Known Graphic Bug, or Intended Wink?

There's a little video event (a movie) when you dig in ancient ruins on a planet. It starts in with a view of a human eye and backs up the view. The first time the eye blinks, it's a blink, but the second time, only that eye closes and opens while you can see the other eye? Is the person winking on ...

Well played with the Sonic Screwdriver. Create a fake telecommunication device and called it the Tartarus :p

Random Thoughts of Humor

1. What if there were LOLcat Kitten Pirates in this game? What if they could attack your system, not with weapons, but with questions? Answer correctly and you get a bonus. Fail, and they make a planet useless for a time because every inhabitant is too busy playing with the kitten pirates and feedin...

Re: RESOLVED: Is there a something wrong with the enconomy n

This is resolved as of Alpha 3.38 "Repairs are no longer automatic." In your scenario you found ancient cities in ruins and they needed repairs which can be costly. Thanks for reporting this! It was an important fix, also affected damage from bombardment. You mentioned Gold Deposits dissa...

Re: Fairin's NEW list of testing for devs =(^.-.^)=

Fairin, I love your enthusiasm and your effort, but...you warmonger! A war on 4 fronts?! I've only been able to diplomatically piss off two factions. Did you open relations by shooting their ambassadors?

The Planet of the Cursed Expenses (Economic Woes)

THIS THREAD PORTED FROM GAMEPLAY FORUM. Before, I could spread out and make new colonies, and had to pick which ones to upgrade, but I understood things well enough. Now, I made one colony and right away I went negative money, as though suddenly there is a hole in my wallet. It says I'm making 161 m...

Re: Is there a something wrong with the enconomy now?

Colonizing this odd terran planet also makes the Gold Deposits vanish! Waugh!

Is that normal?

Also, of note, as a military outpost with a cost of 1bc to upgrade to a colony, this wretched planet that looked so perfect cost me 1.75bc per turn in expenses. Goodness, why?!

Re: Is there a something wrong with the enconomy now?

I did a little more poking at it, and what seems to be happening is that I'm being charged for upgrades I didn't sign off on, and it's all happening at once on that planet with the ancient civ. I end up, after several turns, with some upgrades worth 10k, which is strange. Again, it said 'repairing'.

Re: Is there a something wrong with the enconomy now?

Now confirmed. Net income exceeds net expenses by 500mil and I'm still losing money every turn. Is this my punishment for having a kitten avatar?! ;)

Re: Standard Orbit

Would it make sense for any colonizers entering a friendly system to auto-magically decide, unless told not to, to go orbit the nearest best economy planet with a starbase? We can do this and it should be a good change, it would be for all task forces that don't have specific orders, not just colon...

Re: Ship sizes

Miniaturization would certainly make sense, will add your suggestion when we do a technology enhancement pass. Thanks for the feedback. This gets my vote, for what it's worth. The idea that things take less space when upgraded is an awesome one! Also, I have to ask...what's the point of having 4 ve...

Re: What is in a Name?

So listen, I bought the game and am really excited by it. I did want to make an observation however. Before buying a game I usually scan YouTube for videos to find out what it is and perhaps watch some game play. This helps me decide if it is really for me. The issue I found was the world Horizon i...

Re: Donate to Build the Autobots a Moonbase!

I don't like the idea of a special moonbase for human with an Earth start. How can this translate to playing other races or random galaxies? I do agree there seems to be an issue here. The starbase sinks the home world economy but colonies produce profits with a couple of years. Neither seems right...
