New Weapons

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

New Weapons

Post by Simulation01 »

Erik, why are my requests for images of the new weapons going ignored? I mean I'm not even getting a no....I'm getting nothing. A simple...we don't have that ready to demonstrate yet would suffice...or...we just don't want to show you that cause we just don't want to. Anything would be better than not even acknowledging my question when you answered so many in the Latest News thread.

I'm beginning to think my questions aren't welcome, and if they aren't welcome then......

I'm sure he's not ignoring your questions on purpose mate.  I imagine he will post some shots at some point in the near future.

Erik and guys are probably busy. I'm sure they'll post more info/pics in a week or two.

I will not be drawn into a flame war with you Kayoz, but that last image is vile.&nbsp; It speaks of a callous spirit within and I pity you for it.&nbsp; The image by itself can be a powerful witness to the plight of the helpless and inspire others to do more for those that are suffering from disease, starvation, and the ravages of war.&nbsp; However, when you juxtapose that image with your statement below it........it becomes something else.....something that instead seems to revel at that child's suffering. &nbsp;

Stop the personal attacks - you know nothing about me.

Revel in the child's suffering? What drugs are you on? You have a pretty sick mind, if that's what you see.

If the dev's answered every question that they were asked all they would have is a forum full of answers and no game. You only aksed once on the 27th as far as i can see and they aren't answering every question so its prob not worth its own thread to rage about why they aren't answering.

Simulation - it is indeed a disgusting interpretation of that image, but don't forget to use the handy green button if you don't want to walk into the temptation of starting a flame war. Erik I'm sure will intervene at some point and address the image posted.

You got it - his interpretation is pretty sick.

Webbco is correct, Simulation, we've all been there and Kayoz has the biggest collection of green buttons [;)]

And at this point, it seems I should be glad I've already done so. The way you guys are talking there is something I don't want to see posted...and the green button saved me from it. [:)]

I have never been tempted before to ignore someone... we have such a collection of neat people on this forum, I keep hoping that will change some of what I see here. But if this kind of stuff keeps happening, I can foresee using the green button for the first time in my life...
I only wish I knew why someone would want to be so provocative...

You have missed nothing Shark... it is a sorrowful image that no one needed. [:(][:(][:(]

Hey Simulation... if it is any consolation, I have sent Erik one or two PMs that did not get answered a long time ago. They are just busy... I really think that despite the awesome number of games produced, Matrix Games is really kind of a Ma and Pa operation... very small number of people running the show...

I think they are just very busy. I get the impression that Erik spreads his time on different projects by spending a couple of days here, then a couple of days somewhere else and so on. That's why we get these gaps and suddenly he stops answering us. When he returns a few days later from answering questions on another forum, our original questions are already buried.

I think Erik needs a PA! [:D]

There should be more than one forum moderator. The post has been reported, and that should not take more than 24h to handle.

Each forum should have its own moderator (or multiples), and all moderators should receive "reported" posts.

Listen... I am surprised you and a couple of others have not filled out applications for employment...
I love what I do right now, but when I was a youngling, this would have been a cool job... [8D]
