THE GEEK's INDESPENSIBLE FILM LIST: Star Wars (including 1 and 2) Matrix Trilogy LOTR Series (okay maybe not quite sci-fi but fantasy with many of the same elements nonetheless) The star wars prequels and matrix sequels are not the best films in terms of story, exploration of character etc. but you ...

See the forum title at the top of the page :P .

In terms of the posted splash screens, IMO the one w/ the attacked cruiser (#3) is the coolest looking, textures or no.

Just my $.02 :wink:

Mark all fleets by their RELATIVE size to that largest Fleet. I agree, although IMO it would be good to have empire flags as ship icons (represening the spread of that empire), and color-code the flag icons as offensive/defensive etc. (all of this of course assuming the flags won't be completely no...

In terms of the tech tree, I believe the categories should be balanced to an extent where they are each "worth" around the same amount to a player. For instance, in Moo3, Energy had over 100 advances or some crazy number like that, and Economics somewhere around 30 advances. In that case i...

Hi again. Yeah, something appears wrong with the link to my stars, but don't worry about it. I just had posted them 'cause I saw that no one had yet replied to Tyreth's request. They were only really re-colourations of the originals with Photoshop :oops: , and the stars submitted afterwards by Miu (...

re: stars

Can anyone please provide us with the missing star types? We need to finalise all the details as soon as possible. http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/40ed9134_b739/bc/extra_stars.zip?bfTXZ7ABRmpJSSk3 I tweaked the v0.1 stars (apparently still to be used in v0.2, according to the "stars 0.2" thre...

For all you l33t people...

For all interested in some l33t humor ( :D ), a great parody on LOTR was posted here not too long ago.

Idealy the Disk and Halo layers would be combined in some way and then colorized for a huge number of combinations. 3 Disks, 5 Halos and 5 Colors (I personaly would like to see more colors like sky blue, teal, magenta). That would make almost every star unique. Good idea, would make for some intere...

Building ships powerful enough to reach other galaxies... Isn't that kind of like the research victory anyway? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you need a whole lot of techs to be able to achieve inter-galactic travel? Moo3 programers ran into a similar thing with the "Heir to the Throne&q...

Hey, as long as you aren't in the space combat screen and you're like "who's ship is that?" (squint at screen) "Is that ship green, or jade?" "AAH!" "Allied Casualties:100%" I'd agree that specific stats assigned to different hull designs would improve the dep...

I don't mind playing a game with 50+ drop-down menus that allow you to customize every facet of the graphical experience. It's a control freak's dream. You should be able to rename your leaders, and assign names to other civilizations that appear only to you (nicknames) 8) . Imagine... SITREP 1. Sau...

I think the game would benefit from race-specific hull design, if not from a gameplay standpoint (unique hull stats), then at least from a graphical/eye-candy perspective. As for custom races (if they won't be based entirely on a "base race" a la Moo3), why not just include hull style and/...

font and splash screen

I dunno, the font is interesting, but a bit complicated. I don't know if I could imagine it being used other than for title graphics and such. Seeing it in "informative" or "small print" sections might be to much of assault on the viewer's senses. Unless of course if it was desig...
