I see no mention of any of the bugs I reported for v0.951 https://forums.joeuser.com/430224/page/4/#3217396 was any of them addressed? Also, suggestions still all apply.

[quote] if they wouldn't buy it, why pirate it?[/quote] 1. because there is no demo? 2. they already bought it but the DRM is preventing them from playing? 3. because the game lasts 6 hours and they have a limited monthly budget for gaming (60$ per day for entertainment?) but the argument you were countering is not used to refer to the above three cases... it refers to the simple case of people willing to play a game for "free" but not willing to pay for t

speaking of fauly CDs... a huge portion of my legit disks don't work anymore due to read errors. I have to resort to downloading a copy (often the game is no longer for sale) and then I install using my legit key. However, where CD emulation doesn't work or simply the DRM is incompatible with newer versions of windows, I have to use a non legit key and crack... There are tons of games whose DRM simply doesn't work with windows 7 64bit. Do keep in mind that this issue an issue

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="142" id="2590987"]In my opinion, children should be allowed to be children and play with childish things. The loss of innocence happens to everyone, and it's a sad moment in everyones lives; we shouldn't be in a hurry to speed that up.[/quote] What is sad is that our society idolizes being a child so much that growing up and assuming responsibilities like a mature adult is frowned upon, thus people are encouraged to stay children forever... and they do

In the time period these people are in technologically their is NO private sector except for merchants the lords provided all housing in cities to citizens.[/quote] what time period is that? medieval england? we had rome 2000 years actually and who is to say that they weren't a "crystal spires and togas" before the calamity that made the world inhospitable? For all we know the game is in the future after magic "c

the time limit bothers me... but what irks me the most is that they are misrepresenting what a server is and how it works... they are NOT "storing a my copy" on their server for 2 years. Their fileserver has 1 and only 1 copy of the file (although backups probably exist elsewhere) which they allow me to download, when I download I do not "consume" it, it is creating a new copy on my machine. They are spinning it as if they are physically storing a copy for me, in order to convince people who

you are still building "housing districts" instead of leaving that to the private sector.

ZehDon, so what? Australia has a legal body which bans games, they made the official decision that fallout 3 with morphine in it is illegal to sell there (like the have for other games)... that the authors caved in and modified their work worldwide to fit that form of censorship doesn't mean that the censorship doesn't exist. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w

[quote]- Can mass upgrade designs from Designs Screen - multi-select designs and click Upgrade button[/quote] This is a big one :P actually all the fixes are awesome. Very rapid response, very impressive fix list.

what irks me the most is that they lie about what it is that they are doing, and assume everyone to be completely ignorant of computers and technology.

the government shouldn't build any housing... thats what the private sector is for.

[quote]Probably my biggest issues right now are with the UI and fleet management; both feel a bit cumbersome and need to be streamlined and/or made more user-friendly. Also: While this is a obviously more a personal preference, I really don't like the soundtrack; it grates on my ears something awful. [/quote] heh, I totally agree with you there, the soundtrack is awful.

Anyone else find "extended download service" for online purchased games to be extremely offensive? especially the way it is advertised and spun? examples: http://www.digitalriver.com/addons/eds/ gee thank you for keeping a "backup" of my download on your server. I am totally clueless to how the internet, servers, and computer work so I believe that...

if the developer isn't willing to sell it to you, there is no harm in you copying it. there is one issue... what about games that are outlawed in your country... for example, fallout3 has been outlawed in communist totalitarian countries such as australia (Among many other games banned there). If you are an aussie and you want it you need to pirate it; there is no loss sale because their congress believes games are evil and the game is banned for sale anyways.

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="50" id="2581498"]taltamir- I believe that the rebellion issue you see due to taxes is actually enemy covert ops causing rebellion and not the taxAI randomly screwing with the rate, however, I am not 100% certain of this, it is something I have gleened from reading around about the issue.[/quote] Well, I have some massive anti spy things in place, as well as highly trained maxed out spies. the rebellion occurs due to "approval" being

[quote]that wouldn't add that much to the game imo.[/quote] And will likely offend a whole lot of people.

every heard the term "playing alone together"? studies show most people on mmo's aren't as social as you might think. http://www.parc.com/publication/1581/alone-together-exploring-the-social-dynamics-of-massively-multiplayer-online-games.html

also most of the stuff says "this is a placeholder text"... most of the game doesn't exist yet. It is less of a beta and more of an alpha

well, as small a sample as it is, I still think its telling. People often suck, random faceless strangers who don't know you most definitely suck, playing in the internet with them is masochism. The only ones I could ever stomach playing with are close friends.

cousins doesn't automatically mean genetic defects... what it DOES mean is the expression of recessive genes in a very high amount. Recessive genes that code for a defect are very very hard to eliminate from the genepool because they have no harmful side effect as long as you are merely a carrier AND as long as the total occurance within a population is low (aka, your chances of meeting another carrier is low). This can be an ideal way to encourage recessive genes. More defects, but a

very nice ideas imbiginjapan... I like it and approve. :P

not necessarily. Those are extremely rare. And you could just say that sovs don't have such genetic defects. besides which, even if you include a 1 in hundreds of thousands chance of getting such conditions, you don't mitigate the sheer benefit of massive reproduction given by sions being superhuman.
