Indeed, if only someone out there had written a space 3D RTS game ooh, say 15 or so years ago as a perfect example of how to do 3 dimensional fleet formation management the right way that Egosoft could just emulate...

If you don't mind flying just one ship - Rebirth his deeper and better in every other aspect over any of the previous games. (I don't mind just one ship - the existence of drones, interior and finally a proper cockpit make the one-ship system actually better than multi-ship system for me). The one-...

Yes, rejoice, weep if you will, for I have returned as promised/threatened! (*delete as applicable). I've even managed to be roughly on schedule which is quite the accomplishment in and of itself. So, one year-ish down the line and the forums at least are still online so I guess that's a tentatively...

http://www.dbbr17626.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/nd01.png So, after a short conversation on the responsibilities of retailers and the merits of being nice to your long time customers Steam have organized me a refund, yay! Which suits me just fine as it's Steam Xmas sale week anyway, double yay! In other n...

It's a nice idea, but I doubt the legal weasels would have gone for it. They'd probably see it as admitting liability before you've even started and lawyers tend to be the "DENY EVERYTHING!!!!" types.

amazing.. this basement dweller thread is still going? trolling never gets boring for some, eh? put some more energy into the amazing prospect of a 50 bucks refund! :D 50 hours of trolling earns you 1 buck/hour, almost a get rich fast scheme Every time you add to this thread you merely bump it to t...

If you followed the game news lately, you can see DeepSilver has pushed out a few games lately, and in certainly one case (Ride to Hell: Retribution) it was an absolute embarrassing train wreck that was clearly pushed out the door way before it was even playable... Yes, Deepsilver have been shoveli...

There's been a lot of conspiracy theories bandied about the last week and most are just the product of fevered imagination. I personally think it's simply a case as you say that the game was over running it's deadline and Egosoft literally had to release now, whether the game was complete or not, or...

If this is the cause and the default behavior for stations is as stated then this is a bug that should have been picked up instantly.

Agreed. Bugs are bugs. Undesirable, but sometimes not always easily avoidable. In due course tho they can be tracked down and squashed. Design decisions are another matter as they form a core part of the game and changing a bad design decision would require an extensive recoding from the ground up. ...

I agree with Antilogic. The space environment in as much as I've seen to date, which is admittedly limited, is very pretty. But then Egosoft have always done a good job of environmental design in my opinion. What they're not so good at tho is storyline which I also agree with. The introduction of Yi...

I personally do not believe bugs should be expected, nor do I believe we should blindly accept them. The glaringly obvious to anyone bugs should not be acceptable and should be fixed before release, but people should also accept that some bugs only come to light when the game is actually released a...

At the moment where you spot the first one, spin around spraying ION-D fire everywhere, then check your radar, you'll hit loads.

ION-D only stuns them for a short while tho so while you're scooping them up keep pulsing your guns to keep them stunned.

If you want to add some hardware that will give a substantial and noticeable boost to performance then get yourself an SSD as a system/games drive.

I find large swarms of smaller ships launching missiles to be more effective, if less efficient than single ships. Yes, a swarm of smaller ships launching missiles spreads your warheads over a vastly greater area and makes them extremely hard to shoot down. M7M can dump a lot more firepower in a gi...

Would you have any issues if the next game release is only available on Steam's new operating system? Don't get me wrong, I try to support Egosoft and their games in every way possible, but if Steam achieves what they wish I only see a dark future. How would that be any different to any other devel...

I noticed now that I've unlocked 25m and 50m in account I seem to have some more game starts unlocked. One of them is listed as "Dead is Dead." Is that for real? Does it somehow honestly restrict you from reloading old saves, or not let you save without closing out or something? Yes. you get a spec...

Well, I restarted my game and went through using the seta much less than i did which did solve alot of collison issues. Still having problems with missions and not able to find gainful trade with other stations. Don't use 10x SETA. 10x breaks the game, stick with the default setting. In fact don't ...

300K is enough to equip your Disco with a full complement of IRE, shields and Freight scanner. With that you have everything you need to go pirating weapons transporters. Ideally what you're looking for are the ones carrying Mass Drivers as they're an S-class cargo, about 100k or so apiece and you c...

Recycle them for ship-building components.
