Any chance of this coming on to steam or impulse?

Guys, how the hell can I be 'out of memory' when I have 6GB RAM?!

Sigh...

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I had space ports that work as fueling points???? Until I took a fleet to them and then suddenly they didnt work...

Do they have limited amounts of fuel at space ports? I even went back to my home world with a large space port and it didnt refuel my fleet. (it refueled like 3 ships like 1/10th of their max and then stopped refuelling ships anymore)

Using the refuel fleet at nearest space port order.

How does all this refueling business work at space ports????

Then, I built a space resupply ship, and deployed it at a gas giant with caslon, hydrogen etc.... and told my fleet to refuel there, they went up to it, stopped and never went back to it to get fuel....

WHAT THE HELL?

This may sound silly, but do you have the second patch?

Okay, well my next question is do your ships use fusion or fission reactors? And do you have a good supply of the gas these reactors use as fuel? Fusion uses hydrogen I believe and Fission uses some gas which starts with a c I think.

yea well my space resupply base did I cant speak for the rest of my empire though.... i dont understand how to tell if private industries are dropping resources off at my bases.,

 i just would like to know how the refueling at a space port works and at a resupply ship works, because it definately did not work in my last game.

If space ports let you buy fuel (Fuel that I assume they fill up from hydrogen/caslon they get from traders???)

why isnt there a fuel meter on the space port to show if its capable of fueling a ship or 20 ships? Also if a space port isnt capable of fueling ships why does my fleet keep trying to go there when i select neared fuel dock or whichever the order is :/

I can keep my economy balanced, I can handle AI attacks, I cant handle random fuel shortages  :'(

New player syndrome is what this is, This is really a confusing bit of the game for me

It's a bug.  Also, 32 bit games can only use up to 4gb of ram, so it doesn't do any good to have more.  :(

I've been reading about the game's problems too much, and now I don't have the motivation to play it. :(

3 gigs, actually.

Wrong. You are conflating physical memory (which is not actually limited to 3GB, or even 4GB, on a 32-bit architecture--PAE increases it, but is used for other purposes on Windows XP) with virtual memory. Every process has its own 4GB address space.


As for this game: it looks interesting, it really does. But I've already bought a game with a raft of bugs this year, it's called STALKER. And for $40, I expect a game to be well-polished. Guess I'm waiting for it to hit $20 on Steam.

I likes the looks of this game. For me the most important aspect of a strategy is the opposition AI. I like to feel like im locking horns with a great tactician, rather than just an efficient machine or a moron.

I keep an eye out for this in a indie bundle deal or summit

Yes, I have the second patch, and the extra 2GB should handle all of Vista's junk, my large pagefile should be able to handle any extra junk (data on your disk can act like RAM, a-bit slower than RAM).

Well, guess I will have to start again for the third time. (second time I ran out of money :P)
