"Various reasons"... hehehe...
I suppose one reason is because the music is so loud, but still, that sounds rather suspicious, as if most of the sounds in the game are just pirated placeholder sounds or something from some other game

[ZeroAdunn]

Am I the only one who noticed facilities listed in the cargo window? Does this mean that facilities will be built just like anyhting else and can be moved around via ships? That is just cool.

Am I wrong? I am I seeing things?

[Will]

I interpreted that as a kind of simplification that has been requested by some people. Rather than have a set number of facility slots and a set number of cargo spaces, just make it one "space" value, and certain facilities would take up X spaces, and certain units would take up Y spaces, etc. But I guess we'll see.

[Kamog]

Moving facilities around on cargo ships? That would be so useful! Then you can prefabricate an entire huge planet's worth of facilities, go colonize a planet and drop the facilities there along with units and population, and instantly it's fully developed.

[Suicide Junkie]

Did you just say that with a straight face, Kamog?

[cshank2]

I personally don't like the idea of being able to move tons of facilities between planets like Kamog suggested. I also hate how badly the movie was compressed. It looked like utter shiza. Oh well. The game looks awesome, and did anyone notice the Grey looking aliens? (The ones that everyone sees when they gets abductz0red. You know, the Aurolain from SC2. Except they're yellow...)

[Ed Kolis]

Hmm, those guys... according to the list-box thingy on the left side, they're the Phong...

[cshank2]

Those are some oogly lookin' phongs. Oh well, all the more reason to terraform their worlds into glass!

But because it's so wildly 'out there' in game terms it ought to be a special technology. Something you can't develop until very late in the game when you'll be thinking of using it to fill ringworlds and sphereworlds.

[Ed Kolis]

Well, if you either have lots of really small facilities (so it can be explained as moving smaller industrial units around) or really huge facilities (so it can be restricted to late-game mega cargo transports) it could work...
