Re: OT: Stupid Stars!

STARS! was my first space-based TBS, I still fire it up from time to time.

Re: OT: Computer\'s...gotta hate \'em.

Out of curiousity, what OS do you run IF? I prefer win2k personally. Although, as you say, win98 is still certainly a viable OS(especially if you strip it down to around 30-50 megs or so lol)

Re: OT: Computer\'s...gotta hate \'em.

Yes, what I'd suggest, if you have a DVD burner, is to make your system partition about 4 gigs (8 gigs if you use dual-layer), install your OS and preferred base programs, then image the partition to...

Re: OT: Computer\'s...gotta hate \'em.

'Recovery' cd's are evil, they generally don't recover anything, they 'restore' your system to 'like-new' condition (ie. they reformat your HD and re-install the OS, and to hell with whatever else...

Re: OT: Hardware problem?

I was thinking that myself. It'd be easy enough to test for, run the comp with the side off (in a reasonably cool room), if it still locks, it's likely to be a power supply issue.

Re: OT: Hardware problem?

It's probably heat, especially if it's only happeneing during graphics intensive games. If you have a slot, right beside the vid card, free, I'd suggest a slot fan.

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

Also, unless you make the built-in shields phased, any ship made with that hull will have problems. Did you take a look at the example hulls and small mount I posted? I realised that with small ships...

Well...we certainly have enough un-used land. Then the question becomes...would you be able to afford it when we sell it back to you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Re: Question about \'None\' atmosphere.

Yes, it has, I was just looking for a logical reason why races of non-breathers couldn't make equal use of all planet s, which you provided.

Question about \'None\' atmosphere.

Logically speaking, shouldn't a race with 'None' atmosphere be able to settle on any planet/atmosphere type and have full use of the planet? You can't breathe vacuum, so I have to conclude that races...

Re: OT of an OT: Ethanol

As far as the crop used goes, I would recommend hemp. It grows well, even on marginal land, and can be planted/harvested 3 times per year.

Re: Big ship supremacy... Can little ships keep up

It's also somewhat more realistic to have fleets that aren't all composed of your largest hull, in my opinion at least.

Well...it would be nice if the AI could use the advanced small hulls, but even if it doesn't, the idea (of advanced small hulls) is still good. After all, the point is to make the small hulls...

You can make a 'super fast transport' with a large hull (for example: a battleship) by adding spaceyard and...
