Re: Sorry, but...

If you want to play a very fun, FINISHED game, I highly recommend Sword of the Stars, and it's expansion, Born of Blood.

Re: List of all space 4X games

Sword of the Stars should be listed as a 2006 game, with a link to: http://www.swordofthestars.com/ . Also, if you want, mention that Born of Blood is already out, 2007 as the 1st expansion. The next expansion has a clever acronym: AMOC and not much is currently known. It has been confirmed, however...

Re: Cheat menu for Freeorion.

Look, dude... the AI isn't even coded into the game yet. I don't understand why you need a cheat menu or whatever against a computer opponent that doesn't do anything. Now, maybe when we get to a final release, I could understand that... but this is a very stable, pre-pre Alpha version... and the wa...

Re: Ship Apperance / 3D Models / Designs

I find it rather ironic how you dismiss SotS style ships as being "cartoony" and "unrealistic", but homeworld ship designs are desirable, since basicly the same people made both ships!!

Re: Ship Apperance / 3D Models / Designs

1. There is no way of making a really good looking design and providing a way for the player to customize the ship parts positions at the same time, unless they are small(see homeworld) or we go for a more cartoon-like look. Having small ship parts doesn't make sense, if the purpose of having the p...

Ummm... yeah?? If you want to see a complete list of game features, check here. And they should be releasing a gold box soon, so if your a cheapskate, you can get main game + expansion for about $30 or so...

Re: DAMN BUGS

look, ok... freeorion is not at a full release version. It's at a very early, pre-pre alpha version. Sure, it's pretty stable when it runs, but it's definitely lacking in features. Things like AI, encounters, actual space combat, races, etc... We recommend contributing, and help it become the game i...

Re: How do i get on mp servers and how do they work?

Free orion is definitely not at a stage where I would recommend multiplayer. If you want a good, solid, multi-player friendly game, I recommend: sword of the stars. Also, be sure and get the expansion... most people in that community are now playing it!! :D

Re: List of all space 4X games

Born of Blood does the same thing for SotS. Oh, and they announced a 2nd expansion, with the cryptic acronym of AMOC. Now, what 4x space game has ever done 2 expansions?? :D

Re: new forum software reaction

I rather like the fact that my ship model pictures are in the avatars section. So, since I designed them, I chose one as my avatar. Oh, and perhaps there needs to be a link to "Mark all posts as read". This way spam-bot posts that are deleted don't keep showing up as unread. Thanks!!

Re: Sword of the Stars demo

Yeah, the devs of this game are very active with thier board community, update the game fairly regularly, and squash most bugs within a reasonable amount of time. Heck, they just released the expansion, and about a month later should have a full content update ready that fixes the new bugs, and adds...
