Starport: Galactic Empires

ion towers should drop the "hide you in space" crap and scramble the radar while on the surface instead. you would still be able to leave an hour before the sol or lasers finally made it to where u landed, but at least it would have the illusion of being a dangerous planet type. also broadband scann...

as long as you fix the screen shake god mode glitch first im down for some windowed action. hooray to no more crashes from alt tab!

Sorry for the delay with the patch. In the meantime, whenever you do attempt to log in, make sure you close the entire program to desktop and relaunch each time you try to log in. if you do not do this and immediately log back in from the name/pass screen your packet loss will rise all the way to 1...

dont cry out for nerfs on the cmine! i think normal mines should "cloak" on the system radar unless u have neutrino scanners and "cloak" up close unless u have battle scanners. default scanners would be able to detect the weight in the system if u were paranoid enough to press alt S. while u got me ...

this idea is called corbomite.

on p1 i get kicked to space when going to merchant docks, but only after i have alt tabbed a few times. i think its related to the game crashing alt tab glitch.

laser walls used to be severely over powered when they were first implemented, 20 nerfs on lasers later though and you can now autopilot right through them like they aren't there. people used to deploy npc killing lasers in the systems where they spawned and around black holes (where they would get ...

milo are you saying that environment gives you research discoveries? i was under the impression that environment ONLY lowered pollution. also, i SERIOUSLY doubt toonces and the ptt gang would go to all the trouble of modifying the research formulas solely for blitz (other than the RATE, which is lik...

when u buy drinks it implies that "government and settings can influence research" - so that would be why we think it is not entirely random. we could do a blitzkrieg or two and figure this out for sure, would help to get an assload of people to log in to hand us their starting cash for rushing dome...

i run windows vista on my toshiba laptop and constantly get "starport.exe has stopped working" messages and then another message at the bottom right pops up and says "display driver has recovered from a serious error". when i come back i usually have 70 or so packet loss and have to wait for 30 minu...

an "island planet" sounds and would look too similar to oceans. a "jungle planet" sounds and would look too similar to green houses. as for that comment about "america planets would always be democracy" what america are you living in dude? this is an anarcho-fascist country. a fascist system has law...

as opposed to taking a screen shot of the news and saving it to a folder on your hardrive like we do now. i like it.

ack tell me about it. it took me a week to get all the computers here online, then another week to go back and turn on printer sharing.

because the whole hidden menu thing. every time i try to train someone the first barrier to overcome is the "i dont see any menus on the top" thing. seems like people would use enough programs to know that the top left corner is where that BBQ is, but noooo. i think they need to change the /give com...

i've suggested cloaked mines before, but u are wrong on detection methods. to be balanced u should be able to see them no matter what scanners you currently have, if not you are just implementing a griefn tool. tactical and battle scanners would show them up close when u got into visual range (leavi...

madace, did u submit the entirety of the plan, down to the most insignificant nuance in triplicate via normal mail to PTT's physical address in RL? lmao! i've manually explained the rebanging arms leading to permanent clusters part of "the plan" to at least a dozen players myself and they were all b...

so wait, the nukes just winking out of existence is intended? i thought i was experience some sort of bug or lag issue! they need to have an explosion animation on radar so i can tell wtf became of them without needing to be in visual range for confirmation. along these lines, i also think the sound...

they used to do this at their spawn point, making it easy to identify and then farm but loads of npc kills.

but typing /cap 3 times while next to a hostile dome with high solar REALLY IS the way to invade planets.

All in all though, SGE has it's own unique flavor and a good balance going for it, and there are other things that prolly should go in / be fixed before stuff like this i disagree... i think they should have implemented genesis torpedos and death orbs to solve the land locking problems on the origi...

Yeah, the whole time I was reading this I kept checking the dates on every post. "didn't I read this before" "I swear I read this before" "What month is it" "It's still 2008 right?" "What the hell, im having a severe case of deja vu" i submitted one about 3 years ago that was actually balanced. pod...

wow now that is condensed awesome. i formed a negative opinion of this guy too soon apparently. non sarcastically support this idea 100 percent. set a new chat function /notes (/n) to send BBQ u type into the notes window. if you leave it as normal radio sends things to notes tab while looking at it...

what about that mystical integrated galaxy map/holdings screen revamp that was "in the works" last year when i "quit" ? any new news regarding that?

hello i am a dumb A55 newb and i think experience actually matters in a perma! it really bothers me that other people played this game for 3 years and own more planets, have more money, and are just generally more powerful than me in every way. i think the best thing to do is make it so that if you...

one of the 15 million other times this was suggested can be seen here http://starportgame.com/sgeforum/viewtopic.php?t=8541 we started suggesting this back when p1 was still corp limit of 5. the idea was that if you put it in admirals club for 5k tokes it saves time but not fuel. even that wasn't a ...

frontline your one of the biggest flammers out there.. so you'de only be cutting your own grass fool :roll: QFT really though, why not implement it? everyone that had an opinion worth reading quit the game and forums years ago. and its not like toonces needs to be spending that time fixing the bugs...

uninstalling /reinstalling is the very first thing you are supposed to do before reporting anything to engineering....

btw, doesn't fix mine. although i CAN finally see the pirate base in p1.

i can alt tab just fine every time... for me the crazy errors dont kick in until i "update". as in, touch a dome, port, planet, etc. then i will be stuck to my biodome flying in a circle (i dont move but ship spins and thrust directions are way wrong) also when this happens sometimes all the turrets...

If you're lagging graphically (IE it takes you longer to update your screen) its also taking you longer to send packets. IE more lag. We stop drawing thrusters and other things in the hopes to speed up your framerate and lower your lag. Its not really a bug, more of a feature :) this "feature" appl...
