[quote who="bleybourne" reply="35" id="3699855"] I don't disagree with most of what you said, but this is just a pathetic point-grabbing nitpick, and you know it. Be they rectangles, dots, or little pictures of Adolf Hitler, the point he was making was distinct *things* that were representative of people as opposed to a bar graph. And you knew that but decided to correct him anyway. Pretty weak, dude.[/quote] I was more poking fun that he fought for a change that was different th

regarding the battles, the ships feel too big and the battle zone too small you don't even get RU from destroying enemy ships, which is a bit sad some sequence breaking as I can talk about the Crux without even meeting them I actually like most of the new species the battle of the second anomaly was intense I think you can get ships a little too easily, it was not that hard to form an armada I'm still not sure what posse

cuorebrave, you are jumping to conclusions based on things that have not even been stated. [quote who="cuorebrave" reply="16" id="3699762"] On a separate, but related note, why do you think everyone lobbied so hard to have Crew Dots instead of Health Bars? [/quote] YOU lobbied for them to be dots, and in SC2 they were rectangles. [quote who="cuorebrave" reply="16" id="3699762"] Which segues nicely into the next point... Who would spend ANY time explor

[quote who="Awkbird" reply="12" id="3699738"] Sure, but they already did that in UQM in 1992 and I don't see it being hard to do now in 2018. I'm talking less about bounties and more about how those actions impact how the plot actually develops. [/quote] My comment was directed solely at bounties. Though I could see it that you attracted bounty hunters more in the space of aliens from which you pirated from. [quote who="Awkbird" reply="12" id="3699738"] In

One problem with different reputations, a bounty hunter wouldn't care if the Mu'kay or Scryve are the ones paying the bill. Well I imagine most wouldn't. Still I think it would be good idea if attacking freighters belonging to the to a particular species would upset them.

I started to play Kessari Quadrant, also known as Star Control 3, here are my thoughts so far: not a fan of the moving star map, glad it can be paused, neither of the fact that it's 3D considering that it is displayed in 2D I dislike that they use the same dialog lines from SC2, I understand it is for the benefit of new players to learn about the returning species, but they could have at least changed it up some more if hyper space travel broke down how can

I'm curious, what is the relation between Cider and Nitrous? I actually liked the planet landings from Mass Effect 1, sure the Mako's handling could have used some improvements, the maps could have been bigger and the locations visited, I'm talking about bases and mines here, could have used some variety. But all in all I found it fun. "By default, the game procedurally generates planets. But the World Crafter lets us go to a planet and customize it by placing th

Congratulations to the winners. And thanks to everyone who participated.

Virtual memory allocation is not a setting just for the game. Look here .

Glad to see it's working for you, have fun.

Well you seem meet the system requirements. Here is a general troubleshooting guide. I suggest you check if your drivers are up to date and see your virtual memory settings.

[quote who="BuckStrider" reply="23" id="3699109"] *snip* Forgot about that option, but my comment still stands. Even a spy has to travel to (and land) see the tile layout. [/quote] If you are talking about Crusade, that's not how it works. After having a high enough espionage level on a civ, in the surveillance screen you can check on their colonies and see their layout. You don't need to send a spy to the colony, you just have to have discovered that colony.

Try exiting properties and entering again, or restart Steam.

[quote who="Tailor215" reply="60" id="3697620"]I don't see how it could change an opinion, P&F were the main developers of SC2 calling precursor a succesor to SC2 sounds natural, they Created it. Or was it agreed upon earlier that precursor would not be the succesor ? SCO already have plenty exposure let them have what they want, i will play both games anyway. Not siding with either at this moment, i would like to hear P&F's side to this though haven't herd a peep...i was so h

[quote who="ProtoJek" reply="2" id="3697505"] Quoting Rhonin_the_wizard, reply 1 So far this is the public schedule . The game itself won't be fully released until the players deem it is ready.

So far this is the public schedule . The game itself won't be fully released until the players deem it is ready.

Where did I wrote that SD wanted royalties or even implied that? I understood from Tailor's post that he was implying Paul and Fred had some claim to the brand, as in the trademark. If I misunderstood I apologise. And it's not about the name. Stardock owns more than the name. "Stardock, by contrast, possesses a perpetual, exclusive, worldwide licensing and sales agreement that was explicitly transferred to us by Atari who in turn acquired it from Accolade"

I hate typing on a mobile, just lost my post and have to start over. "Star Control" never belonged to Paul and Fred. The trademark was registered by Accolade. Which hired Paul to make a game for it. There were more people involved with the games than Paul and Fred. Look at the credits of SC1&2 or one of the articles linked in the first post. Stardock doesn't want to use the lore of the Ur-Quan universe. They want an agreement with P&F which would transfer

[quote who="mausolos" reply="8" id="3697321"] You guys realize it looks a little sinister to emphasize "responsibilities", like there's something in there someone wouldn't want? Like, what.. the "responsibilities" include some kind of debt or negative legal baggage? What are the downsides to having a clear path to the rights? [/quote] From what I understand the normal stuff when it comes to protecting IP. For example, if someone were to pirate Star Control 2 no

Just posting some of my thoughts so I won't forget them. If this is a misunderstanding why didn't they contact Brad directly since we know they were in talks? If they, P&F, had a legal leg to stand on why not just send a cease and desist letter to Stardock rather than posting a statement on a blog? Why post the statement on a Friday afternoon when there would be no one at the office of Stardock to make an official response?

After thinking about it for a while here are my suggestions for Stardock, keep in mind I have no knowledge of laws. if it is legally possible make available online the document between Paul and Accolade also post the document through which you wanted to return the rights to Paul and Fred if it possible post proof of royalties paid to Paul and Fred from the sale of classic games if you have any from when Atari owned the IP post that as well <

If there is a legal battle over this the only ones who would win are lawyers. The fans, Stardock and Paul & Fred would all lose. Now regarding Paul and Fred's announcement.

[quote who="tingkagol" reply="30" id="3697099"] I think they're pissed when SC1 and SC2 and SC3 began appearing on Steam's store as of late, especially at the height of the SC:O beta cycle. [/quote] Why would that be a problem? The old games have been available for purchase on GOG since 2011 and Paul & Fred receive a royalty for them.
