See? Told y'all it would be worth the wait. :P

[quote who="SchismNavigator" reply="23" id="3669199"] I don't understand why they still use Skype when Discord is so superior. [/quote] There is an internal discussion about Stardock switching to Slack or Discord. Also... Brad said that he needs to finish up on the update. I predict that it will be an interesting one, worth the wait.

[quote who="Volusianus" reply="11" id="3669141"] You know, it's totally okay if the update is a few days late. [/quote] I am in no rush whatsoever.

After GDC is done. Brad is on "vacation". EDIT: Apparently, I have over 1000 posts now. Wow. http://imgur.com/a/hCzXz

[quote who="player1_fanatic" reply="60" id="3668359"] What I do not miss is 99.99% of off topic content in the chat. [/quote] http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/skype_log_view.html

Just a reminder... You guys are missing out if you haven't joined. And if you have (and found the amount of non-SCO chat daunting), I have been keeping the title of the room up to date with the latest Skype-Only SCO news. We have also learned a great deal about our fellow members, and it has provided a release valve to vent some member-to-member tension that has built up on the board. If you feel slighted, upset, or challenged, come over and hash it out with

^ This is exactly what I mean.

[quote who="Kavik_Kang" reply="53" id="3667380"] I just don't understand why everyone thinks the chat is great and constantly complains about the forums. [/quote] It is not just that we get frustrated with the state of the software that powers these forums. We get daily updates from Brad in the Skype channel. We get nothing here on the forums. We have unmoderated freedom in the Skype channel. We are under the moderator's boot on the forums. [

[quote who="player1_fanatic" reply="4" id="3667197"] You mean super small thumbnail near ship icon? That is barely visible. [/quote] No, there is a full panel of them in one of the updates.

The opening may be similar, but there isn't anything that says that the game will be a clone of the SC2 storyline. Some indications of the Xraki having a fusion of Dan'Nath and Scryve ship tech indicates that. (Though it has been said that this is causing some trouble in SuperMelee since it is a huge spoiler. Expect changes.) Also, there is a strong chance that the game's opening will be rewritten. Brad was not satisfied with how cliche the first hour played out. &

[quote who="player1_fanatic" reply="2" id="3667133"] Where was it published? [/quote] In one of the updates. They were the X-shaped evil-looking guys.

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="42" id="3667060"] ^ 1080p/30fps?... Surely you mean 1080p/60fps. Who the phahk plays their games @ 30fps?.... [/quote] These guys...

We have pictures of the Xraki.

[quote who="SavageMind1" reply="19" id="3666885"] So if you got a beef with a dev get it out in the open or address it to them directly. [/quote] They know. And it has been. [quote who="SavageMind1" reply="19" id="3666885"] . That's why I start my own topics. Instead of the devs reading a endless amount of your blather they can read the top of my post to get my feedback. [/quote] This doesn't make me feel like this forum is c

[quote who="The_Think_Tank" reply="17" id="3666718"] Also, no where have I ever seen the developers saying that our opinions don't matter because we don't have enough data, the only place I have ever seen that argument used is by members of this forum either withhold such judgement because we really don't have a lot of information, or being used as an argument against a scathing review of certain information. [/quote] I am sending you a PM with more details on wh

[quote who="wizisi2k" reply="40" id="3666708"] just sent contact request. I don't know if it's because I spent money adding skype credit or not but I have never been hit with an ad in skype. I am also on windows 10. [/quote] The bars that have video links on how to use Skype are what show ads. This method gets rid of them as a side effect. The end result is less screen clutter. This is what it looks like when you don't have any ad windows.

[quote who="Kavik_Kang" reply="37" id="3666667"] What would I have to do to set this up? Do I need Skype or is it just part of Google or something? [/quote] Download and install Skype. (You don't need a camera or a mic. We're just chatting via text.) Add Draginol (Brad Wardell) as a contact. (Menu>Contacts>Search Skype Directory...) Wait. (Brad will add you to the chat group. It may take a day.) If you l

If you are wondering why the forums have been quiet so soon after the update, it is because we are hanging out in the Skype Star Control Founders group. If you haven't joined yet, you should. You are missing out.

^ It doesn't matter. This topic is dead to me now that it got moved out of the Founder's area.

[quote who="Pyro411" reply="34" id="3666405"] That and I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't want to remember last night. [/quote] If I learned one thing about last night, I learned that cheaters DO win.

What's next? Are you going to try to morally justify corked bats, loaded dice, or memory editing next? Edit: Ooo, and doping, too. Gotta have doping in the mix! Good ole' Lance didn't cheat at all. " It's not cheating if it is an option that is available." -Best Kavik quote ever.

[quote who="Kavik_Kang" reply="35" id="3666382"] ...and that is what I am talking about. If they can't detect it then they might as well give up and just tell the players that if they truly want to be competitive they need to spend the extra money for a keyboard and mouse. Trying to fight this kind of thing is always a lost cause. The players will do what they can do, and anything they can do is fair. It's up to the designer to close all the loopholes, you

It has been said before that SCO is targeting an eventual console release. That would mean that the Nitrous engine will need to be ported to the XBox One and PS4. (Nintendo Switch???) On the Nitrous Engine FAQ page... Q. What platforms does Nitrous support? A. Nitrous is currently in production on 64-bit Windows platforms supporting DirectX 11 and AMD’s Mantle. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam OS support is planned.
