Would it be maybe reasonable for Shrapnel or on of the "advanced" players to filter MM's email so he isn't burried with "crap".

A lot of his emails are valuable feed back, but i am sure those are burried in requests to explain problems discussed in the forum or considered common knowledge to the regulars in this forum.

If we compare SEIV to most games released it came with less bugs than usual, and even the quake family hasn't seen this many fixes and updates in such a short time. The game is less than 5 months old and already is on 1.31.

Cut the guy some slack and go play a game.

Thats a good idea Triumvir, that would help I bet.

MM and Shrapnel should be applauded no matter what your personel feelings are about the game and problems you think need fixing.
I personally know a number of game designers and while they are great people none of them would provide this level of support for their product. The response time from MM for bug fixes is incredible and it just seems to me that they will continue to support the game way past the time most companies would give up and develop a sequel to sell you.
Great job!

Heh. Just remember this game could be Reach for the Stars, where *every* patch has included new bugs, many of them making the game unplayable.

Then, the game designer encrytped the data files so that modder types (like me) couldn't mod the files without trying to decrypt them. And had the gall to say on the message Boards that the files were encrypted because he didn't want to see stupid civillian modders screw up his beautiful game.

And then, when I bring up, politely, the numerous bugs and game problems, I get Banned from the message Boards.

And the designer wonders why his game sold so poorly. Heh.

I am posting this here, as well as in its own thread.

I do not know if this component already exsisits or not, but if it does not, can it be added to an up coming patch.

Simply put, a component that can be built on a planet that prevents warp points from opening within that planets system. Much like the components that prevent the destruction of stars and planets.

Actually I am considering not posting these anymore as to be honest all I here are complaints when I do.




Richard, Please don't stop posting! I find the information really exciting and I'm sure it is useful to many Modders.

If the 'complaining ' is bothering you then please just create a subject area that requires a certain class of priviledges to post.

Please ... "SE4 update information" ... something like that.

Thanks for your efforts to keep us informed so far.

I would just like to add my two cents (in Canadian pesos) in support of Richard and Aaron as well. The ongoing support for this game from MM and Shrapnel has been nothing short of phenomenal, and a tremendous example to the rest of the gaming industry on how to do things the right way. The great work you have all done and continue to do is very much appreciated.
