To be honest I hate what star wars has turned into. Nothing more then a Jedi off. But back on topic, how did you get your ships into fleet formation Multianna?

Glad to see your having fun Thrawn
Peace was an amazing video Multianna, what video capture software do you use?
I've started on the end of a Phase Highway line playing the beta (ie, only one direction in which to go). If a player started on the next gravity well over on that line, I would have to go through him or die. If that player defends his homeworld (with fleet and platforms) while sending out a tiny force to take empty planets/asteroids further along that line(s), he can expand while containing me. Then he can crush me easily. <
Is it just me or does the sound on the videos seem off? The weapon sounds are a little weird?
In beta 1 they are distributed to help instigate action early. Thus, when there are only 4 players, they will all be in the same system. If you increase the number of players they will spread out into the other systems. More placement algorithms and choices will be available in future iterations of the beta. So in the future betas or the final version it will be possible to place the AI or other players in their
When the Galaxy is randomly created are the AI empires randomly placed. As of late I have been playing versus 3 AI empires in a 20 planet 4 Solar System Galaxy, and it seams that they are always in my Solar System. Will they ever be placed in another Solar System, or are all AI Empires spawned in your system? I want the feel of alien forces invading my Solar System, and the tactical choice of when to send my fleets to invade enemy Solar Systems.
I hope for the option to be able to have a solar system with less then 20 planets. Maybe even one with the number of planets equaling the number of players.
Seeing as how the beta has been out for a couple of days, I figured its about time a thread was started on which ship seams to be the favorite of Galactic Czars. For me its the Akkan class cruiser. First and foremost it appears to be a converted space Cruise Liner, and second who doesn't like a colony ship that can go toe-to-toe with other Capital vessels... Oh and the Ion Bolt Cannon and Improved Targeting isn't a bad bonus either.
I am not sure if anyone else is getting this error, but all of a sudden when I am playing it try's to minimize the window and brings up a minidump error? Athlon XP 64 3000+ 1 GB ram Geforce 6800 128 MB 1024 X 768 Medium Textures
I just wanted to say thank you Ironclad for making the space strategy game I have been waiting for since Homeworld. You have put my faith in computer gaming once again.
How much time is left to pre-order to enter into the beta.
Why must they torture us with this wait.
Yarlen, this is just a guess. But the fact you guys haven't put up new screen shots yet mean were close to the beta launch?
I agree with Paradoxnt, that would be a cool little feature. Realism is awesome.
No if you can't beat them, use them and then stab them in the back with a good missile razzing of their homeworld... oops said that one out loud.
Yarlen when you say hard Beta date next week you mean the actual release of the beta? Or just the date of the Beta release?
In the walkthrough of the beta it goes into how Trade Ships are an important part of your interstellar empire. When destroying enemy trade ships how much does it impact their economy? Or when your trade ships are destroyed how much is your own economy affected? Is their other ways to produce currency/credits other then trading? And are their computer controlled pirates as well?
I meant skirmish.
Q: Will it be better then Sword of the Stars A: Yes with %100 more tactical'ness Q: What will I be able to do in the Beta? A: The Beta will allow you to play from start to finish. However the first beta will not include Ironclad's online matchmaking service Ironclad Online. *the first question/answer is more of a joke for people who have played SOTS
And the fact that SOTS sucks doesn't help either... At least theirs homeworld 2 to pass the time.
I know what you mean. Thats why I leave for like a week and hope I'm not late.
I havent been around for a while, question is when the beta is started their will be a few days for some to pre-order to get into the beta correct?
Is the KOL Battleship the only TEC vessel to be equipped with energy weapons? And are the min requirements still the same where your accountant friend can kick ass with her laptop?
My question is it to late to cancel my pre-order? And if not how do I cancel my pre-order?
