sounds like something for engineering...

Gothic, server endings have never been related to anyone's proximity to 1 billion exp on the scoreboard.

Great work

How much do you lose on the UN commission lost?

running starport on windowed mode on win8 is fine, but put it in fs and it lags like crazy, eventually you end up with less than 10 fps. its really bad. but windowed mode, i sit at my normal 69 fps. thinking its definatly a win 8 issue and not a sge issue. For that, I'd recommend you re-install you...

It should definitely run on Windows 8. In truth Windows doesn't change much from 7 to 8, etc.. Those numbers are basically for marketing new products to their customers, and most of the difference is just in front-end features. They would get lots of complaints if applications that worked on 7 sudde...

Ok, well that was settled quick!

Working on the galaxy info screen, will hopefully be done by the end of the week.

Does point defense work on flower power bullets? If not, should it?

restoring the possibility of 1 person teams, too

This can be done probably

yes.

yes, that's fine.

Actually, because of a property of relativity called length-contraction, the travel times at near-light speeds are much faster than this article says. However for a stationary observer where the ship took off from, indeed millions of years would pass. But for the people on the ship, when you get to ...

The speed system is probably gonna change a bit soon. Actually flight mods will become obsolete and only thrusting will matter in determining top speed. It's a bit more realistic and it might even improve the smoothness of ship motions. That might have some effect on dexterity. It influences 3 thing...

Yeah, it would probably be a raiding pax for this reason.

BTW, the one vote for "not sure" up there is me.

Do you like it?

ok

Let me know if this is still a problem and i'll come by and fix them.

Looks like this story might have a happy ending after all

Mbps is a measure of bandwidth, which is a completely different thing than latency. 300 ms is a latency reading, which is a little high but probably what you'd expect from Cyprus. The bandwidth is good though, you shouldn't have much networking problems with starport. The snap-to feature in Windows ...

Unfortunately, the only joystick/mouse type device I have plugged in is an old logitech trackball and the keyboard is a Saitek Eclipse, both of which I have used successfully with the game in the past. I have gone through and unplugged USB hubs so that the only external things plugged in are the ke...

Hi there everyone - This is my first post here, i'm sorry that it's in the engineering section though ... Nothing wrong with the engineering section :D Welcome. When loading the game, it can take upwards of several minutes to login and a further 5 minutes or so to actually log in to a server. This ...

Gloin, the option in colony management called "Environmental Research" was made for players to combat pollution in their empires without cleaning or hiring janitors. Are you making the case that the effect of "Environmental Research" is still too weak in comparison to the effect of other workforce o...

Sure it does, give it a try

bad luck I guess. Should the penalty be less than 10% ?

Seems to be on your end, did you recently change network connection in any way?

It's working as intended afaik (as far as i know)
