oh man thats sad, always liked reading his posts

if i recall correctly, no docking bays = no docking.

isn't that long range scanners' range?

i like focusing on research so either quameno (although i consider playing as them 'cheap'), kiadians or the zenox.

<t> 1. build lots of cheap escorts and leave them on auto (that works very well for legends). in shadows pirates got totally reworked and operate quite like empires, so destroying their bases works even better (unlike legends if i recall correctly)<br/>
2. set your policies right and bait potential ...

Hi

How will matrix store know how many dw expansions do i own? I mean, all i got was email with serials and download links...

i think they're part of the original distant worlds storyline and you can find them amongst ancient derelict ships that float around the galaxy(they're pretty rare though)

<t> hi there<br/>
<br/>
since universe is not out yet and full list of features is not known, it's quite hard to judge. In my opinion it looks like a worthy buy, mainly because i expect great things from mods, but my decision whether to buy or not hasn't been made yet.<br/>

ability to ...

base game is not that good, it's been much improved upon with the expansions. in my opinion there is no point (well, financial maybe) getting anything less than legends, although shadows is worth every penny.

If I was faced with the same question of what would happen in a given situation I would save the game

i think that if you colonize a planet you'll just make another independent one.

i doubt it will come out on the 14th, a. these forums are way too silent and b. no mention of pandora in the latest matrix newsletter. i just hope it's not vapourware and will come out eventually....

so, any news? how's it all coming together? i have to admit, i'm waiting for this game quite anxiously:)

it is a bonus, your mistake was to build economy around it.

it's better to keep them separate. you have to deploy your resupply ship on gas giant and and wait a little until it fills with fuel, so no point keeping it in fleet.

did the same with a pirate resupply ship yesterday, latest version of the game and 99.9% certain that no pirate facilities were on the planet.

i know next to nothing about mdp, but i know that archduke ferdinand, heir to the austro-hungarian throne was quite a major noble[:'(]

<t> wow your troll fu is quite strong.<br/>

yes, i googled exactly those things you said I did. in first instance, to confirm something i remember, funnily enough, duh, about overpowered peasants, and the second one you misunderstood or maybe i wasn't very clear as english is not my first ...

<r> to be perfectly honest i do remember vaguely some problems with overpowered peasants, i even googled something <URL url="http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?74065-Overpowered-peasants-and-the-Spear-attribute"><LINK_TEXT text="http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthrea ... -attribute">http ...

<t> all your stations keep enough resources to upgrade. that is, when first you construct a station, constructor ship leaves enough resources to refit it to newer model. i assume that your mining station upgraded so freighters needed to restock the station. why chromium? probably you use it for ...
