Starport: Galactic Empires

i ran across this colony yesterday on Deep Freeze i think. notice how the tiles are incorrect. kinda interesting actually. i have a vid too but am too lazy to post it http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s135/starportmilo/mapbug.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s135/starportmilo/mapbug2.jpg http...

i had the same problem on pv2. just one certain col froze me every time i landed.

i'll get right on it

the pink is supposed to be the transparent color. try just deleting the file containing the prof pics the game should then replace the missing file next time you load. (don't kill me if this messes up the game ... ive never tried deleting that one)

good to know it's getting fixed.

ps i would love to get a free coffee mug

nice caps.

on pv2 we got 600+ and i've never had a problem untill a few patches ago

twice actually.

also you should set the container's initial direction to that of the ships heading. and the speed to like 1/3 of the ships then just add drag to the container

thanks. i didn't try it yet but would

movement_add(facing,0.1)

work in the lite addition?

me and my bro got some cool BBQ too. but i won't elaborate here since it's not related.

but i've purchased the full version twice now and my software won't update to pro.

lmao another gamemaker junkie.

one question how did you get the flying to work like in the game? with the drifting and all?

btw here are some fixes it needs.

- mines appear under the ship


other than that great

if the contracting works like that it needs to be fixed.

their usless if they don't home on their target. might as well use flacks. just give them a very small range and 1/10 the damage of a neg

history has shown that dramatic improvements are rare, i'd just like to rebuke this statement to name a few: - research patch - more colony management changes (over several patches) - multi shot solars - ship adjustments - more solar changes (drag) (p.s. toonces you need to increase the drag on gre...

ok so here's the problem. i went to 1v1 starSCREAM on Pv2 and we were "contracted" even though we both weren't listed with the other contracs. also we tried contracting then resigning and removing eachother and nothing worked. we tried a duel but after we went back to being "contracted" that didn't ...

no it could be done with one person. but much funner with 4 seeing who will be the one to cap. i have some others of my single handed attempts (i failed cause i suck) and i could have got lucky.

no the "warp gates" between perma's should be located at andromeda and freesid base system (thus giving them a unique characteristic) and each perma should link to only 2 others effectively creating a travel loop of perma galaxies. this would create a new aspect when having wars. defend the galaxy! ...

i've been keeping my peace but now after the 10th freeze on warp i must say this needs dealing with.

please don't double and triple post unless it's a bump in which case you should wait at least a week or so before bumping if at all

i'm pretty sure the ai is server side given it's nature. now your autopilot would prob be client side.

yea team tactics is not what i'm talking about and about a zillion times as hard to program. just have them run in the same direction as the missile when it is within a certain range of them. Right, they're easy to you because you are in your isc with 16 dex and unlimited nukes. Not everybody have t...

ok so i fought like 20 npc's the otherday all in the same system and only had to rs like 4 time and then only cause of the sethdars among them. i used nukes and some cheap tactics. but i was just thinking it would be a nice change to have some smarter npc competition. right now all they do is attack...

i noticed this on classic and pv2. when i get near them they pop and i take no damage. my latency and packet loss are bot 0 at the time aswell. perhaps their distance calculations are a bit glitchy

lol yea i understand that but only a percentage of the systems would be "volatile" systems. additionally those systems would be indicated as such on the galaxy map. so you'd have to be an idiot to make one of those your home systems. the main idea here is the changing warp paths though.

oh yea ... and i never said i liked this idea but i do.

hey peter read down to my post would ya

my first vid

this is of before and after the solar patch

oh and after the second change

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXSNh9lKlF8

the latest patch sucks ... toonces should repeal it.

love the idea

I like the idea of changing the power to speed thing.

i agree with that and you could also mess with the range settings.

i don't think there is a pollution cap atm. unless it's a very recent change.

and i'd go for making the pop cap 15k to make the zounds bonus easy... i miss zounds

why not just make a galaxy that morphs more consistently warp points would change randomly (like every 5-7 days) also we could incorporate your idea of unstable systems that randomly get deleted and replaced by a new system somewhere else. (50% stable 50% unstable) this would be a kick donkey server
