And will this new website use your innovative ratings system running the gamut from 90%(rubbish) to 100%(brilliant)? Hehe.

I take your point about games being reviewed by people who don't like the genres involved though.

seriously as I said, it does not get a 90% in its current state, due to the fact it needs to have the tables and filters.. general UI stuff sorted, there will be no problem giving it close to 95% once that is in place.

When I did the long post, I was not being entirly serious, it is not as though I am being paid here to test out the game and do a full report... I used to write reports, reviews, scoring... everything! I used to have one to one chats with devs or reps of the devs/publishers, but I am just giving a little review from playing a little! please dont take it to seriously!

I sadly constated that the AI isnt much improved since SE:IV, as I hoped. In the AI home system I saw a 22% mineral planet filled with 20+ mines and next to this there is a research colony (20+ facility too) with 122% mineral value.

However nice to see all the new diplomatic options, but diplomacy with the AI seems as pointless and dumb as was in SE:IV.

lol, I honestly wondered if you were reading or would of remembered!

I have been learning more about other techs, but I still generally think if it looks alright, there is no need to stick to them strictly... I am using more and more, but probably not as many as you would want me to, but that is another issue I wont go in to!


however one project I am working on will require standard, but I cant go in to more details at the moment shhh!

So I guess I'm the only one getting so many Access Violations that I cant even get to turn 20, eh? Any suggestions? Do I have a bad install? I cant imagine that I'm having any issues with systems specs.

What are some potential causes of 'access violations'?

Thanks

There is a big UI problem that stands in my way, its the way the units are NOT stacked in the planets & ships cargo. Even the turn log will tell you that you have produced 30 units with 30 messages. Quite strange that it bothers just me.

Aside that, the battle engine stutters quite a lot, am I alone with the problem?

(still a great game)
