[quote who="Campaigner" reply="16" id="3319632"]But then I watched a 'Let's play' and I sighed and forgot about trying to like game. MENUS! SO.MANY.MENUS!! Can't stand such interfaces. Bad interfaces makes me think of the Domions series and I refuse to play such games. I mean, Age of Wonders doesn't need any menus.[/quote] Comparing Age of Wonders to SoTS2 is unfair to either game. They are vastly different.
[quote who="Werewindlefr" reply="15" id="3319621"]Unfortunately (again), the game suffers greatly from "fake good ideas" and "overdesign". The mission system you need to use to send fleets around is unnecessarily clunky, station management is irritating, and in general the game does a good job at making you waste time for simple actions. This will make multiplayer somewhat tedious, so unless you are very patient and immune to frustration, it doesn't work that well either.[/quote]

And to add to what Stant has said... Besides real life with family an work, we all have other things to we like to do in our free time. Other Video games, TV to watch, books to read, blah blah blah blah There was a point where all of us play this game often and alot (i.e. Diplomacy era) so it natually got more attention and got modded more often. Hence the slowness of any update is simply modding has taken a lower priority to other ways to spend our free time.</

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="147" id="3288203"]Should I try Sword of the Stars or Sword of the Stars II ? I'm a competetive RTS gamer who also like the Age of Wonders series (if a short way to describe me is needed). I've never played Total War (Yeah I know, HOW could I have missed that series). I need some way to give input in combats. Is that possible?[/quote] Well, SoTS will give you great expereience as it

[quote who="boshimi336" reply="7988" id="3287987"]Is there a list of the DS planetary bonuses available? Trying to come up with some planetary bonuses for the B5 mod and am looking for some inspiration. [/quote] I will see if I still have my list around.... If not your best way to get all of them is make a map with at least 1 planet type in it. The sizes only varies the effects. So you can use all 1 size
It is menu intestive in the turn based part of the game, but really combat which is real time, you can really just push 2 butoons and the game blows ships up for you. Its not 100% perfect but it does work well, letting the AI do it for you. As ryat said it plays more like Total War series than Gal2. Just alot more depth/awesomeness/im very much lost at what Im doing. [e digicons]:D[/e]
Soooo...much space...

Make sure your preferred compression program is up to date. We use a newer compression method that requires for example 7zip to be up to date.
The lack of bad ass TEC pictures make this topic sad. Very sad. [e digicons]:hrmph:[/e] Lets perk it up with some traders doing what they do best now a days, blowing things up. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

It doesnt help, that Nacey is working hard. Me and Ryat have families also. Not to mention we are gamers also. With each having a game or two we enjoy. To be honest Ive not touched Sins in months. I dont see myself going back anytime soon. Unless the team gets together at the same time and we hammer out some stuff. Ive gone down the rabbit hole of SoTS ][ for my pew pew fix.
[quote who="rvgr" reply="136" id="3279947"]SotS2 is garbage. Quite a shame really, considering that SotS1 is one of the best if not the best 4x game in recent years.[/quote] Hater gonna hate. [quote who="Vallu751" reply="135" id="3278713"]Nice to hear about the expansion. I just hope they find the time to give the AI more love.[/quote] Just reminder it took 6 years to get the AI to where it is now in SoTS 1.

[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="3" id="3249455"]Shouldnt brad start his own kickstarter to make a proper game of Elemental?[/quote] I take it Fallen Enchatress is not proper enough for you?
#3 point is the biggest flaw I see online when I play on ICO comp stomps. Its even worse with VL. Its always better to have 1 lvl 10 Cap than a bunch of weakers ones. Like Titans their stats improve with levels. Making a bit harder to not insta die vs a non-bomber spam fleet. Also its a bit harder to level up Titans with many Caps around and vice versa. Since they all share XP, till lvl10.
