Thanks! Where did you find that? I figured it was up somewhere, I'd just missed it.

I can't seem to find any detailed patch notes and this announcement is rather vague. Do you have anything more detailed written up on what was changed?

Specifically what does "various tweaks to gameplay" and "some additional bug fixes" mean?

I just think its cool that we have a game where two people can successfully play in completely different ways, even down to what they control and how their ships behave.

Probably all planetary facilities should be scrapped when you capture a planet to prevent stuff like this.

By using the 'fighters' system could we make troops land on small lander craft which could be shot down by point defense systems?

I'm not opposed to a contract system where I could offer a bonus for shipping a certain material to a certain place.

Yeah I would like to see migration pushed much more, especially to colony worlds that are your race's native type.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: noname<br/> <br/> First of all, I don't even own the game yet. I 'm just reading these posts to find out if I want to buy it. So far one of my biggest objections is FUEL. It sounds like a pain in the neck. I don't want to micro manage anything. I came to this concl...

Yes, as far as I know aggressiveness plays a big part in ship design weapon content,

Of course if they simply make everything target troop transports first then I can design a decoy 'troop transport' with massive shields and armor and they'll all shoot at it while my fleet shreds them.

<t> It's far too easy to accidentally come across as harsh or confrontational when your only medium is text. It's remarkable how much tone of voice and body language play into communication, and we often forget about them being absent online. <br/> <br/> I'm glad you didn't take it too personally Ig...

Good idea, I'll have to try that. I noticed the large caslon buildup when I switched to the more efficient fusion reactors but wasn't sure what to do about it.

Oh nice idea. So they become 'cleaner' while still blasting away the xenos filth.

Well, it's fun once or twice.

But yeah I agree with you. Maybe the difference between the researched bombardment weapons should be greater.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: diablo1<br/> Thing is you're not a moderator and you have no right to tell me I can't have an opinon here. I am comparing this game to X3 and I have that right.

So noted. I'm not worried, I've done nothing but ask you to stop spamming advertisements for X3 and start contributing to the forum.
