TBH the point of the families is, IMO purely from a relational point of veiw.
the spider race is arachnid, not insect, but they have more in common with insects.
The cats have more in common with rodents so they come from that family.
Personally I can't wait until I can mod my own families and their relationships.
I can understand why they did it this way though.

Wow that came out of left field. Was that in response to me or what...didn't realize I'd even suggested such a thing.

oh, I am not saying you were... just... while we are already on the subject...

insectoid or arachnoid... aka, "insect like" or "spider like"...
they are not genetically related to earth insects or spiders...

I understand the point of them... but it isn't all that difficult to use the correct term, you just use whatever family you want and throw noid at the end.

The game is unplayable and crashes like mad and people are complaining about whether an alien race is feline or not

It honestly doesn't crash like mad for me...Once in a 8 hr session while I'm retrofitting an entire universes ships maybe.
What version are you on?

And I say they are more ferrets then cat therefore Rodent(oid)[;)]

I really like this game and, though I have some issues with some things, I'm not complaining really because I'm still playing 1.03. Haven't been back to my house lately to update to the beta patches, probably wait until 1.04 officially comes out. I have seen in the Tech section where there are some crashes and/or errors but I'm quite sure Elliot will fix them.

I still believe they are doing a great job for the amount of manpower they have and, really, to have created this game at all with just the two of them is an achievement of note. I'm enjoying it immensely and plan on continuing to enjoy it for some time.

Keep up the good work guys!

Uhm thats a crash... And its not supposed to happen. No matter what you do.

Anyways im not getting back into a discussion of whether the game is broken or not (already talked enough about it and im not changing my mind)

I just find it funny that this is considered more important by some then actual serious issues. Its like somebody complaining about the color of a car that has dysfunctional brakes and steering.

And no im not saying it should stop ^^ I just wanted to comment on the (in my opinion) silliness of it

who is complaining about the races or asking them to be changed / fixed?

I thought this was a casual humorous discussion about the race description, not a bug report

Maybe i think somebody is actually taking it serious (hard to tell when its only written ; )

But anyways i had to look up where that "you mad" thing comes from and looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooled when i watched the show.

So either way its worth it

I have only a single crash in all my playing time. And that was with the 1st Beta patch IIRC. Not a single issue since. 1 and only 1 crash.

Cats mean nothing to me. Just another alien for me to crush.

cats are pure unadulterated evil just an FYI.

Hmm, my game is both playable and rarely if ever crashes. I can play for hours with no problems at all.

Have you ever considered the fact that it might be your equipment? Those of us discussing the family subject are not having serious issues, hence the reason we can focus on the mundane. The game is not crashing on my machine, and its older equipment running windows XP.

Not saying crashes aren't an issue, just saying that what you are experiencing isn't being experienced by the rest of us, therefor it isn't an issue for us. It still needs to be fixed, but essential information will be needed to pinpoint the problem if its happening to one group but not another.

As for your car analogy, if my brakes and steering weren't functioning, then I'd demand they were fixed or replaced. But in my case DW has no mechanical problems, so let's get the color I want.

so i am "like jam" but not genetically related to it?

You sir are a sticky strawberry flavored fanboy!


I jest, what was the topic again?

LMFAO[:D]

Does anyone know what a hemmer is, apparantly I have something like it..... down below.[:)]

1.0.4.4 (aka 1.04 beta4) is by far the most stable version I have played yet.
I had my first crash just now... after 12 hours straight of gameplay.
And I think saving and loading is faster too.

just make sure to play a small map... the larger ones are too intensive and cause problems.
