It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I have to admit the game was broken and buggy as when it came out, but over the last few days I've quiet enjoyed it.
There is still! a couple of crash to desktop issues, and the UI is overly slow, but the core of the game seems quite fun now.

Don't expect turning down graphics to help with the slowness issues, it's clearly a cpu bound not a gpu bound issue. Most likely some terrible code in there somewhere that hopefully they fix soon.
Still patching often which at least speaks well of the team (even if releasing it in it's in now, let alone the state it was last year, speaks poorly)

The AI is also terrible, but I understand it hasn't been their focus with all the other issues.

I have a lot of fun playing this with my buddies. The AI is pretty duncy but passable, but playing against another human is lots of fun.

I just managed to get into this game. I think I'll like it! I'll have to take a look at SotS2 now, though.

Sword of the Stars 2 just got the 'all clear'. The developpers now feel that the game is in the state that it should have been at release. I know many of you (myself included) got burned because of the early release fiasco a year ago, but I felt that I had to put this up. There still will be patches (some minor niggles remain and the AI just isn't finished), but now you can at least play the damn game.

Announcement can be found here.

A year, almost to the day, and now they say they are release complete. This is the state they say they wanted to release the game in.

I'll probably give it a try this weekend.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Speaking of the first game, the Peace Keeper hates everyone and rail cannons are boss. I plan to combine the two, by using a flagship and as many Impactors as possible to blow the hell out of him. You know, before he zaps them from existence.
Quick update. He won.

Where's the civie/military challenge? One player is the civilian side, the other is military.

im not getting the last question.

for the peace keeper, youre not supposed to win against him - he is a uber etnity forcing peace. though its possible to kill him with the right fleet setup and good late game techs, for me he usually shows up mid game. depending on if youre just about to consilitate your earnings or about to start a major genocide, he can either be very helpfull or very annoying.
just do not attack anything, and for that matter do not even try to defend anything. the keeper will kill anything shooting.

The Swarm keeps trying to take my planets, taking the Peace Keeper with them. He doesn't seem to mind, as long as they are attacked in deep space. Once they reach a planet, he joins in on the pillaging.

ok, so if youre in the situation, that if you do not actively defend against an invasion the fleet just will block the planet and if you defend, the pc will kill you all, just send a single cheapass ship to deal with the intruders to trigger the pc clean up.

at least it runs, but the interface is godawful.
