Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

When you are close to a shipyard, press B. it allows you to manually add and remove blocks, as well as scale them. That is how I build my Enterprises

Well, during my mission of exploration, I discovered a new specie. They call themselves... klingons.

In this screenshot you can see Spaghetti's Bird of prey.
of course, we are shooting at each other :P

Whew. This can be a helluva lotta fun when you get into it. Got a few screenies myself (fairly big):

This was my first meeting with Andrea, who rather showed up my awful Enterprise-esque thing as shown:

So I decided to create the enemy ship (Klingon), and something that would at least rival that scale. I came up with this:

You already saw the picture of our meeting, so I'll just put a last one here. Just a nice pretty one of my beauty again:

This is a damn fun game already, and it can only get better.

That's nothing. I had something mate with a pile of dead meat.

Like being Mac-compatible?

I hate that I can't play 90% of these games.   :'(

(No, I don't dual boot. And Wine doesn't really work.)

I decided to make a copy of the Voyager. However, I used much more trinium than I thought I would, and I ran out. So, it is half trinium half naonite, and it is flatter than I wanted it to be.
I am therefore resuming my  quest to the middle, to gather more resources for my ship building needs.

meanwhile, I have a screenshot from a bad angle.

Thats the price you pay for using a Mac.

(Well that and the literally higher prices for lower end components)

Hey, you actually got started on that. Nice.

By the way, I hate to be a pain, but the server's down again.

Regardless, that doesn't have anything to do with the extra hour or two it takes for indie developers to learn a new toolkit, or find a cross-platform engine, using SDL+OpenGL to make their games. It's not like they are pushing graphics hardware envelopes and so need to be tied to DirectX.

Heck, as much as I'm annoyed by Java it is cross platform.

So perhaps my question is: Hobby developers - why tie yourself to a platform? Even Dwarf Fortress is cross platform!

Heh, I think it may take more than an 'extra hour or two' to port games.

Ok I didn't put too much effort into it but I think that the cross reactor exhaust is a nice touch.

tryed to connect, and failed. is it down?

I think that having too many sectors explored is slowing the game down...
