its been improving...still issues here and there...pirates dont apear everywhere now and no longer spawn super ones(it would pull random designs including invalid ones)...on average a system will have pirates 3 days out of a week unless you blow up the station then it wont respawn for at least another week...it also no longer spawns 5 pirates for 1 ship, it will spawn 1 of a similar tech level or 2-3 of a much lower tech level design.

biggest issue right now is ships will sometimes sundive or sometimes get stuck trying to land on a planet that rotates too fast....

Anyone up for a new B12 Empire?

Anyone up for a new B12 Empire?

my biggest recomendation is to start your own empire to make a race how you want, you will keep that look and abilities, get said empire to at least being able to make tech level 2 ships, then go join whatever empire your wanting to, this way you can learn at your own pace and not feel as overwhelmed...since its a very complex game...be like learning dwarf fortress without a wiki...except losing is equal to die horible to random creatures on your planet over and over again...

Having played before I'd be perfectly OK with joining someone else's empire. We'd need to figure how we're going to dole out build permissions- I don't remember if chain of command is exclusive. Ideally I think we should have several people with full privileges.

But yeah if you haven't played before, you should probably start a new empire, maybe with one or two friends (who are either online at the same time as you or you communicate with often outside of the game) who are going to work with you from the ground up. Doing it alone CAN get dull, but if you start off in an existing empire you'll be clueless.

doesn't work like that, how most it could work is 2 people with pretty much full permissions(emperor/vice emperor) then major people be assigned sectors, systems, cities, so you could end up having up to 5 people able to control a single city...dont expect me to join as i'm in an empire already, i can however give advice and info...

[Sensei]

Is anybody on right now who's in charge of a space-faring empire? I wouldn't mind joining them.

appart from graphical glitches, lag, C time run errors, and all aroung noobery around the interphase, its all around fun!

[alamoes]

After facing floating trees above a seemingly endless ocean, it apears that I am on ground, but I cannot see the ground.  I give up. 

[Sirus]

Integrated Intel graphics card? Those can't render the ground. Pretty strange when you're on a moon, look at the planet and can see the clouds but nothing else.

[Sensei]

Yeah my friend can't run it at all. But I think it's awfully fun when (if) it gets going.

Is ship designing like Aurora where if you forget to add some component or don't have enough of that system "power" you simply have a blueprint that doesn't really work, or does it hand hold you and give you warnings and such?

The former, mostly.  You will get big red warnings in the ship spec if you've got something really broken (like not enough capacitor to engage your jump drive), but it won't warn you that you've got a design makes it impossible to actually get to the bridge, or so few weapon bays that you won't be able to hit anything.

Actually, I think they added some pathing checks. There has to be a transporter, or a path to the outside from every station I think.

[Sensei]

You can still construct ships with no door to the cockpit. It WILL check for paths and warn you, but not automatically. You have to use the 'check for paths' button.
