Starport: Galactic Empires

thats all i ever freaking post is late game cash sinks. check out these awesome threads that do it without punishing anyone or giving anyone TOO ridiculous an advantage. http://www.starportgame.com/sgeforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14568&p=204720#p204720 http://www.starportgame.com/sgeforum/viewtopic.php...

did someone say late game cash sinks?

its not over powered, or under powered, its perfectly balanced. the only real problem with the idea is the lasers / mines would be randomly placed along the orbit rather than perfectly machine spaced to the perfect density, and that can be fixed should toonces so desire.

seeing how alot of us old schooler's transferred over from the bbs tradewars, was thinking maybe a few of u guys had some favorite BBS games to suggest... mortesh (ROFL i know) and i have been playing civony (on server 1, 4, and 5 all in the state Lower Lorraine) and its ridiculously easy to make th...

run it as administrator and open the appropriate ports in your firewall.

" Akito plan sounds good, but is easily exploitable by players who want to end most of the perma, such as douchebags. All that needs to be done is to feed off token sales from new permas, and then flood tourney points into old permas, thereby ending them. " SHHHH ! sure thats a possibility, but its ...

how about this. set up a "perma end" fund and a "keep perma" fund on one permaverse at a time periodically. if the users in that perma want it to end, then they can donate tokens to the appropriate fund. if the users do not wish the perma to end, they can donate tokens to the opposite one. if either...

just go into ur starport folder and find the current playlist. then convert your existing music into that file format and rename/replace the default starport music files. make sure to keep your old ones, because when you break the game (ie a patch comes out specifically to stop you from doing this) ...

they should make shields a tradeable resource held in cargo holds! all ports would both buy and sell shields, depending on the amount they currently had in stock (supply and demand) in largely the way other resources work. this would add drastically to wartime strategy, open new employment oppurtuni...

1, 2, 3 all good stuff! 4. what about a standard duration rebang at blitz speed? haha! 5. termporarily topping the monthly charts in a perma isnt a big deal. 5. (again?) you can already do all of that through player interaction, so putting a system like that in place would actually be a massive nerf...

i like resource nebulae, would they slowly recharge the amount of available resources in them, or run out over time and respawn randomly in a different system? flight through any kind of nebulae should be slow like a gas giant (for weapons fire as well). some sort of spatial distortions should disru...

i still think they should be able to die and respawn like aliens, and like aliens, have two kinds. making them destroyable would allow players to clear high traffic areas of them and remove this "i cant autopilot anymore" problem without complex recoding of the autopilot system (which effects npcs a...

it sounds like a reasonable trade off, but how would you regulate it? would the existing multi accounting detection systems be sufficient to stop this from being abused?

as awesome as the tabbed chat bar is, i never found the chat as unmanageable as the news page. especially if you haven't played in a month and you have a few thousand planets spamming you with disasters. WHY NOT PUT "TABS" IN THE NEWS PAGE AS WELL! it should have these categories "shot down by": pla...

put in a "quest chain" that allows players inside the perma to end it. any players wanting to end the perma would need to accomplish a complicated series of increasingly difficult challenges whilst any players wanting to keep the perma going attempted to stop them. ideally it would take long enough ...

the "politicians" thought up "the solutions" before there was ever even a problem. im not trying to show any facts as untrue. i did however succesfully show the ridiculous unreliability of all the scientists and studies which were used to support an untrue theory as if it were a fact. its not a bad ...

actually terrorism was redefined shortly after 9-11 to include "the use, threatened use, or planned use of force or violence". force OR violence. meaning they are two different things. two of the deffinitions for force are "a group" and "a logical argument". this means that in the united states at t...

yes, but one can only bump the "holdings merged with galaxy map" thread so many times.

they should replace the biodome screen (that shows buildings completed) with the layout image and add a "buildings list" as text.

yes all of the above... but ego more so than anything else. try flying a 0 dex flower vs a 16 dex igs, the difference is pretty radical.

you should just learn leet speak and do that number for letter SH!T.

that post was epic win condensed into a energon-esque cube!

dry land is not a myth... i have seen it!!

TOONCES! drone ships to transport resources are cool as heck, but there is some potentially simpler stuff you can do right now to alleviate alot of these problems. also, its not just the refinery, but the entirety of the user interface that is burdened by these redundant "extra clicks". "pick up" /...

lets pretend for a second that i work for playtechtonics and recieve a token bonus for each player i recruit. what sort of thing would i have to say about starport? would it be different from my current rhetoric about how god awful patches and empty permas have made it damn near unplayable? as an em...

oh my bad, i thought the ONLY reason people had to deny evolution was clinging to out dated dogma. could the anti-evolution guys fill me in on any other reasons they might have?

any of you guys ever consider that an all knowing and all powerful god can use math and sciences like evolution to accomplish his purposes just as easily, if not more so, than mystical powers? take a cigarrette lighter back in time a few hundred years and its magic, so imho it doesn't violate any re...

obama is CFR scum, why would he legalize? ron paul would have removed the federal restrictions and let the states decide what to do. u know, rather than having it "legal" in some states and still getting blind grannies raided by feds and shot in the face needlessly.

negative rep players CAN see how much money is in there, right before they steal all of it. if a port doesn't have any money, u have to BUY from it to fill it back up. try spamming cmines on the port and/or lasers in the surrounding areas and blaming it on whoever lives there. this will assuredly br...
