Starport: Galactic Empires

The people complaining about the format of the champs don't really seem to get it, in KUKA's opinion. The winner was decided in advance? Really? In 2011 KUKA's pretty sure Chico had decided he would be winner, and that D-Tox decided he'd try to win this year too. There are others who had gold ambiti...

KUKA can't imagine playing PAX and NOT being drunk... it's the only thing that makes it bearable on any level

[quote="WeGotDeathStar"]I think next year Toonces should consider revamping the champs by preventing players from trading planets with each other. A level playing field with no advantage from friends would be interesting and would prove who is the better player and prevent the argument as to who had...

if you have two sides whose players commit and make a plan before the champs, the side with the most people will win. This year it was only partially like that as chico's crew had a fairly consistent plan and activity but less people whereas we had more people, no plan from the start other then to ...

Damn it's awesome to see someone still knows how to be a total tard in the forums. Tip of the hat to u rivera - epic retardation.

Congrats the the two champs this year: D-Tox in PK and Papa.John in PAX. Both are incredibly deserving and it's nice to see the champs continue to go to established, deserving players. KUKA only hopes more people show up next yeat to try to stake a claim... the champs are the most epic 3 weeks starp...

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" This. Getting rid of the xp actually makes the champs have one less exploit. You used to get a ton of xp by just maki...

wow. yeah, i think i do remember huge login numbers a really long time ago. then i remember 7k for a while, i think. and now it's what... 2k-ish per server? KUKA never remembers such things, and KUKA's been around since close to the begining. A couple of hundred total across all servers at any one ...

Toonces I have a question, for those who are hoping to win the champs this year. If they already won a champ game before, how will you give them the title here? :P Cart before horse = true. Actually, KUKA believes he's the only one to have won back-to-back golds in champs (in Pax). Despite only hav...

Enjoy all whether playing as a team (this is a co-op game) or solo and just having fun and being part of the experience.

Honestly...

You could always just use "Gay.Superhero"... everyone will know you mean "Green.Lantern"

Joels idea's are awesome, but they take effort. You don't need a budget for those sites or a-lot of time, plus if 30% of starport players help advertise to these forums, yahoo answers etc will build the hype. Want to bet there would be a few programmers in the community willing to develop "pro bono...

Write a mini starport related building game like farmville and get it put on fb, then u can advertise in game, linking u into this game. On a similar vein, u could get a game put up onto xboxlive in the indi sections - make money and a lead into this game. Its a competitive market, advertising piec...

Actually KUKA likes this idea. But to Mel's point, perhaps open the games up to (A) cups, (B) 10 or more of the corresponding medals, (C) someone who is in the corresponding total (not monthly) ranking on any perma 3-months-old or older. Perhaps very small maps too? And another point - there aren't ...

good job making that picture!!! TY spent some time on it wanted it to look all nice. lol And if you notice ONG maybe the IGS has 16 holds but its stats are all shitier besides turning, it doesn't seem right. Fuel consumption too. If you think about the cash you would pay for the extra fuel, it doen...

KUKA has always wished he could see defense tonnage in listings per planet. It's annoying to own 100 planets, see that your defenses pwned someone 10 times, and not know which planets had been attacked or how much damage had been done without visiting all 100 personally. Surely they could report it?

How about an ion tower allow you to place a double-dome?

To what effect?

i.e. will this affect whether you can buy Sedthars, or nukes, or what?

Hahahahaha....

Good to see ya, trillzie

KUKA doesn't play as KUKA... tru nuf. But KUKA lurks in other incarnations...

And even if KUKA wasn't playing at all, he logged enough time to know when a change is or isn't the end of the world, and this sure isn't. A lot of crying over spilt milk. In 6 months this will be forgotten.

<crankyKUKA> Whiny byatches should quit or play PAX. If somehow something like this change - which affects everyone equally - somehow imbalances the game, Toonces will do something about it. This isn't the first time the amount of ore per shot has changed, nor is it necessarily the last. Find more i...

This is at best a "nice to have". Unless Toonces can do this in 15 minutes of coding withut a risk of creating problems, there are way more interesting things he could be implementing...

Disagree. Doming or defending artis is a strategy used precisely to waist other peoples' fuel, to save an arti for a corpie, or so you can sit and wait and pwn arti hunters. It's "annoying" to accidentally go through bh's, to have to build in heavily asteroided systems, or to have to go 7 hops for h...

I hate playing against people who token on rebangs... just makes it really hard and that much more demanding. in fact, if i see someone token, i just quit right then and there Now this is a great reason to keep playing ..... Nothing better than too outclass and outplay someone who believes using To...

Actually KUKA likes the spirit of the change, but the result looks a bit like someone puked cartoons on top of his ship. Don't rip the change though, guys, even if there are "higher priorities". In building software, sometimes you have to do the small fun changes that are easyish to code and not jus...

simple fix: implement cleaning button in holdings menu. cleaning pollution costs 1mil + 10wf per hop from currrent loc. fuel still spent, cols can still die, monotony of cleaning reduced greatly. win, win, win. forgot to mention, this totally misses mesh's point, since remotely cleaning clusters of...

But there would have to be a way for colonies to die off from inactivity or people leaving servers - something auto-cleaning doesn't do. As such it's a nice proposal but needs that last part for it to have a chance. Just make a new rule, UN colonies die off after 60 days, and the same with colonies...

lol - Nothing in software development takes 15 minutes unless you're planning on spending an hour to fix it later

Kind of silly. If you're truly a newb then changing those stats isn't going to make that big of a difference. You're going to need some time to learn the game before the difference between 5 DEX and 10 DEX will make a meaningful difference in how well you fare. No real newb would pwn "if only their ...
