Major Stress you have got to be kidding me! I just always assumed that you guys were programmers or somehow connected to the IT/Game/Art industry. That makes what you have accomplished even more amazing. How much help have Yarlen and his crew provided? If you get stuck can they point you in the right direction? And I've never thought I should feel apologetic for being a cheerleader. And I do find the uniform titillating. backs

Got it for half price from Amazon. Laughing a lot when playing. I give it an A for fun. Not sure I'll be playing it a year from now but I hear they are going to introduce some DLC that could give it some legs. And yes the interface could use a little work. I've named my top soldiers after the X-Files and Starcraft pros. iNcontroL was my first heavy. GLHF :)

myfist0 thanks for the work, time and imagination you have put into this mod. I've said to everyone who will listen that this is the most wonderful Sins mod in existence. One of my favorite ways to play it is to save often and just wander around watching the game play. The models are great and it is so easy to get lost in it all... So thank you.

Go to youtube and search for thermal paste application. Several good ones show how the paste spreads based on the initial application. It's enlightening. For me the thermal paste was the "scariest" part of my first build. You really don't know how good a job you did until you run it for a while. Now that you are the Herald of Galactus fear no mortal!

I like playing Trinity to "feel" the differences. It's like watching Shatner for the feeling of nostalgia. nos·tal·gi·a (n -st l j , n -). n. 1. A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past. Which is also why I like Sacrifice of Angels 2 so much. And I LOVE games that go on for days across

Without a doubt the best Star Trek mod is: (drum roll please) Sacrifice of Angels 2. The Borg will eventually destroy you if you let them tech/macro up. This is an awesome mod and I love it when I am mired in a balanced game that lasts for days across multiple star systems. Don't forget to make multiple saves so that you can hop around and enjoy the modeling work while your fleets are devastated. It's the waiting that is har

I pre-purchased the game and was very disappointed with it when it launched; mostly because it kept crashing. But still, I waited and hoped, and waited some more. I feel bad for the people who worked late nights and subsisted on pizza and jolt for weeks on end to get this even this far. And for everyone else who put their trust in the "suits" who pushed for it's release before it was ready. RIP Legends of Pegasus </p

First, I'm staying up till 5 am to play Rebellion. Which makes me grumpy the next day until I can sit down to play again until 5 am. Second, I really think just publishing art work we can print and wrap around a suitable box will solve the problem. What format does Kinkos or some other national/international player work with? I remember years ago someone in our company taking Pagemaker files on a diskette (yes that long ago) to Kinkos and the printed full size pr

This is just the first step. Next another awesome team of geeks (or nerds) will improve the storage density even further and produce a practical laser based reading system. Then they will move onto holographic storage in cubes of the material capable of storing all the information ever produced by human kind in a 4 by 4 inch cube. This will of course be perfect for the early quantum computing devices that become self aware as they seek to duplicate themselves and rule the un

It's a nice offer but unless the product is about to be abandoned I don't think they will release the code to the community. Maybe they could hire you to do an analysis of the feasibility. That would require ironclad confidentiallity and non-compete contracts.

It would not take long for such a system to get really good. It could play 24/7 against a copy of itself at greatly accelerated game speeds. Maybe it could play millions of games a day. Brute force techniques do work. It would eventually be able to throw perfectly executed build orders at you. As perfectly micro-ed ships danced around you.

I like every version of Sins. Vanilla and all. But once I played SOA 2 it was like nothing I ever experienced before. The Borg do not take "NO" for an answer.

The game has been released. I downloaded and started. It has crashed during the first campaign. And they have already posted their first patch. They should have waited 4 more days for release I think. The graphics look nice so far. Fought a tutorial battle. I will have to get some more experience before I say anything else.

Don't anybody move... I'm going to make popcorn and read this thread again... That was an awesome read. So far I like Gal Civ 2 better than Endless Space. Though the interface in Endless Space is really pretty. Maybe it's like when you're little and you eat ice cream for the first time. Thereafter that's what ice cream tastes like and nothing else ever quite measures up. [e digicons]:beer:[/

This irks me a bit. I'm happy Stardock is making more money by going digital but... as a collector I am a little annoyed. Perhaps the unsold copies will go onsale internationally. (I hope that big "PG" thing isn't actually on the box cover.) I ordered the collectors edition but I would like to sit this box next to it in the case. Anybody know how to get a copy from Australia? Maybe Nat from Community Channel will help me. Hmmm...
