Starport: Galactic Empires

everyone gets 10k free tokens?

and we all have a big wacky race around some maze planet

I agree about the turrets. There used to be that xp award /message when you killed a turret. Apart from being satisfying to see the little message pop up it also let you know you had killed the turret so you could reshield without leaving wounded turrets that will heal. Now there is no information s...

definately would be nice to have combat kills counted separately from sleeper kills

12 hardware slots for all war ships would be so much better. 8 nukes cant kill anything, 16 nukes is o/p.

I prefer the IWD games over BG. Both games have great level design. The main difference is that the IWD games allow you to create your own party. Where BG you have to recruit the oddball characters the game offers you. Also in BG its annoying because if your main character dies its game over (and he...

I came up with an idea to fix the overpower issue with some mods...make a limit to how many of any one mod(s) that you can have at once. yes, this or the Starwynd idea both sounds like improvments. Also I propose scanners have their own slots which are not inter-changeable with other mods. There ca...

greetings, prince of the bows that rain

10 shot solars are boring as you cant really dodge between them, you just have to walk right through the wall of fire coming at you. It just becomes about credits, or having enough players pile into the colony. Maximum solar should be triple-shot, this would be tricky enough to dodge but do-able. Al...

8 is a bad number, no central shot

huh?? Do you mean the landing zone would be different on every planet??

Atleast artifact hunting and trading would become a more on-going part of the game, so some players might specialise in selling them, but artis should last atleast 2 months or it would be too annoying.

building is not hard, so no to reducing resource req. having a shipyard could be neat, a bit o/p having spare ships all over the place though, so only 1 ship per yard and something like 100 spice per tick upkeep. Also if you want to add a ship there you have to add the ship youre flying and then you...

I would say Anti grav bomb should knock the enemy back like half way across the system, last time I check it just seems to knock a ship back something like 5 ship lenghts, which is quite feeble, especially as its not easy scoring a hit with it. edit: sry bladerunner is me was checking my other forum...

You might have a point about xp being too easy to generate from colonies, the old style 'build xp' you want to bring back is good as you have to make a choice between producing xp or weaps or credits etc that makes it interesting. Ive always found 'building xp' a weird concept though, setting your c...

go into the program folder and try launching with the different exe files; GEClient, Launcher, and NewLauncher

sounds like a good idea, but Id say make it so you can have up to three solar shots, and damage multiplier up to 1.5x or 2x

I hear what youre saying, but I think 8 nukes is not enough seeing as it cant kill other 16k ships, upgrade to 12 nukes would be optimal and not overpowered.

same Im having problems, havent been able to log on to Golden Age since last night

Ever since IG and CEO got 16 missile bays the ISC and Seth have been horribly inferior. So... upgrade them to 12 hardware slots each (and probably upgrade battleship too). 8 slots is no fun anyway, you cant kill 16k shields with 8 nukes, even if they all hit the enemy will limp away with 1000 or so ...

remember combat deaths can be numerous just like invasion death, i.e. large battles where players will kill and be killed, or fighting off mulitple players who are invading your planet etc, etc, . So the xp loss shouldnt be TOO different, Id like to see 200k cap for invasion death (increased from 10...

I get this with defences sometimes but not with nukes, how fast are you mashing that nuke key?

fusion still has some use on no-mod servers, I like the weapon youre suggesting though, could make it some kind of big plasma ball which has good range and can bounce of walls. Still though, in this age of multi shot solars the anicient skill of killing things with primary weapons is pretty redundan...

yes please bring back the notification, its nice to know you destroyed your target. If its going to stay zero xp for lazer kill it could just say "You have destroyed a lazer cannon"

tweak it so prices start at $10 and gradually work their way to $30 instead of the crazy extremes we have right now.

force players within a certain xp/follower threshold to sleep on their cols and no longer allow them to sleep in ports my simplistic solution. Now thats an interesting idea, although unrealistic that a + rep captain couldnt stay in a port. Id say let them stay in ports, BUT make it so you could fin...

25% xp loss for dying was too harsh, as fighter/invaders plummet down the rankings which become dominated by builders and inactives as deuce said. HOwever, the 100k cap is too low, infact there shouldnt be a cap at all, otherwise someone with 100mill xp is untouchable and will NEVER drop down teh ra...

This idea could potentially be fun, with a small starting galaxy the early days could be quite action packed, then new systems appearing would keep things from stagnating, the new systems should branch out equally in every direction, and sometimes a new starbase should appear. Also biodomes should c...

ah I didnt realise you made a thread on it before, and yes Prometheus your pic is how I imagine it being

did you delete the SGE folder in prog files after doing the unistall?

done a virus scan?

tried launching game with firewalls turned off?

When you're in a corp you have no record of your personal following and cant see what progress your own colony growth is making and how your personal following compares to other people. I think it would be nice if we were given our personnal following in addition to the actual following figure when ...
