Starport: Galactic Empires

And just what the hell happened to the word censor that it isn't catching half this stuff? Just sayin'... Anyways, my thought is racial slurs are worse due to implying inferiority or subhuman status based on race (at least historically). Calling someone fat is simply mean, but not degrading to the s...

Shaiya is what I've been playing lately. It's a World Of Warcraft knockoff, but it's free with the ability to purchase items, same as Starport. It's worth a look.

That's news to me. I thought it was one of these "real-time" filters that permanently replaces the questionable word with something else when you post. And yes, I think it'd be a good idea to have the option, although I'm not sure which way the poll goes...is that a "yes, I don't want the censor on ...

You can play on the same computer as long as it's two different people. The rule is one character per person on a galaxy. The banning system looks at things like keyboard strokes, mouse movements, and play style, to generate a "fingerprint" that is unique to that player. If the same fingerprint is ...

Give the artists something more to do and make the game look better, at least its something.

Artists? What artists? There are no artists, only Zuul...err, Toonces.

Evolution is proven beyond doubt. Beyond doubt ? First post and you already took the discussion straight from the scientific method into faith...I suggest you rephrase it to "beyond a reasonable doubt" or "has conclusive evidence" and you might not get shredded. Every 6th grader knows nothing can b...

You'll have to ask one of the perma guys, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible to stabilize a planet with bio3 in the long-term. On rebangs you can set it up to last through the end of the bang, at least.

It seems we have a different definition of the words "class" and "class system". I consider a class to be 'a group having common qualities' and class system being a system based upon classes and distinguishing people upon what class they belong (as you might realise, I got the first definition out ...

did you even read what I wrote? I'm arguing that considering women and slaves and foreigners (yes foreigners) as inferior and therefore not allowing them to vote is a class system. The conclusion if this makes it a pure democracy, 'normal' democracy or aristocracy is not mine but yours, I used your...

pure democracy in Athens? Not allowing women and slaves to vote is pure? :roll: Pure democracy is direct voting on state laws and issues by the voting populace. A republic has the voters elect officials, who then create the laws. Neither has anything to do with who is doing the voting, provided it'...

Don't be fooled by the actual size of the planet onscreen. Gas giants and tinys vary in size, so go by the actual planet image. You should be able to find some empty ones farther away from Sol and the bases, although you'll have to go a lot farther on a perma. Good luck getting started, and don't be...

In the "The US isn't actually a democracy..."-department I can add: "In God We Trust". :lol: No, we're a representative republic. Pure democracy has been tried and has failed ever since ancient Athens, so we want none of it. :mrgreen: KG pure democracy in Athens? Not allowing women and slaves to vo...

Everything's gray. Is this an absolute statement that nothing is absolute? :lol: Separaton of state and chruch FTW. Seriously.

Sorry man, I think you've got me on this one, I'm not good with phones. :( I searched around a little bit, and found someone having the same problem with a Nokia 3650, though: http://www.gsmhacks.com/forums/nokia/16212-dead-3650-a.html The solutions that were proposed to him were to remove the batte...

Who is QuackSwindler? And actually, many of the Founding Fathers were Deist, although some were Christian. Most of the main points in the post still stand under that philosophy, though. everything in the world is a gray area, so why are we wasting our time interpreting what is right or wrong? and wh...

Dude, if Toonces implements this, I'm going to be very glad I'm not you.

KG

it'd be more efficient if the solar stayed automated and the person who was meant to be in control of the solar was actually flying around the planet shooting people even more. just my opinion. Only problem is that the splash damage patches have changed that to a fast track to Sol. :( It be nice to...

I added the tax on tokens because it sounded like something toonces would do.

Touche.

I thought Major.Arse Jr. wasn't old enough to log on yet...

Sorry, dude, but considering your post count and that I've never met you, I'm not going to an unknown site and downloading and installing unknown software.

I like it, other than the tax on tokens, since those were paid for in real cash at some point.

Hybrid sucks. Go electric + hydrogen. Have you looked into how much electricity is needed to get even a test tube full of hydrogen? It's not particularly efficient. Electrics are starting to have a lot of potential though...battery tech is almost there. KG Almost, but not quite. In Scotland, well, ...

Hmm, it would add depth to both defense and invading...might be tough to implement a good system for manning the solar though.
