the essential things* YAY!
I don't blame anyone for having several characters and all of them in empires at the moment - the current system encourages it which is a bad stimulus in my opinion. Personally I don't like it that way and decided not to do it myself (just have a look at my "recalced" scores to understand the incentive...), that's all. My second character was made only to test a MV bug, I deleted the scores later.
Personally I never liked the "have several characters and put them all in empires" idea. Nothing against having a second or even third character, but putting them in the same empire sounds like a silly competition to me. I'd prefer if you could put only one of your characters in an empire.
Soon enough you'll smell our gas...

Just a thought, were minors allowed to take part in the contest?

I still say: Pre-Xmas Release + Post-Xmas Patch. I think it has been noted by now...
January 1st 2255 to January 1st 2233 would be eight years exactly. Game rounds down to eight years until December 21st 2233. What's the deal anyway? Scores are divided by the turn number, not the game year.

When read from a distance, some of the comments sound almost funny: "Release it now or I'll lose interest!". I'd say, when the game means anything to you, you will be able to wait a bit. Being yet another impatient gamer myself, I wouldn't mind a release as early as possible, with significant enhancements in updates later on. But keep in mind that providing and supporting an official version will need much more work than offering playable betas. This will most likely result in development time a
I'd say that we shouldn't lose the opportunity to get more features for the same money. If they need time, give them time. Nobody wants rushed products, right?
Farm buildings are for all that is worth to me not worth much: build one.
Shouting won't get you anywhere. And you should have taken CariElf's advice more serious.
It'd be great to be able to set the bonuses (or penalties!) individually for each race. Seconded.
